Phil and Ted Vibe Stroller

The Vibe is distinctly a step up for Phil and & Ted’s. It looks a little more modern, trendy, and expensive than the Dash,Sport Buggy or Classic impart to the all-aluminum frame, which also cuts back on the weight of the stroller by a few pounds and puts it in the same league of more upper-class strollers such as the Bugaboo. New improved features also make the stroller more user friendly. Some of my favorites of this stroller are the hand brake, which easily allows you to lock and unlock the wheels without taking your hand from handlebar; the removable, washable insert pads; the improved connectors, which make attaching the second seat a breeze; the plastic foot tray, which is easily cleaned; the fast adjustable handlebar; and the multi position sunshade keeping the harmful sun rays away from you and your tot. The ride is very smooth and elegant a noticeable improvement over the Sport Buggy. However, the Vibe stroller does seem a little wider than other Phil and Ted Strollers, sacrificing a bit in turning radius.    

The Phil and Ted’s Vibe is really easy to assemble and most of the major parts have been made to “quick release” which is great for traveling anywhere; we had it assembled in a matter of minutes. The largest challenge of the Vibe Buggy was figuring out how to fold it. The pictures are clear, but it at first seems as if you’re bending the stroller the wrong way when you fold it up with the doubles kit attached. I assume that regular use will make this easier; there’s a little bit of a learning curve to folding most strollers, and its definitely an improvement over having to remove the doubles kit each time. Most baby buggies have a unique way of folding that you just have to learn from repetition and it’s taken quite a bit of clever engineering to get the Vibe to fold as flat as it does with the seat attached. My only complaint with folding the Vibe with the double seat attached is that it exposes the removable seat pad liners, which get dirty very easily, particularly in the trunk of your car. This is a good reason to get the all-black model.

After closely examining the vibe stroller it truly is great. Phil & Ted’s has clearly upped the ante in strollers, giving consumers a ton of choices and features with all of the new models. Those who are willing to spend the money should be really happy with the Vibe, however the Dash  is currently my favorite Phil & Ted's from a value/feature standpoint. Also we have found that many people also found that the strollers from http://www.Maclarentwinstrollers.info were a good option.
