The Droolicious Shopping Guide: Phil & Ted's Strollers

Posted by Chloe20022


 

Phil & Teds’ inline strollers have allowed parents to remain on the move… even after baby number two arrived.  Now the clever Kiwis have added a fourth model to the lineup: The Dash.  Touted as the “active urban inline stroller,” the Dash looks similar to its predecessors.  But don’t be fooled by the familiar face, the Dash has a few tricks its pared-down relatives lack. ($549.99)

Pros: More padding than the cheaper Classic and Sport models.  Adios to the temperamental foot break—Dash has a user-friendly hand break.
Cons: Only two color choices, and the sun shield remains inadequate.
Best for: Anyone with two tikes who are unable to go the distance.


Classic: The original stripped down version.  ($299.95)

Pros: Cheap and sturdy.
Cons: Not much padding one color choice.  Quirky brakes.
Best For: Budget conscious parents of two.

Sport: Six swell colors. ($419.99)

Pros: Cool colors, better handle than the Classic.
Cons: The foot brake.
Best for: Fans of bold color.

Vibe: Upscale version incorporates a slick aluminum frame.  ($789.90)

Pros: Sleek look, adjustable handle and excellent brake.
Cons: Pricey.
Best for: Fat wallets.

Twin: Side-by-Side model. ($549.99)

Pros: Kids can look at each other.
Cons: Wide frame may be a challenge to maneuver.
Best for: Twins.

Thanks this guide helped me decide what inline buggy to buy.  I decided on the Dash for the value and price it really has some great options. Not many stores have the stroller. I was only able to get online at buggyunlimited.com.

I looked at joggingstrollers and barebaies, but the strollers were not instock.  I am so excited to get the product!  I will let you guys know how it works out.
