 Topic: Phil and Teds prams

Hi All
I think I am sold on a Phil and Teds pram but not sure which model is best.
Which ones do you have and what do you think?

I have a sport and find it great. It has been upgraded to a new model now though.
We've had no problems with it so far and we've been using it since Nov 2009.

Does anyone with the Dash have a problem with the front wheel and steering? Mine seems to go all over the place.

I have the dash too! Love it i walk at least 2hours everyday and its still looks new, tread on tyres are perfect.
Cali - i had the same problem - you can lock it so it just goes straight (but terrible to steer in mall etc) - my DP did something to fix the crazy steering wheel but it was months ago and with no more then 4hours sleep in a row in nearly 9 months i can't remember what he did!!!!! i will ask him tomorrow!

Ooohh one thing I don't like about the dash, is that it's quite hard to balance a supermarket basket on the top...  Dumb but surprising how often I wanted to!

We have the explorer. Love love love it. We went in looking at the vibe, but needed something that would be good around town and also cope well with an active outdoor lifestyle and were advised by the staff at Nurtured that the explorer would be a better fit for us. Very impressed with the suggestion as the explorer was $200 cheaper than the vibe and I got free storm and shade covers too

Nurtured is fantastic. We brought our sport from them from the shop in town when they were babysafe :) I'd reccomend them as they are often cheaper than other stores and really helpful!

I went into Nurtured to look a couple of weeks ago- gee their prices are good and they really recomened the Explorer - they've NEVER had one back, and for all round versatility they are great.
Last time I was there it was about $799 for the buggy with both the storm & sun covers. I'm off to my parents in a couple of weeks they are buying the pram for us so that'll be our pick!

I have a Sport V2 which they replaced with the Explorer recently. I have the Sport not the Explorer though.
I like it and it's been great but I've found now DD is getting bigger that it's a massive PITA and I much prefer baby wearing but sometimes you need the buggy! I have never had issues with it's size but sometimes, unless the wheels are constantly inflated fully - it can be a struggle to push!
Most people 'complain' about the stiff break but I personally haven't had an issue with it, I agree it's 'stiff' but that is so a toddler in the 2nd seat can't take it off. I don't find it hard to put on and off. I can do it with my hands too if wearing Jandals.

I have the Vibe version 1 and recently had to send it back due to the wobbly front wheel issue, which is fixed wuth the Vibe version 2 they sell now. I just wantt to say I had excellent after sales service from them and nothing was a problemm, they fixed the issue under warranty even though the buggy was bought over 2 years ago.

We have a vibe version 2, and I love it, when it's up. Not loving attempting to fold the thing. I havn't had it long though so am sure I'll get used to it

I've got a Vibe2, but am yet to use it. I've practised folding & unfolding it which is fine, but might be a different story when I'm out and about and it's raining and bubs is crying in the car...eek! I like that it's lighter in weight compared to some of the other P&T models, and we got a great deal on it with a second seat, doubles storm and doubles sun cover thrown in for less than the buggy's RRP. Happy shopping!

Yup mine does that. I was in baby city one day and mentioned it and she said that you need to take the front wheel off and clean the pipe bit. I have not done this yet as I CBA but yeah. The spring in the bucle on the front seat of my dash is bent and it needs fixing cause it doens't clip up properly. Apart from alwasy needing to pump up the tyres, i love it. But I wish I could have got it in green. Thats the only crappy part.
