P&T's win! But of course we all knew that, they are liberally recommended by many mums

Basically the P&T Sport came out on top .. followed by MB then the Baby Jogger (if I recall correctly).
They only did midpriced buggies though .. although the Baby Jogger including a raincover was dearer than what I paid for my Vibe and I know which one I would prefer!

I don't think there was anything shocking at all. They just rated them and asked four mums what they preferred and P & T came out on top over all.
So, are P & T the best overall? I've been looking at the Vibe as well but don't really know what I'm looking for but have generally heard good things about this brand. That's why I watched Target as I was hoping to get some good tips but was a bit disappointed.

I preferred the Vibe over the other P&T models .. but you should go in and check them out.
Basically I thought the brake was better . other than that it just looked prettier lol

I was seriously disappointed, thought they might have mixed it up a little - they chose 4 similar buggies of a similar price range, of course they were going to be much of a muchness. Gah.
littleLittle, I think like most things it depends on what features are important to you and where you're going to be taking them etc... there are a few threads in the product reviews section about buggies

So the advertising for the program was a hoax basically!
I love my MB but I've got the old type Urban that I bought 5 years ago.
Was just intrigued as I understood that 3 of them had really bad safety reviews or something like that.

Yeah unless the shocking thing was how easily that buggy tipped (what was it the Elite??) 
I don't like P&T's at all (mainly because I reckon they feel too light plus the issue with the brake as per the review on TV) but that's what I picked in the baby on the move competition because I knew it would win. So now I'm in the draw - yay!

I love my sport buggy. I must be a lot stronger than other people that have them coz I don't have any problem with the brake. I like the brake emchanism as when its locked i know it is. the vibe i thought was real bulky and the hand brake i thought could be not as safe coz theres more to go wrong. But yay for the P&T sport. I rate it

lilfatty - my DH liked the Vibe because of the way it looked too! But I did think the brake on the handle was a great idea. And I like the fact that you can add the toddler seat for number 2.
weegee - thanks for the tip on the product reviews. I never thought to look in there. I think the hard thing is I don't really know what features I need to look for which is what makes it all the more confusing! I guess I just need to go in and talk to someone and they'll fill me in.
I was surprised too that the most expensive one (the baby jogger or something?!) seemed to tip so easily. Scary!
