Is it better to get a sports or a classic?

I don't think there are really many differences between the 2 models. I think the classic only comes in red, so if you wanted another colour you would have to get the sports. Have a look at both models in the shop, and decide which you like best I guess!!

Good luck deciding!!

The only difference that i can see so far (but havent looked too much yet) is that the classic has 3 positions the seat can sit at and the sports has 4 positions.

Thanks for the replies.
There isn't too much difference. The classic is a slightly less able buggy for off road and it doesn't have an adjustable handle.
I decided once I saw them side by side that for the extra 20 it was worth getting the sports (I do alot of off road). Somehow the sport just seemed a little more sturdy on its wheels.

I also decided that I wanted to sport model

The main things I found thru looking and reading were that the classic has
(from a website)
Ergonomic, 2 position adjustable handle
3 position seat recline

whereas the sport has
4 position contour seat™
(upright, heads-up, sleepy & lie flat)
Multi-position handle for easy adjustments between different users

I also found the sport had an additional bar across the main seat which I felt more comfortable with.

Hi,

I also got the sport. Just check that the classic one's seat is padded. I know the sport one is padded.

We are going with the Dash - main reason being the brake on the Sport is really not that easy to put on/off (especially if wearing jandals). The Dash has the brake on the handle - far easier and less stressful! We're also getting the capsule attachment, so baby doesn't have to be woken from car seat to buggy...

I know a lot of people talk about the brakes being hard on the sport but I can honestly say I have had absolutely no problem with it. I wonder if they fixed it or whether I just got lucky or something.
The dash did look good too. Just remember that babies should be kept in their capsules too much. Sleeping a baby in a capsule really increases the risk of sids. I do not say that to scare you but just to mention it. I never had a capsule just to reduce my risk of wanting to keep my babe in the capsule because he was sleeping and he didn't ever mind being transterred to the buggy. They get used to whatever you do with them I gues.

I'd like a Vibe. Although if we were only going to have one child, then a bugaboo would do just fine
