3 wheel strollers - cost

I'm looking to get a 3-wheel pram, probably a Phil & Ted's Vibe because I want the double kit for #2 (all going well lol).

What's the best price you can get the P&T Vibe and double kit and where should I be looking online?

Do you jog with your Vibe and how do you find it?

How easy is it to fold down with the double kit on?

I'm in two minds re getting the peanut for a newborn but then that making the double part redundant (have I got that right?) So my other option would be a MB side by side, is that right?

I feel like I am going round and round in circles on this one!

Nope not yet Bellasmum - hoping to be by early 2010 though!

Thanks for the MB tip, will keep an eye out for that too.

Thanks weegee! I haven't had much luck with the search function recently but need to have a good luck tomorrow when C is having a nap (instead of now when I'm sposed to be cooking tea

Hi, definately do your research!!! I brought a 3 wheeler pram and the capsule clipped into the top, also got the toddler seat with this one - great when they 1st a new born, however it was SO hard to get in and out of the car so I used for 1st year a snap and go, then I still can't believe this - we decided about two months ago to go get a Phil & Ted's with the toddler seat - for when number two comes ... eeeee it never got outside the door - decided it wasn't any better than the original one and we decided the non Phil & Teds was better because the capsule would snap into it, so I brought a 3rd pram (stroller) after selling the Phil & Teds at a small lost on TM - just thought I'd share my story with you so it doesn't end up a costly mistake for you!

We have a Vibe, its super easy to collapse (more so than our MB). Release two locks and fold .. viola probably takes 30 seconds.

Its kind of a pain to run with as your one hand naturally wants to rest in the middle of the handle, but it cant because the brake is there.

We got ours at baby city using the discount voucher in the bounty book and got it for under 800.00, but it pays to look around.

The peanut would make the double kit redundant if you want a bassinette for the nb, you would need a side by side mb.

We have a side by side mb and I love it, its super maneuverable and its easy to access BOTH kids (the P&T in newborn mode its a pita to get to the nb).

Now Elias is a little older, we use the p&t more, but the back seat doesnt recline far enough for him to sleep, so if its a long walk we use the double mb.

No, the heavier child sits above the lighter one, otherwise the pram wont stay grounded, it would topple backwards.

Also im not sure there would be enough room for a toddler to sit underneath the bassinet, even in toddler toddler mode the front seat needs to be pretty upright.

Hence the reason in newborn mode the toddler sits on top of the frame of the pram.

Ahhhhh so much to think about

Unfortunately I don't think my DH will go for TWO new prams, otherwise I would be getting both the P&T and the MB (LF you are my hero lol).

I love the Vibe and I want it NOW. Guess how much it is in the shops here (Singapore). $1099. If I want the double kit that's another $200 thank you very much. I would happily get the graffiti one for that much of a discount! But I still have to work out how to get it over here

Yup we went for the graffitti (but dash) as it was sooo much cheaper! I dont like the graffiti but I cant see it when I am pushing it around LOL.

I love it, its fantastic and they fold super quick, like lilfatty said about 30 secs... if that!

Got any fam coming over soon???? I might need to help lilfatty carry it

You cant see the insert with the child sitting on it anyway.

We also have sleeping bags in ours .. so it wouldnt really matter what color insert is in it (we have red though, as im sure it makes the Vibe "go faster") lol

We have the dash Graffiti, I love it. I had a whole table of where it was cheapest....etc. It worked out sheapest to get it from baby safe cause they have a store her in hamilton and I got a $30 credit when you spend over $50 so I got the rain cover for cheap to. I did a whole bunch of research. Try either of th kiwibaby's or babysafe and babystuff for the vibe.
