The sport is better if you live in urban areas. We got the sport coz we live semi rural and it was more rugged for where we are. It does the toddler seat too

I think it was a bad review...didn't give each of the buggies enough time to show there good and bad points. Plus what did the base the overall winner on?
The mums first choice was the MB...so why was Phil and Teds the overall winnder...was it because they were slightly cheaper? Had more accessories?
DH and I are having discussions on this at he moment but we are looking for a double buggy. DH wants the P&T's and I want the MB so we were both keen to watch it. DH was very happy with P&T's being the overall winner but I also think that the mothers rated MB as there winner so that has to also count as something. So really, hasn't helped us at all

linda, even though Im a P&T convert, if I was going to get an actual double buggy (as opposed to an inline), I would go for the MB.
They are slightly bigger but they just seem more sturdy to me (and they look awesomely comfy for the babies lol).
As our kiddies will have a year and a half between them an inline suits us perfectly and hence sticking with the P&T as MB dont do a kiddie seat.

I was dissapointed with it. I would have liked to have seen some 4 wheelers on there as well. Also there was no mention of size when folded down, ease of putting it up and taking down i think they touched briefly on one model witht he taking down.
I understand that p & t are planning on bringing out a 4 wheel one (not the twin one).
In regards to p & T i would like to know how well they last i.e. have bub number 1 followed by number 2 18months-2 years later use the buggy for both will it last the length of time needed i am guessing until say youngest is 4 maybe 5 depending on so thats 7 years.

I have looked at all the buggys mentioned and out of all of them liked the Babyjogger city classic the best, I thought it compared better with the others reviewed than the city elite. I have found in the past the size and shape of buggys folded up for me is a big issue, at 5'2 lifting them in and out of cars can be hard. they are all pretty much a muchness when you are using them though. So I am still confused and have no idea what Im going to buy!

omg did you see the buggy that tipped back scary stuff.
I reakon that the only thing wrog with the sport in the brake, i dont have one but am getting one for #2, if you have issue with the brake get a dash they are mostly the same. i hardly use the brake on my buggy now so its not an issue, and that apple green graffti MMMMMMM
i had a push of a old mountain buggy today, i admit i did like it as it was very light and the handle was low down compared to my buggy (a crappy one form BC) and im a shorty so that matters.
