If I was gonna get a new buggy I would get the P&T sport or dash. Just cos they are newer models than our e3 (which we love) and they have heaps of subtle improvements.
The only thing we find annoying is that the angle of the tyre valves makes it pretty awkward to pump up the tyres, and also the fabric down one of the bars at the front has worn through from where a metal part pushes against it when it folds down- I have seen that other e3 buggys on TM have the same problem with wearing of the fabric in that point. Im hoping that I can get it fixed. We have used this buggy for 2 1/2 years and still use it at least weekly and still love it. Have never felt the need to buy a umberella stroller or similar even now hat Isla is older, as the P&T is light and easy to put up and down. We also got the doubles kit at the same time, and although are having our kids further apart than we originally planned when we got the buggy, we have used the double kit lots for friends kids, and will still use it when #2 is born for Isla if we are out for a long time. Very happy with our investment, lol! |

We have a Vibe, basically because it was the prettiest lol .. no not really (well I did think it was the prettiest, however that wasnt THE reason we went with that model).
I didnt like the sport brake being a foot brake .. and it was hard. I didnt like the way i needed to use two hands to get the brake on the dash to work ... i thought that was just a stupid idea lol. FYI the Vibe brake is on the handlebar in the centre .. however my DH thinks that is a stupid place as its where you tend to put your hand naturally when you run, so he is forever putting the brake on, i however am not that sporty .. so its not an issue for me Also P&T seem to be designing "around"the Vibe and are bringing out lots of additional accessories based on it. Oh and did i mention it was cute  ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

ok so due to price we went for the the classic could not see alot of a differnece's (hope I don't regret it) . It is ordered and should have it in 2 week's it better be exactly what i want cause DH has said I am and I quote"NEVER alowed to get a new buggy not even a secondhand one again". Oh I just hate the waiting. and funny Janine all your talk about the P&T over there year's convinced me I never liked them until you be came their oh baby spoke person lol.
thank's for all the advice. -------------

lol i understand! you just cant go past a good vaccum cleaner!!!! im a freak about clean carpet! lol my vacum is even my fav colour! lol (lime green).
bit late to answer now but nevermind!, we have the P&T dash. Did have the sport but sold it to upgrade. my biggest gripe with it was the hopelessly sticky foot brake!!!! which from what i can recall from playing with kellz pram - the classics didnt seem to have this prob which was good!!! I was comparing my pram to my cousins vibe the other day and i found the vibe to be a bit bulkier than dash - bulky handle and frame and tyres but i must say it actually did look quite pretty
