OK - i know i should probably post this in product reviews but i kind of need an answer within 24 hours or so.. .
I have been looking around for prams that take a toddler seat and went to a certain local baby store today. I test drove a Phil and Teds classic and am somewhat smitten.( I have only had cheapy prams before and didn't know what i was missing.) I have been quoted a price of $700 for the buggy, toddler seat and rain and sun covers. They said they would hold the price till tomorrow for me to sleep on it. Is this a good deal and do they tend to hold their price well so when we come to sell we can still get something back? cheers edit for typos ------------- |

Are the sun and rain covers both doubles? If so I think it is a good price. They are around $60 each unless you can find them second hand. When I was looking for options - and checking second hand versus new, Phil and Teds seemed to do well which was why I bought new in the end. That was about a year and a half ago, but it was the reason I bought new - I figured I would be able to sell it later at a really good price. |

I would think that's a pretty standard price for the classic... most online places seem to have it for $499 single, $599 double + extras... There was a few places with good specials on before xmas - like Smiths City had the Sports model for $529 + extras, and Baby Universe had the Dash double pretty cheap too... Have you looked around online? ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

thanks - may go and check out Smiths then before making a decision - didn't know they did them!
the sun and rain covers were doubles I have looked online, and the buggy price seems to be similar but can't see anyway doing a bundle of the the toddler seat and extras as a special deal. Hmm - so much money! though i think it should improve the quality of my life. Just have to run it past DH yet  ------------- |

when I got my first P&T I got it from here http://www.winkalotts.co.nz/Brands_L_to_R/Phil&Teds/cd/phil&teds_Double_Classic_Buggy_-_NEW_MODEL.html - winkalotts ..
I would look around as there are always specials that come up. Not sure where you are but Kiwibaby in Auckland often have good sales, I got my second one from them. http://kiwibaby.com/Home_Page.php - kiwibaby I sold my P&T E3V2 double for a good price on TM & when I sold my Sports one with double kit, covers, bags, lazy ted, & a few other accessories I got $900+ for it, it was in great condition & was used as a car basically 5 days a week in good & bad weather. Few things I sold separate like the cocoon I got all my money back on as I bought it on sale. I think if you can spend the money on a good pram & it is a model that resells well in NZ like P&T or MB then you will get a big part of your money back if looked after. Also you don't need to buy everything at once. You could get the single pram to use now & get the other bits later. |

Susie, we have the Sport... lots of people told us it was better than the Classic.
It's on special here: http://www.winkalotts.co.nz/default.aspx?T=213&P=1572 |

Sounds average, most are selling them for $400 single that I have seen minus accessories. Covers sell for about $60 each and not sure on the toddler seats though, but they're great because you can get a part for them to make them a bouncer too! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Oops just gone and given my old flexible friend a battering at winkalots. Got a Dash, doubles kit and double sun and rain covers for $750. Quite excited about it though - i dont often get myself nice new luxuries like this! ------------- |
