Love try it Not sure about it,never got to try it out yet.love to instead of carrying my baby please.

This stroller just seems weird to me. Why would a child want to sit in the back of the stroller at the bottom with nothing to look at but the back of the front seat? And it doesn't look like there is enough room back there either... it just doesn't make sense to put the child at the bottom in the back...

This is not a product that I would purchase. Looks like it would be uncomfortable for the children and they can't interact

Phil and Teds Vibe Stroller Its nice to look at and easy to use, I have heard a few things from some people, there are 3 colors to choose from, Black, Red and Cobalt, nice colors but maybe add Pink, Purple, Gray, or Green. It is comfortable, has safety straps, that are adjustable as the baby grows, it is washable and comfortable for infant and toddler, there are a few glitches, it is for some hard to fold, wheels wear out easily and are expensive to replace, when a toddler is placed in the back the front wheel is hard to navicate.Phil and Teds

2 years ago my daughter had twins, Austin & Catherine, the absolute lights of my life. I thought I would buy this stroller to keep in my home since I would be watching the children when my daughter returned back to work after maternity leave. I've now had it for 2 years, and it's far from perfection, to say the least. The jump seat has short headroom - I pushed the inside so the headroom is on top of the bar so that it still fits my 2 year old grandson, even though that makes it recline less. I am not pleased with the balance on hills - I cannot push it down a moderately steep hill b/c in order to slow it I pull back on the handle and it tips backwards. I would not use it in a hilly city and I avoid hills in my city. I think a hand 'slowdown' mechanism would help here like a bike brake. A problem that many people have is the front wheel. I have had this stroller and my Maclaren repaired at the same shop, and they are very experienced in stroller repair. They have replaced the front wheel of my Vibe because it was badly bent at the attachment point. I have flown with it (the travel bag needs to be bigger too), but they say that has happened to other people just because they have had the wheel at a bad angle when they folded it. This is very easy to do - I cannot tell what a "good" angle is. I saw another mother pushing her Vibe the other day and I mentioned this to her b/c I could see hers had the same problem - if you look at it from the front, you can see when the front wheel is straight forward that it has a sideways angle. Mine just stuck and wouldn't push anymore when it got too bent. They need a stronger wheel attachment. It gets a big workout with 75 lbs of kid in it. It does the job but would do it better with these improvements. The kids love riding in it though.

I bought the Phil and Ted's double Vibe stroller because I didn't want a double stroller that was wide. The Phil and Ted's double is a tandem, front/back double. the idea is great and it's not a bad stroller, but here are my issues with it: 1) It's hard to steer. This stroller is definitely not a one-handed pusher. It takes both hands and a good amount of steering power to maneuver this guy. For marketing itself as an "all terrain" stroller, it has problems going on anything but pavement. It's just too "delicate" seeming. 2) They seem to have some flaw in their tires. Several of my friends also have various versions of the Phil and Ted's double and at least one of them always has a flat tire. Always. 3) The folding down of the stroller is cumbersome and bulky. I've thrown my back out doing it, so now I've taken to just heaving it up into the back of my SUV. 4)The front wheel has a habit of wobbling badly if I go from a walk to a jog. That's annoying. If there were another similar option out there, I'd explore it. I used to have a Bob and I LOVED it. I wish the BoB had a double version like the Phil and Ted's doubles because I would buy it in a heartbeat.

This was okay until the wheel messed up. It was still under warranty when I started contacting Phil and Ted and kept getting passed around, needing to find a distributer in US. When I finally did, they told me it wasn't under warranty, only to find out later that it had, in fact, still been under warranty. HORRIBLE customer service. Not the greatest quality for the price. I wish I had had a regular double stroller that cost half as much as this had.

Just a stroller....May need shock support

SURE CRAFTY DESIGN, BUT HARD TO MANEVOR AROUND CROWDED PLACES, ALSO HAD A HARD TIME WITH ASSEMBLY, BUT OVERALL A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE

Convenient, but keeping an older sibling in the coach without being able to see ahead, spells PROBLEM. They never stay occupied long enough. Seat needs to be moved to front perhaps.

Do not like at all. Poor child seating in the bace cant see anything

Out of all the double strollers I could find, I liked the Phil & Teds the best. It's not as wide as a side by side, not as long as a tandem, andsuper easy to steer! I didn't have any problems with the tires. It can be a bit bulky to fold and lug into the car, but so are other double strollers. While it could be better, I still feel it's the best double stroller available.

This looks super expensive, but I love the fact that my 5 year old and 2 year old could use this

Very good item to have for the active mom. My mom had this and I would use it every time I wanted to go for a walk with my kids. Very comfortable and very easy to use.

We felt this was the best choice for a double stroller for our family. I needed a double stroller but did not want a wide stroller nor did I want one of the long double strollers either. The stroller is really well made and we had a little trouble with the frame and they quickly sent us out a replacement. Their customer service can not be beat by any other company - they are the best. There are a few points to consider when thinking of this stroller: 1) this is not an easy stroller to manuver and it requires 2 hands to do so. 2) this is a heavy stroller and can be difficult to pick-up if you are small and it seems as if you need an SUV to fit it in. 3)be careful with the red brake button - it really stops the stroller fast (which is a blessing if you need it). The style surpasses any negative out there and beats a BOB or any other pricey stroller any day of the week.
