Best Stroller for Tall Kids
(08.02.2010)
I did a ton of research before buying this stroller for my two kids. The Phil & Ted was the only stroller that my very tall 4 year old could sit in without her head touching the canopy. She will be 5 in May and still has room to grow!
Great...although...

We own both the Peapod and the Phil&Ted's Traveller Crib. My daughter likes to play in the Peapod but will not go to sleep in it. Maybe when she is a bit older that'll change -she is 23months. I wish the traveller crib had been available sooner The first night my daughter slept in it she complained a little but went to sleep after 5 minutes. I was perplexed by the fact that the instructions tell you that you should place the mattress in between the 2 plastic sheets. I guess because of safety reasons?. But that did not work for us at all. Every time my daughter would move the plastic would make this awful noise and wake her up. Not good. Next day we took the mattress out of in between the plastic sheets and placed the mattress in a regular crib fitted sheet then she slept all through the night. No complaints. Happy toddler! It's a good product that shall last us at least another year. It's not the most intuitive assembly so try it out once before your trip. After that you'll be ready to go and able to assemble it in about 5 minutes.
Great double stroller

This is a great stroller. It is easy to maneuver with the swivel wheels. My children (2 year old and 6 month old) love riding side by side. It is great to lay completely flat when the baby is sleeping. It is easy to get through standard doorways. You don't have to have both doors open, which is great when you are alone with the children. This stroller is extremely well made. Most strollers now have foam wheels, which wear very quickly if you do any type of walking or jogging on asphalt. This one has rubber wheels. It has a sturdy all metal frame, which unfortunately also makes it a little heavy and cumbersome. I have an SUV, and it is quite heavy to lift into the back. It also takes up a lot of space. The wheels are easy to remove, which helps a little. Overall, I am very happy with the stroller. I debated between this one and the single Phil and Teds with the doubles kit, but my husband was very skeptical about having one of our children in the rear seat. He didn't think they would like it because of the restricted view. I certainly didn't want it to be a fight everytime we used the stroller, so we went with this style and both children seem to love it!
Phil & Teds Twin GREAT Stroller!

Pretty heavy to lug in and out of an SUV!!! The bin underneath is not as big as I hoped for but am happy with overall performance. It rides and turns awesome. The kids look way comfy and it actually fits around malls and other places we visit. My daughter is almost three and there is plenty of room to grow. A little pricey but a good long term investment.!
Not what I had hoped given the price

My kids (4 yrs and 11 mos) are comfortable in the stroller, and it is very easy to push as well as maneuver through doorways. However, it is a bit heavy for loading/unloading in the car. I have had the problem another user mentioned with the fabric starting to tear on the underside of the footrest where the wheels rub. It seems that any weight on that footrest will eliminate any clearance between the footrest material and the wheels. The tear has not gone through as of yet, but this shouldn't be happening. I have also had trouble with the snaps that attach the sunshade to the frame pulling out of the frame (actually from part of the handlebar). This has happened twice, but each time I was able to receive a new part from Phil&Ted rather quickly. I do wish the sunshade was either larger or fully adjustable so that the kids were better shielded from the sun here in TX! Phil&Ted's does sell a separate sunshade, but that is another $80 or so I believe. One other thing about sun coverage - when you recline the seats, there is no coverage from the back of the stroller. Again, I do like the stroller, I just had expected fewer problems since it was so expensive.
Worth its weight in Gold!

I love this push chair! I have twins and it is perfect for them.Extremly easy to move, fits through all "normal" door ways and hall ways which is a big plus.Really good for both city and country terrain too. Yes it is a wee bit heavy to load/unload into the car but thats what you expecct for a twin pushchair. My only real negative is that the material stains a bit too easily. But overall highly reccommend the Twin, I'm a very happy customer :)
