I’ve put a copy of one of the reviews here which I haven’t changed, good or bad!
By     J. M. Elbers

We love to travel and did not want this to become a huge issue so we decided to purchase the P&T’s stroller. It collapses in seconds. My honey wanted a jogger and another stroller for an urban setting. I wanted something that would do both, because I did not want to go through the expense of purchasing two strollers and having to decide when to take which stroller, etc. The only minus is that when lowering the seat for a sleeping child, the pulls for the zipper can easily break so you have to remember to lower it prior to putting the child in it, raise the child slightly so the fabric is loose, or not to lower it. Ours broke and this section was easily exchanged at no cost with no questions asked.

All terrain pushchairs come with 3 wheels with pneumatic tyres that are designed to cope with all kinds of terrains as well as pavements.  Although a relatively new concept, they are roughly based on a mountain bike. They use chunky tyres with added suspension to the chair frame to provide more comfort for the child and to provide better manageability across rough and/or bumpy terrains.

You don’t need this type of stroller unless you regularly intend to walk with your child along the beach or muddy country tracks etc.

Instep Jogging Stroller

You may also find all terrain strollers lighter and easier to use if you intend to jog while pushing a stroller, but all terrain pushchairs are not fundamentally jogging strollers. For instance, one difference you will see is the size of the tyres, jogging strollers tend can have up to 20inch wheels that the Phil and Teds Strollers do not have! As an example, see the Instep Jogging Stroller that has 16inch wheels and a very light and manageable frame.

Firstly you should know that Phil and Teds products are popular across the globe and that sort of success does not arrive without a good reason.  To put it simply, the products are good, safe, reliable and pleasing to the eye. So let me expand a little because these strollers are not cheap! However, I’m sure you have come across the phrase, “you get what you pay for” as well.

Phil and Teds Classic

The main ranges that that Phil and Ted produce are the Sport, Vibe, Classic and Dash strollers. One of the really good things about Phil and Teds Strollers is that if you buy a single stroller and need a double later (often the case!), instead of buying a whole new stroller you can just buy an easy to fit doubles kit for that particular model. Certainly saves you money then and a lot less hassle. The only downside of that is you will lose some of the otherwise good storage space although this is perhaps not surprising.

Other articles on this site address the individual models but in general, the Phil and Ted strollers are solid but lightweight and give a smooth ride for baby. Storage is excellent and the front wheel is lockable which makes for good manoeuvrability. When you get your stroller, you will find it easy to assemble and it will fold down surprisingly small enough for most cars. The adaptability of these strollers is very good, but there are a couple of things you should consider. You will find them difficult to fold one-handed and the extras can be expensive although they are easy to fit.

The general consensus of most reviews appears to be that Phil and Teds strollers are a good long lasting purchase.

Customising your stroller is actually quite a fun thing to do and there are several ways you can do this. Buy or recover a sun parasol in some snazzy fabric and decorate it how you please, but do be careful if there are any loose bits that baby can’t get hold of them. You can also put those wonderful LCD lights in the wheels so you can be seen more easily if you are often out in the dark. If you are really artistic, jazz up the covers with some waterproof (you may be out in the rain!) paints.

A great way to make your stroller individual is to have a customised name plate for it! Not well known, but for around $12 you can choose from several designs or send your own image in. Just add the name and this little 3 x 9 reflective badge will make your stroller stand out from the rest! There are others on the market for a lot more ($40 plus), but you can get the cheaper versions on Ebay.

I’m sure there are plenty more things you can think of to decorate your stroller, but do keep in mind how the buggy functions and safety as they must be your primary concern. I look forward to seeing a few Phil and Teds strollers out there with personalities of their own rather than them just being a fashion accessory!

Phil and Teds stroller Sport v2

the days when it was simply a choice of perhaps two, now there are hundreds around. So how do you choose? I expect you, like me, will consider safety as your primary concern followed closely by comfort.

Baby strollers need to lock automatically when opened and should be easy to put up and down, preferably this should be a one-handed operation as you will normally be holding baby at the time. Always check the brakes; these should perhaps be easier to put on than to take off. A good accessory as a backup for the brakes (or you forgetting to put them on!) is a wrist-strap. This attaches you to the stroller and a couple of good uses for this including if you fall, the stroller won’t run away from you should you let go of it.

If you have a car, how easy is it to get your chosen stroller in and out. If you have a smaller car, there is no point buying a stroller that you will have difficulty fitting in as you’ll have a lot more luggage with baby! If you are going to be lifting the stroller frequently, consider the construction material and the weight.  You need to consider some of the little things like storage. You probably know that storage is really useful for shopping etc., and pockets and trays are pretty handy. A tray for baby for their drink and perhaps stick-on toys will help keep your young one amused.

One concern that a lot of new mothers tend to forget is the handle-bar height. If you forget this one, you could end up with a bad back so particularly if you are above or below an average height that up make sure the handle-bar height is adjustable.

Next, what type of stroller do you want? Just a basic stroller as you may not use it much, a jogging stroller so you can get fit with baby, an all terrain model if you tend go hiking or similar, 3 wheels or 4, do you want to buy a complete travel system to begin with or a stroller that has a compatible range of say car seats that you can add to should one part become damaged. Do you have a favourite brand or want a status symbol stroller that everyone will know how much you paid for it!!

You may have guessed by this site that we prefer Phil and Teds Stroller, but there is a lot to consider before you buy and a lot of money to pay out, so think carefully, do your research and choose wisely.
