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!
