Phil & Teds Vibe

The vibe was amazing when i first had my n/b dd and 11mnth ds, however now they are nearly 1 and 2 years old it is very heavy to push and steer,It is heavy when lifting into the boot of a car and takes up a lot of space no good if you have a small car!!! Have now bought a mclaren techno twin for going out on walks!! However will keep the vibe for shopping as it is great for getting thru shop doorways, aisles!

I took this one for a spin and found that my 19 month old daughter is already too tell for the toddler seat. We had her on the front as we are expecting baby 2 and he will be at the back, flat.

The toddlers seat can go up and down to accomodate extra long legs but the hard sticky out bit at the top of the toddlers seat is right in the middle of the back of my daughters head. She is far too young to walk everywhere I want to go which is why we need a double. Phil and Teds have failed to consider the taller customer!

For a double buggy it is a huge improvement on any side by side and this is by far the nicest looking double I have seen.

I do love this buggy, it is easy to steer, get up or down kerbs, through doorways and narrow shop aisles.

The only bad points I have found are the brakes can be a bit difficult to release at times and also can be too easy to put on my mistake due to the position of them.

The front seat straps don't seem to be long enough when toddler gets a bit older meaning they can't be secured properly.

The back seat has a recline on it but again when baby gets to about 6 months it is useless as the bar on the top of the seat means they get too tall for it to be reclined.

In spite of all these faults though I still love it and think it is well worth the money.

i used to like this but as i have now had two where the chassis has sheared at the frame. I no longer am impressed. It has some features that i really like though - it's roomier than the sport, the brake in the handlebar is good and they've improved the shape of handlebar as well. The front wheel has a tendency to buckle and the tyres wear thin very easily. For an expensive bit of kit i wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Have owned a vibe for almost a year and absolutely love it.

Its absolutely true what people say about needing to take thw wheels off and lubricate with pledge every now and again and also needing to pump the tyres up every now and again... however in my opion its a small price to pay for a brilliant buggy.

IT looks amazing and works well as long as you have pumped and lubricated.

The only other prestigious alternatives are the Bugaboo and this looks like a wheelchair, only fits one child and has solid wheels that wont let you go up even the smallest of curbs.

Woth the money... ignore the moaners!
