DD is 3.3 and still v comfy in her Mountain Buggy Urban. You can recline it almost flat. She is small for her age though (9th centile for height) You can get them quite cheaply second hand as they aren't as trendy as they used to be.

My DD is nearly 5 and still in P&Ts. There does seem to be a problem with the zips: I know loads of people whose zips have broken. We took ours back to the shop and theyyy sent a new one.

Hey guys, I am going to get a new Phil&Tes today, I love them, think they r great, but the zips are a nightmare, ths better not happen with my new one, hw do u avoid ths happening with the zips Cktwo?

Dunno. I just get anew one sent from the shop. They don't charge wink!

Also I found that as DD1 got bigger I didn't need to lay her back so I pretty much leave the zips alone now

Hey, so u think it is worth taking my P&T's buggy back to the shop? Only got it in May, June this year.

But don't have receipt anymore, was bought over the internet but was a store in Glasgow so they will have a record of it.

I went and stupidly bought another one today(altho I love itgrin)!!

I had apple green P&T's Sport before, and bought the red one today, they r great buggies though aren't they?

Think I will take your advice and leave the zips well alone, does yr LO have Sn's too? If you don't mind me asking xx

I would get new zips for the old one and sell it maybe if you want to keep the new one?

Hey nappyaddict yeah I am gonna take buggy back over weekend I think, but surely can't have two of them lol? x
