Phil & Ted Vibe double puschair

[Hilarys]

Does anyone know where I can see the new Phil & Ted Vibe pushchair?

here

I wanted to see one in the flesh!

oh

Somebody told me that there is a baby shop in Fleet, Hampshire, that has one but it's too far to travel

Are they meant to be loads better than the sport does anyone know

Yes - lighter, folds with doubles kit in place, hand brake...

I ordered mine on Friday. It was the last one not reserved in Black/Charcoal due at the end of the month.

I tried a Sport but sent it back so really hoping this is worth the extra money..

I'm thinking I should become a double buggy tester the amount I've had now.

Thank goodness for Ebay!!!!

Waytmi, can you please come back and report fully and frankly? Am dying for news on the Vibe.

Of course! Would be my pleasure.

(Just trying to find a way to tell DH I've ordered one...)

ooh where did you order it from and what extras did you get??

..and why did you send the Sport back??

Got it from Great Expectations in Brighton. Ordered Doubles kit, double storm cover and thing that goes in basket! (base bag?) Makes it easier to remove contents of basket in one hit as you fold double seat on back into basket to collapse.

As for Sport... well, I already have a Mutsy with duo seat which is brilliant to push and in comparison to that the Sport felt awful and at that point I had to walk along a narrow lane to school and it kept going into the road!

I hated the metal bar showing when you reclined the back seat and my DD2 kept banging her head.

She kept undoing the zips which meant the top seat reclined onto her head

I found the harnesses on the seats fiddly to do up as they weren't like normal car seat/buggy harnesses. I probably could've handled one like it but having to do 2 and with the one in the back being awkward to get to it made it a PITA.

These things have all been rectified on the new Vibe tho' I have to say I'm still a little anxious, especially as I'm still keeping it a secret!!!

oh I really fancy one of these too

was looking at the vibe and icandy pear as really want a double that can be used as a single when dd2 is up a bit and dc3 still needs pram

Thanks Waytmi!! I have found their website but can't find the vibe stuff on it - can I be really rude and ask how much you paid for all of that (hoping your DP isn't reading this of course . Good thought about the web bag if you have to empty it to fold it - very good thinking indeed.

Also - on the web I've found the red/black and charcoal/black and curiously black/silver in some places though not on the main P&T website - is the black/silver the same as the charcoal/black does anyone know??

No prob. I've assumed that silver is same as charcoal but don't know for sure. I looked up my local P&T stockists and rang Great Expectations rather than doing it online.

Originally I was ordering from Lily May I think? But then I called them as their website said end of April but I wanted to double check.

So glad I did!!! Website apparently well out of date (very conveniently...) All their first 2 shipments already sold & none available til June or even July!

I've paid a deposit of £100 with balance of £399 left.

HTH

and herevibe

That is very helpful - I ended up on the Lily wotsit site too!

Are you going to bother with a cocoon and does Gt Expectations do the black & charcoal do you happen to know? I will phone them tomorrow I think!

I am brimming with excitement.

Thanks dizzy for the photo links!

Hi, just to let you know I picked it up at the beginning of the week. It's actually black/black. Very stylish!!

My husband has offered to move out of our bed so I can sleep with it as he thinks I'm in love with it!!!

I'm using it in toddler/toddler mode and finding it great.

If anyone wants to ask anything fire away!!

BTW my SKIP*HOP Via changing bag looks great with it in black with a red label [saddo expression]

It also hangs just below the back of the rear seat so doesn't get in the way. I've also got a SKIP*HOP bottle bag to match which clips to the side. Could put one either side except they cost a lot!!

Happy to answer any questions.....I read multiple reviews & was very wary about spending so much money but SO pleased I did.

Oh dear... I've killed the thread!!!!

No, thanks for coming back, glad to hear you are so pleased

I'm not allowed any more prams, but that looks lovely. Can you put the double seat on top, like the old sort? And how does the second seat raincover work? The p&t site says it has individual zip on rain covers- or is that just the main seat?

The double seat has 2 positions on top. Had to use the double raincover yesterday & it just sits over the top of the whole thing. It's the single one that zips onto the hood.

Glad I hadn't killed the thread for good!!

Saw the other day that someone wasn't happy with theirs so wanted to give another opinion.

No brill thanks for coming back - so is the rain cover either on or off then or can you keep it on but 'up', rather than remove it completely? i.e. nearly on for a swift covering if needs be??

Does it still have zips to recline the main seat or does it have something else?

My friend got a sport and isn't happy with the brake, the amount of recline of the toddler seat in the main upright position, the fact that you unzip to recline the seat...
Did you buy a cosy toes thing?
