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

Hi. The raincover is pretty much on or off but you can fold it up over the hood out of the way at the front and the back has a section you can roll/fold up which then velcros out of the way. Hope that makes sense!

To recline the main seat there is a strap across the back which unclips and slides into whichever position you want. This is all I use for my DD2 daytime nap but there are also zips to get it to completely flat.

I had a Sport I hated & this is so much better. The brake is much easier to use and I was concerned about knocking it by mistake but that hasn't happened yet!

I haven't bought cosy toes as I didn't like the last ones I had & I've got plenty of universal ones kicking about..

My little ones are the true test and they've both said they like it & climb back in it. I'm thinking it's money well spent!!

I am delerious with excitement about getting mine - it should be here next week!

I have to say I think my older V2 is better than the Sport in many areas, a number of friends have the sport and have had lots of issues.
This vibe looks lovely. But I'm definitely not allowed any more prams!

I was very excited too ! I was hounding the shop every few days especially once I heard the first shipment had landed!!

I'm pleased I ignored the negative reviews I'd read as I haven't had issues with anything other than the clips locking but that doesn't worry me.

Clips locking?

Waytmi · 17/05/2008 00:14

When you fold it to lock it. Sorry!

Thankyouandgoodnight · 17/05/2008 12:05

Oh - what happens? Are they a bit fragile? I must warn DH as he is very heavy handed and they would bust on first fold....!

Waytmi · 17/05/2008 12:49

In the shop they couldn't shut them & Out n About were shut so they couldn't check if it was ok to force them. They were meant to find out and let me know and haven't..

I think they do shut but are very stiff at first. And if the pushchair isn't folded enough they will snap so I don't want to risk this happening. (At least not til I know I would get a replacement easily!!!)

I've been using the wrist strap tied round the frame to hold it shut...

Thankyouandgoodnight · 17/05/2008 13:56

That doesn't sound great but the if you're going to use the wrist strap, you may as well risk trying the clips and if they snap, then using the wrist strap ?

Where would you get the replacement clips from?

Waytmi · 17/05/2008 14:58

If the pushchair broke I would expect it to be replaced or repaired under warranty but as there aren't many spare about at the moment I don't want to risk it just yet.

Also, I use it every day for the school run & DD2s naps so I've actually not really needed to fold it much yet.

The clips that lock it are the same ones that have to be released to fold it and the shop said they are always stiff to begin with. It's really not an issue to me...
I'm still loving it!!!! [saddo expression!]

If it's like the v2 push and pull clips, you may need to turn them so they are in the right position. I've never been very good at folding our P&T, it mainly stands in the hall and we take the micralite out in the car, or DH sorts it!

I soo want a vibe...i love the look and seen that you can get pink and blue liners on ebay too... just a bit worried that the back seat is too small for a toddler? is worth the extra pennies? if not i think im just going to go for the sport in pink camo lol.. i love pink lol... Im wandering how well you guys are getting with your's? xx
