Mountain buggy swift or phil and teds explorer?

[PetiteMum]

which one is more compact, would you say?

Swift, swift, swift :)

Swift!!!

Hm, is the shopping basket a decent size? Looks v small online! Also, is the quality as good as p+ted?

The shopping basket fits a fair amount in, I dont drive so am always cramming shopping on the bottom of buggies!! I have both the pre 2010 ones and the post 2010 (ie.pre and post the phil and ted takeover).I would say the quality on both versions is fantastic and will last as long as you need it to and then some.I will be selling my pre phil and ted takeover one but only because I am a bit of a label/logo snob and only use the newer versions of everything (sad I know). I generally HATE 3 wheelers and swore Id never had one and then I tried mountain buggys and wouldnt use anything else on rough terrain.Hope that helps a little? :)

Aw thanks shattered mum! Is the customer service good as well? And do the gyres puncture easily? Am seriously considering it to replace my bee plus whih I love but can't handle parks

Ah, I have a bee plus too but agree they're not great for anything other than smooth paths etc. if I were you I would find a second hand bargain swift and keep the bee too as then you have the best of both worlds. The customer service is great yes. Ive had a total of 7 swifts over about the last 3 years (have a problem in that I need to have things in every available colour) and have never had a puncture at all!!! :)

I have just spotted MB do a Breeze which is under haif price on their own website with foot muff etc. I know nothing about the differences but it looked like a bit of a bargain. shop.mountainbuggy.com/index.cfm?tmpl=butikk&a=product_inline&b_id=766291&b_kid=657304

thanks gfn, but I really want it to have the option of a swivel front wheel, which that one doesn't
