Can anyone review a Phil and Teds Dash for me?

Still trying to make a final double pushchair decision and am down to the Vibe and Dash. Have read reviews of the Vibe (both good and bad) but can't find any of the Dash and would like some if you can spare me the time. Thanks.

Woulda nipper side by side fit through your front door they are quite narrow.

I had a sport on which the back rest clip broke within 5 weeks, the shop replaced it for a new one, the front wheel connector broke on that when I took it out of the box!!

Undeterred I bought a Vibe. I loved the look of it, so sleek, so padded so comfy etc! I loved pushing it with no children in. Then factor in children... The front harness did up right between the child's legs which I was not happy with; the straps were very short on both the front and rear seats; the lay back mechanism was awkward to do with a child leaning on it; it was harder to push, especially with the second seat on top; doesn't have such great manoeuvrability as the sport; the second seat is so short that my 8 month old (size of 5 month old) was too tall to use the recline option; the hood kept blowing forward in the wind as it doesn't clip to back, the waterproof had such a fiddly thin velcro strip that had to be lined up perfectly to fasten (sport's is much wider); the second seat really a pain in the neck to clip on and off; kept clicking the brakes on when pushing one handed...

I stuck it out for 4 months to justify paying all that money and then sold it on and bought another sport which I have had no problems with.

Recently I've been thinking about upgrading to the dash though... (which is what bought me to this page in the first place, lol!)

hehe and I've just noticed how old this thread was, guessing you'll have bought one by now... Ah well the review will last for anybody else doing a search...
