O Baby XI tandem

[berniew]

Does anybody have (or has anybody seen/ heard about) the O Baby XI tandem buggy? I have a 21 month old and expecting number 2 in sept and have spotted this on kiddicare. To all intents and purposes it looks very like a phil and ted's but is considerably cheaper. Difficult to make a decision though as it isn't stocked anywhere near us so can't see it in the flesh.

I looked at this and 'test drove' one before I bought my P&T. I was really impressed by it online, until I actually got my hands on one.

It is cheaper, but you really can tell why. It feels flimsy and as I will be using it for quite a while with my two I felt I needed something that would last.

If you need a tandem (ie. not a side by side) and can't afford the P&T or think that it is just going to be needed for a short while then this will do the job. Otherwise, get the P&T.

Thanks little people- that's really helpful. Will keep my eyes peeled on ebay for a P & T I think!

Have to disagree - i have one and absolutley love it. i think its really sturdy A friend has a p&t and thought my obaby was very good. And half the price

I have seen one (whilst out) and they do look very similar to the p&t, its also much cheaper .

It has got good reviews on kiddicare- it's just really difficult when you can't see what it's like in 'real life'. Obviously I'm very tempted because of the price, but i bought a mamas and papas travel system before DS was born and found it very awkward to maneouvre and pretty dissappointing considering the price. Don't want to make another mistake!
Thanks for the advice though...

I took a gamble and ordered it off kiddicare without testing it out first. Paid off for me.
