Do Skip Hop saddle bags fit phil & ted's buggy?

We've recently got a P&T sport (and new baby to go in it...) and now trying to get my head around nappy/shopping bags to use with it. Has anyone succesfully used skip hop saddle bags? They look more compact and nicer than P&T panniers?

Am currently using P&T in newborn + toddler mode, and coping with bottom tray (though hard to access) plus buggy clips plus old change bag hanging as low as poss at back, but the change bag in particular not a great solution, as previously discussed on MN. The rain cover takes up an enormous amount of space stashed in bottom tray - any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks!

I've just got a skip hop duo hanging change bag to hang over the handle of mine. Agreed that change bags are not ideal, but didn't want pannniers as they make the buggy wider and tend to obscure the view for the child in the back seat (if they are little - less than say 2 years or so!).

I looked at the phil & teds diddy change bag (the new one out for the vibe) before deciding that this is a fair bit bulkier than the skip hop bag so went for that instead as it knocks off my knees less!

Thanks tinseltot. Anyone else?

I have a skip hop dash which just fits when hanging - it is slightly shorter than the duo. I agree the p&t panniers leave a lot to be desired (busy rethinking their design now)

I've a skip hop saddle bag and can get it to fit on all of my pams in different positions. Not got a phil and ted but it fits across the handle of ny emmaljunga pram, on the side arm of the loola, on the side low down on a maclaren and a chicco buggy. I've not found a pram I can't fit it on. Saddle bag is a small bag, enough for few nappies, wipes change of clothes and one bottle. the three straps offer lots of different ways to attach it

hope this helps

Yes they do and they are fab. I have one each side of my Phil and Teds and they don't stick out much further than the wheels either. Bit fiddly to attach using the velcro when the toddler seat is at the front but I quite often just hook the carry handle of over the elbow joints instead anyway.
