Phil n teds! How much? Where from?

[lunavix]

So I think I'm converted...

Main attraction for us is downsizing - we can get the phil n teds and use it as a three wheeler and a double therefore selling current single 3 wheeler and marco sky.

But where do I get it from? Are there -gasp- shops in the UK that sell it or is it strictly online only ?

And (deep breath) how much am I going to pay?

Had a quick nose on ebay, 'lightly used' ones are going (with doubles kit) for about £285, new singles for the same, but I'm fussy and they're in red which I don't like!

Also what do I need? Want it for two toddlers atm, BUT we're planning a second baby asap. Should I just get the baby bits now? Will they definately be available in the future??

sweetkitty, tell your dp that qa standard good double with raincover etc cost £200l, this one with raincover and 2nd seat costs 350, but you can use it for so much longer and it holds it value well.

Think it's suitable from 6 months, Misdee, which means no good for me

The Cosatto Duo (I think) is suitable from birth though.

get an e3 HM lol.

Turning circle in my hall may prevent me from that (isn't a hall - is a lobby, about three feet square...!). Am thinking we ought to move house... DH SO pleased...!

HM - you following me around threads tonight I think I'm sad I'm obsessed with double buggies, keep eyeing them up on the street (wonder how I've not been arrested yet)

Thanks, Lockets. Still not much good unless I don't go out for two months after DB is born!

Sweetkitty

it can turn easily. can turn it in my hall as it just spins.

My hall is has stairs a door's width into it, the wall to the right and the door to the front room to the left. It is literally a patch of floor.

what colour you getting HM???

LOL SK! Not sure I am yet... Have to convince DH it's a good idea to spend that much on a second...hang on, third...pushchair! Actually, have to convince myself first!

its a good idea!!

thing is, i need a smaller one for my parents car, so i have got a zapp on the way

whats a zapp? post a link misdee

me too HM this will be pushchair number 3 for me too, bought a graco deluxe travel system for DD but felt it was too big so have got a Maclaren Techno XT which I love.

they do hold their value though - have a look on ebay at 2nd hand ones

just spend AGES looking at doubles on the net.... like the look of the cossatto duo.... but like the marco too..... confused now. Cost is a big thing as cant afford silly amounts on a buggy.

zapp is a single pushchair, which can be used with my sisters car seat to make a travel system. will behandy for hospital, taxi's etc as no-one driving atm. zapp

have seen these before pretty mad looking

i like things mad looking lol. but i alsop wanted something small.

Sweetkitty deffo recomend E3. I vowed never to own a double buggy and managed it between one and two, but number 3 was a bit sooner than intended, and DD couldn't walk when he was born so had no choice.

i love the look of the E3

It seems to do everything i want it to do - my only concern is that the when baby goes into the toddler seat it can't lie down - has any one found this a problem?

bump

...

I have owned the marco sky and now have the phil and ted e3 (the marco sky snapped in half!!!) i would say from experiencing both the phil and ted is by far superior, its lighter and folds down easier, Its much better on grass on bumpy terrain. Plus its eaier to get in the car as its not as long as the Marco sky which is not very small when folded.
The only problem with the phil and ted is the back seat does not lean back although i solved this problem with a neck pillow, ( although a reclining version of the second seat is available now)
I do not find the phil and ted heavy at all and not a problem to get in to cars etc
