When I received the pram, it was damaged and would steer to one side so dramatically it was like pushing a shopping trolley. You cannot contact the company via phone and can only contact via email. The company provided one email response to my warranty claim in 6 months. They finally had someone call me about the claim when I wrote a letter (that… Read more
I emailed to them as a pdf attachment) threatening to go to the ACCC.
I was not at all happy with the customer service response and it caused a lot of stress!
I finally have a new pram and it is working well however there are still a number of issues.
The snack trays don’t fit this pram. The cupholder doesn’t stay together.
The cocoon did not seem safe, I would not recommend purchasing this. The sides of the cocoon kept coming in and I was worried it limited air flow to the new born. We didn’t use it because we were worried about the SIDS risk.
When the pram has the second seat attached you cannot recline either seat. The second seat takes up the entire basket area so you can’t fit a nappy bag I with the second seat on. The second seat is very small and the room available for the person in the second seat isn’t much.
Do not buy this pram! – HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND POOR QUALITY PRAM. After only having the pram for 6 months during that time I have had 3 different parts break, first the basket snapped (the most weight I’d had in there was just a nappy bag), then the front wheel became loose and would shake during runs, then the trigger to fold down the pram became stuck and I… Read more
could no longer fold the pram down. Each time when trying to resolve these issues they were slow to answer and gave no helpful information on how to actually replace the basket or front wheel (you would need tools and I am not a handy person or have tools at my disposal) when the third thing happened (would no longer fold down) I requested a refund due to the poor quality of the pram, they took days to respond in between each email and then just sent me a new frame with no consent from me. I now have extra parts that I do not want/need as it is a a horrible quality pram and not worth the cost. My emails have been ignored when I’ve asked them to not send the new frame and process a refund. Extremely disappointed and disgusted and their lack of customer care.

Robust, easy to manoeuvre, versatile – Robust - We bought our Phil and Ted's Pram in 2006 for my first child, knowing we would have more children and wanting to use the double kit. We used the pram for our three children and my sister is using it for her two children now. Except for some fading on the canopy and footwell and a little wear around the frame, it is still in excellent… Read more
condition. We have changed the inner tubes of the tyres a couple of times after a trip through some prickles but that is the only maintenance it has needed.
Easy to manoeuvre - I find the handling of the pram excellent, both on-road and off-road. It is easy to push over rough ground including sand and grass. The front wheel turns easily.
Versatile - the best thing about this pram is its versatility. I looooved that the main seat folds flat which allows an infant to sleep comfortably flat on their back but also older children up to about three years can sleep lying down if tired or sick. If a sitting child falls asleep in the upright position, the seat can then be fully reclined the flat position easily to allow them to stay asleep. The papoose, which we also bought through P&T, fits easily in this area, which allows you to carry a sleeping baby in and out of the pram without waking. The sleeping area is also very roomy so you can also store quite a lot of kit in there and use the double seat for the child. When we'd finished with the pram, we really missed having a wagon for taking to picnics etc!
In the sleeping area, the baby's head can face toward you when pushing so you can see the baby through the open end, or away from you and use a cloth to provide shade. The canopy is not big enough to cover a baby lying in this position and also doesn't cover a child in the double in front or behind.
the double seat can be attached above the sleeping area or behind if the front child is sitting upright. This lower position allows children to climb in and out easily by themselves. You just have to be careful of tipping if the front child climbs out and there is a child in the back!
With regards to folding, it does take a few practice runs to get a smooth technique but once you know how to do it, it is easy. It is a heavy pram but robust.
On the whole, an excellent pram and I'd buy the same again!
Good pram – I initially didn’t like this pram when I bought it. It has its pros and cons, at the start I gave it a 2 star because it frustrated Me but I made changes to it that improved it a lot more. Initially the lower seat wouldn’t recline and I found it hard to put my baby/toddler to sleep for long, so I replaced it with a seat that reclined. ( I have an… Read more
older version hopefully the new versions give you that option already) The sun viser needed adjusting because it kept falling off but once It was fixed it worked great and I found it easy to push and great for all terrain, also because it’s narrow you have no problems squeezing anywhere. We took this pram to Europe with us and even though my particular one was heavy it was still a great pram to take. I do recommend this pram.
Pros Great to push on all terrain tires Different options from infant to toddler Good accessories that come with it if you want to get them.
Cons Heavy but not sure how the new versions are they may be a lot lighter. A bit fiddly to open and close
Great little jogging pram – Reasons why I bought this stroller: 1. It was relatively light so I could throw it in the car without breaking my back. 2. It folded down to fit into my car with one seat folded down as I drive something the size of a mini cooper and it has zero boot space. Reasons why I liked this stroller: - There are lots of sit up and lay flat options… Read more
which I would use depending on if the little one was tired or needed to go to sleep.
- You can steer it with one hand if you want to which is good if you have to steer a corner and hold the hand of a sibling at the same time.
- Its a pretty smooth ride and can handle grass, cement, road and gravel pretty easily. It hops up and down the curb easily. HOWEVER, if you cop a flat tyre it will be a hard slog up a steep hill.
- It was really easy to get replacement parts for when I blew a tyre tube and when wanted to add a grab bar for the little one to hold onto.
- The unit is easy to clean and you can fit a few bags from woolies underneath without crushing the bread.
- The sun shade and wet weather cover fit really snug and perfectly.
- I bought it with the double kit but didn't really use it as much as I thought I would so in hindsight I might not have bothered.
I bought this in mid 2012 and its still going strong. Recommended :-)

Perfect travel pram – This pram is great. Have been using since my daughter was 8 weeks old as my travel pram. Good price and has all the necessary features. I am quite tall too and the handle bar is a good height. Fits in the luggage compartment on board the plane, no issues. My little girl seems happy and comfortable in the pram. So easy to open up and fold down. Very light! Very happy with my purchase. Show details
Love – So easy to use in single or double mode with good riding options for newborn and toddler. Great to use in town shopping or out and about. Its easy to fold/unfold but is a bit heavy to lift into the car. This pram is the 3 type i have owned and i think it will be my last. I am so happy with it. Show details
Amazing! This buggy has been a life saver! – I bought my Phil and teds sport, second hand, to look at, it had been well used when I bought it. But needed to have a double As a spare. And it has become my main buggy because I love it So much!! We moved to cananda and it is amazing! On all torrain! It handles so well and is so smooth and easy to push. We walk for miles every day and this buggy… Read more
has made it more enjoyable. The second seat is So easy and quick to click on and off. I just wanna thank Phil and teds! Their buggies are obviously very durable! As I said we bought it worn second hand and still not had a problem with it!
Negative reviews
Truly dreadful – I bought the v6 sport because of the high seat back as my son had outgrown his UppaBaby. I was going to say that the Sport is poor by comparison to the UppaBaby, but actually, the the Sport is terrible generally. It extremely awkward to manoeuvre, corners terribly - there is a real risk of tipping over - and has limited storage. The seat back is… Read more
difficult to raise/lower and will slide down from the upright position despite all clips etc being fastened and generally it does not feel sturdy. Lastly, the front wheel has punctured twice on city footpaths in 3 months despite very limited usage (because we so dislike using it). I cannot imagine a worse buggy. Buy literally any other buggy instead of this.
Really not too bad – I bought it for the double seats design,usually I use it for little son.Easy to maneuver,quality pram,convenient to fold unfold,but a bit of heavy for me to carry it from car before going shopping.When I want to use it for my little daughte(round 6 months),I find it's hard to keep my son(2 years) sit together.He feels uncomfortable at back seat.It's much better two way seats design,actually not practical for double. Show details
I wouldn't buy this pram unless you need a double – We bought this pram second hand as a double when our second child arrived. It seemed like a reasonably priced pram for the quality. It has done the job required but we don't love it. It is heavy compared to the other prams we have used (baby jogger Citi mini gt, valco snap duo and maclaren). It doesn't steer as easily as some other prams. … Read more
The adjustable clips to raise and lower the seat and extending irritating and hard to do up if the child is sitting in the seat.
The sun good is pretty useless
The brake is extremely stiff and not that easily to unlock.
However,
It does have good basket capacity.
The second seat is easily to attach and take off.
We'd probably still buy it again unless we had bought a double pram in the beginning

They Don’t Accept Returns – Know that if you buy any parts from their website they do not accept ANY returns. So… if it turns out not to fit— too bad. Show details
Customer service is horrible – Dealing with company is awful. I was not sent one of my items from my order. Another item, a snack tray, doesn't fit on my stroller. I am trying to exchange this item and no one from the company will contact me back. You can only contact them through their messaging then email. No phone number.

Best pram for two kids – I love my Phil n teds sport pram! Honestly, one of the best purchases I’ve made. Mine has lasted 10 years, through 3 children. It’s easy to use for one child and not bulky. Adding the second seat is very simple and the pram is still manoeuvrable. The quality of the fabric and frame is excellent. The pram folds up very compact for a 3 wheeler,… Read more
however it’s a little awkward doing the actual folding. Be careful not to pump the tyres up too high, as the wheel rims get warped. But you need to keep the tyres at a decent pressure, to make pushing a breeze.
Perfect pram as a single or double – I bought this pram for my 1st born 7 years ago and also had my other 2 girls in the same pram. They all used the same cocoon and same with the extra seat (double Kit) I had the unusual apple green and always got commented on it. it was a fabulous looking pram so very easy to push and turn i could get through the supermarket checkouts with easy as… Read more
its narrow and the quality was superb. you can take the whole pram apart and put everything in the washing machine for me that's a winner :) its very easy to fold away and to set up. i would highly recommend this pram to anyone.
Best item we ever bought for our kids – It's just a terrific transformer! Bought in 2008, we moved all of our three kids around the city with this one - going to all the stages (from 1 infant > 3 kids). And yes, in later years, sometimes all of our three kids would climb on top (one sitting in front, mostly!). And sure, often there were tons of groceries down below as well - it survived… Read more
it all. The thing is, it's made from steel, which might look less sexy to some (?) it sure beats most aluminum frames which are usually wobbly at the joints. You can easily buy this model 2nd hand in confidence.
So it was our daily driver, we did all-terrain on holidays, used it a lot on public transport in our largish city (yes, its one of the few with a limited width to easily slides through bus and tram doors) and still folds down compact to fit your booth. I can honestly say it was the best thing we ever bought -the sole reason I write this review, as parents buy tons of things that afterwards turn out useless. While this stroller was mostly managed by my 54 kg wife, she agrees it maneuvers like a dream (for those who can't... !? try unblocking the front wheel) Speaking of wheels, still having our original tires in 2017... And it was really well-used (and yes, abused)...
Admittedly no longer using it much since 2014, thought of giving it away. So today I took all soft parts off, did a 4 hour 40 degrees washing cycle - just mounted it all and ... looks like its ready to go again.
Downsides? Would even prefer the classic over this one, the adjustable handle doesn't add much however it has lots of play which I find disturbing. And you might want to consider NOT buying a light color (we chose sand - and well, as I said, we used it well...
Disappointed – I bought this pram a month ago and am increasingly disappointed. I feel that for the price, the pram lacks a number of streamlined features that I would expect for value for money. The hood is difficult to adjust and requires a lot of force to pull up & down. It often becomes detached from the frame while doing this. Also, there is a gap at the… Read more
back. There is no brake to control force when going down steep hills making walking in hilly terrain difficult. I frequently hit my shins on the metal part at the back of the second seat. The storm cover does not fit neatly and snugly to protect the child on the bottom during windy wet weather. At €39 extra, this is disappointing. To fit the pram into my Toyota auris, I need to remove and re- attach second seat each time. This is fiddly and difficult to attach and remove.The pram is heavy to lift. Yesterday when removing pram from car, my finger became entrapped as pram opened and removed skin from knuckle. The only positive is that the pram glides easily over smooth, flat paths in town and both children are comfortable in the pram.
Fabulous pram and still going strong – My wife and I bought this pram just under 5years ago for my little boy and we are now using it for our daughter. Till now, this pram is going strong. It is very easy to navigate through tight areas but it has its limitation like many other prams. Overall, a great buy for 2nd hand pram. Cons: we have had to repair the wheel twice now and I… Read more
believe this is a common issue with this pram/model as I've seen others with similar/same issue. The foam bit on the handles are breaking/ripping a bit.
One and Only – I looked into strollers when we had our first in 2010, knowing we would have multiple children we wanted one that could hold two kids. We both love the Phil & Ted Sport Stroller and the different ways to set it up. We now have 3 kids and use it all the time. People always ask me about the stroller and can't believe we have two kids in it. I love… Read more
the stroller. The only complaint I have is the rims on the wheels! The stroller was fine for the first couple of years but over time if you leave the stroller in the car on hot days the tires would pop. The rims are a bad design. Over 4 years we have had the same rims and looking into getting new ones. We have replaced the tire tubes a couple of times. Overall we love the stroller and take it everywhere we go. I know it will last for another couple of kids.
Good but difficult to fold – I bought this stroller second hand when my second child was born and the versatility of the double seat is great. I like that the baby can lie completely flat and that you can change from one to two children very easily. It handles a lot better than the single Childcare brand stroller I had before which is important since you have a lot of weight… Read more
to push with two onboard. The folding mechanism is terrible though! It is difficult to fold it without putting the handle bar or front of the pram on the ground which wears out the handle bar foam and fabric. You also have to take the second seat off for folding. It is also quite heavy. I have since bought a Phil Teds vibe and it is much better with non of the folding issues. Great handling, versatile Terrible folding system, heavy
Good & Bad – Have found this to be a good pram in single mode & was good also when baby no.2 was little and happy to lie down all the time. Now that bubs is 4mths old and not happy to be fully reclined the pram is a pest - I can only go for walks in 'awake' times as if I put baby in front and reclined my toddler gets knocked in the head & has no room. If baby… Read more
is in the back seat with it dropped back I find my legs are hitting the back of the seat when I walk ... must admit we walk pretty fast & also have a dog with us - but cant find a way to make it work for us - so have ended up buying a side by side double where one can sleep & recline and the other be upright.
Great wheels and a smooth ride on most surfaces, great for shopping centres & fits in boot easily.
Cumbersome to lift I find & would much rather the MB style of collapse.
Basket underneath is tiny & can hardly fit a handbag in there. No zips pockets either.
Handlebar adjusts but isn't high enough for my 6,2 husband to push comfortably Good for shopping centres, turns corners well, great for a NB & toddler or just one child Small carry basket, hard to lift, not good for a sleeping baby if you have a toddler also, not a good handle height for tall men
I love my phil & teds – I love this pram. I've had a few and this has been the keeper. I've had it for five years, 3 kids and it has been used nearly every day and it is a little faded but still going strong. I will buy another one when when I need to. The only thing I recommend doing before you use one, is take the tyres to a bike shop and get them to fill the tyres… Read more
with the purple goo to prevent punctures. Light, easy to fold. Compacts down. Fits in my small hatchback boot with room for shopping Break is hard to put on so u tend not to worry about putting it on

Happy with it – I'm happy with this one as it is pretty easy to steer even whilst jogging and off-road. Hubby can even work out how to fold it down and it fits easily into our boot. It's lighter than some of the other really big ones that felt like steering a bus. Would recommend it. light but sturdy
Great Pram – I initially purchased a second hand childcare discovery which was fantastic, but we live in a rural area and the discovery was no good for going on walks around here (lots of gravel). The Phil & Teds V2 Sports pram is amazing! I can put my 4mo daughter in and go anywhere. steers really well, lightweight, big basket, small hood but sunshade… Read more
attachment fixes that, great suspension. i put her in it to walk around our property and the bumps are never an issue.
I didn't get the 'peanut' attachment, but the sturdy belt helps her sit upright and she doesn't like to recline if she is awake so it doesn't matter - only drawback is that i have to walk in front to make sure she is doing ok.
the only 2 negatives are -
1. The brake is ridiculously tight. I cant unlock it with my foot, I have to crouch down and use 2 hands (bit embarrassing in public)
2. To collapse pram it has to sit on its handle (unless you are strong enough to hold it in the air with one arm while you lock the front wheel in place). The handle is covered in a rubber foam and tears easily so i have to rest the pram on my feet to lock it.
This pram takes up a fair bit of space unless you can be bothered removing the wheels (which I cant)
All in all, really happy with my purchase and will be keeping it long term. Knowing I can add a second seat is a real bonus!
Fantastic! – I have a phill n teds sport with the extra seat. Its easy to steer. It was a bit hard with a new born to get in and out while having the extra seat on top. but now with a 6 month old and 26 month old its fantastic. Its easy to run with and really well balanced. The extras you can get like rain coat and sunviser and carry bag ffor travel are great too. Really easy to steer Brake is hard to use when wearing thongs
Good – Due to its inline design, its narrow enough to fit any where a little stroller would. It truly is fantastic to push. It can handle gravel roads, long grass, bumps, sandy tracks no worries. The hood is ridiculous but i have learnt to take my sun cover with me everywhere and thats ok. When used for a newborn and a toddler with the double seat on… Read more
the front, I did find my toddler was too tall to have the hood open. It was resting on her head, she is only average height and was only 2 at the time. It pays to ring around and find the best price before purchasing one, some stores are charging up to and beyond $700 for the pram and doubles kit, mine was $629 with double kit. Overall really good, versatile pram that comfortably transports two children any where. Light weight and effortless to push with 2 children in it. Goes well over all types of terrain. Very simple to change from a single pram to a double. Great range of funky colours. Wet weather cover and sun mesh can be purchased to cover both children in the pram so you can still head out for a walk no matter what the weather is like. Great range of accessories. The one thing that I really dislike is the hood. It gives so little coverage, and when you open the viewing window there is nothing there not mesh or clear plastic as in other prams also it has only 2 positions close or open no in between. I would have to say it is the most pathetic hood Ive ever seen on a pram especially for our harsh summers. The buckles for adjusting the backrest are abit fiddly, a newborn up and down bed adjustment strap remedies this.
OK – The pram is compact and there are not many choices in double prams so I guess that is why you buy it and why I'll rate it begrudingly a 3. If you only need a single get the mountain buggy is sooooo much better (note: I heard Phil & Ted have brought Mountain Buggy so the quality may drop). If I was rating the pram without the double kit I would… Read more
give it a 1. - Compact, the only double that is not huge. The double conversion seat goes on and comes off really easily. You can even easily move the newborn from the back to the front with them in it (you need to do this if the older child gets out of the front - other wise the pram tips back when you go down a hill)- The back section is open in newborn position - great ventilation for Aussie weather Where to start!- The zips on the main front seat section to recline are impossible to use when a child is sitting in the seat. Even with the child out they are really bad - it is hard to zip up. The tags on the zips break ( have had to replace these) - The tubes in the tyres of the Phil and Teds burst easily and when you use a universal tube ( phil and ted dont make there own tubes and the tyres are not covered by the 12 month warrenty)the tyre becomes mis-shapen (it is fatter in one section - usually near the valve) and then the pram wont steer straight and it is bumpy to push. I have had two wheels do this and had to replace them (pram is only 6 months old). When i spoke to the shop I brought the pram from I was the third customer that week to make the same complaint and they kept my tyres to show the Phil and Teds Rep when they came from NZ because they deny the problem. One wheel was so bad with the bulge in one section that it hit the mud guard when you pushed it and the tyres were not over pumped.- The handle is loose , by that I mean that it has movement up and down in each position rather than locking in firmly. It is really annoying.- The manoverability is very average, especially when you have two kids in and need to turn a corner on a slope- Double conversion kit - at 6 months old my daughter is too tall to have the zips undone in the recline position - her head hits the bar.- When you have a toddler in the conversion kit on the front (and baby underneath in newborn position), you cant use the sun cover as it is not high enought to fit over toddlers head- No sun cover section that just covers the opening at the back of the pram in newborn position (like the rain cover section that comes with the pram)
Good – I really enjoy my P&T. So much so that now I rarely have 2 children in it, but still put the double kit on the back because then I have the biggest under pram basket on the market! I have fixed all the little foibles to my stisfaction whilst spednign less than $100 extra. It does pay to shop around for the initial layout as I bought mine over… Read more
the internet (and not just because I live over 5 hours from my nearest baby shop)and did save over $200.
I use the P&T when we go into town, and use my big 4 wheel pram on the farm, so don't find the instability of 3 wheels to be such an issue (and this was the one thing I couldn't fix anyway! It is light and easy to fold and put in the boot of my large 4WD. I use the double kit for extra shopping space when the 4yr old walks. I fixed the issues with the clips and zippers by getting a pair of 'ups and downsies' which converted the recline mechanism to a couple of slides (keep looking hard for these as they are very rare). I fixed the wheels that repeatedly either blew off the rim under the air compressor, or went flat despite blu-goo by having them changed at the bike shop for a pair of rubber wheels (with only a very small effect upon how light the pushing was - and certainly worth the investment)I got two single rain covers from a supermarket and use these, which protects both kids from rain, and stops the mud and water from splashing up under the toddler seat (when it is on the bottom), and this solution cost me less then $20.A long handled nappy bag hangs nicely below the toddler seat, but off the ground when the second seat is on the back (and it wasn't a name brand either). I had to create my own fixes for the wheels, protecting the second seat when underneath, and had to track down the 'quick fix' to the raising adn lowering of the main seat. The locking mechanism for my stroller can be difficult to engage when putting it up, but this is particular to my pram, and I cope rather than be without for the time it will take to get it fixed.It was difficult to get the pram into the travel bag (a really tight fit) but I can understand why.My model still has the foot operated brake and it is hard to engage, but that's better than the child underneath disengaging it when I am not prepared (so I can understand and accept this compromise).The handle hits the ground as I fold it up, so I have changed my position so that it falls down onto to my foot (and I fold the handle right down first also)
Phil and ted sport – I love this pram as its very light and compact when folded. It fits through a standard checkout. It takes a second seat that is easily attached and removed and you can buy many different accessories such as bassinet, sun cover, rain cover, pannier bags, seat liners and has capsule brackets available for a few different capsules. The handle is… Read more · 1
height adjustable and pram is easily maneuvered on just about any surface. The only problem are brake can be a little stiff and it's awkward to get a newborn into main seat when toddler seat on top, but having capsule attachment alleviates this problem and second seat is used on bottom.

Excellent Kid Mover – we have a Phil & Ted's Sport stroller and recently used it for a trip to Sydney walking all around inner Sydney with a 1 and a 3 year old. The attachable toddler seat was great and suitable for both kids and the three wheels made it easy to steer and its wheel base isn't as wide as others so we fitted in all shops. the sturdy steel frame makes it… Read more
a heavy pram and we worried about getting hit with excess baggage on the plane but the steel frame also gives you piece of mind that its strong and can be loaded up with all the kids junk. However you can't access underneath storage when a child is in toddler seat. But overall we love our pram and will keep it for many year to come. Sturdy, easy to steer and removable toddlerseat attachment heavy pram that cannot be folded up with toddlerseat attachment
Best pram I've Owned! – I love my Phil & Ted pram its so versital single child or two children, very easy to push even now at the girls ages being 4 and nearly 3, I got when I had my second baby and loved how it took a capsule, that with other accerories I also had a very portable bouncer. My girls in the beginning once the youngest was 1 used to fight over who would sit… Read more
in the bottom seat which I found surprising , lucky they were about the same weight give 1kg and they were 19 months apart, now at 4 and nearly 3 they both fight who sits in the frontI. I love how you can have heaps of room when shopping with the toddler seat attached for your bags. I also love how you can easily update colour fabrics get pieces replaced if they break so easily on the website and it has quick postage too. The only problems ive had with the pram is that the frame doesnt lock, (does on the v2 version), I had trouble finding a easy way to open it but its most likely me as i brought the pram second hand from a friend and forgot to ask the easy way to fold have worked it out now but took a good 8 months lol, the brake was hard to put on but i fixed that with wd40 and i had a problem with a wheel but found out it was the bearings that needed to be replaced $2 each so nice and cheap. lots of uses eg baby, baby and toddler buy accessories and it can be a bouncer too,easy to stare,easy to get replacement parts. no frame lock but mine was the v1, and v2 has it, had trouble folding but worked it out now.
Great Pram especially for off road use – I purchased this pram because at the time it was one of only a few that could have a toddler seat attached, I live in the country so lots of gravel walking trails. The pram has been great in this regard, through fields over gravel, no problem. The extra seat now I have 2 kids is also great. Very maneuverable when in town, no problems getting… Read more
through isles at the supermarket. The brake is very stiff so I often undo it by hand and the lower rear seat strap (to raise the sitting position) is also difficult to do & I'm not a total weakling. Overall I like this pram but there a lot of double options out there now, glad I don't have to choose again as this will last me until the kids have outgrown it. Great off road Brake is stiff, rear strap buckle difficult to do up
Good – I have been over all very happy but can understand that some of the problems I have had would put people off buying the Sport. But for me the Pro's outweigh the Con's- Its narrow, easy to fold, takes alot of weight, both kids can recline to sleep, extra seat takes more weight than most toddler seats and it looks good. If you buy one make sure its… Read more
from a good retailer because if you do have problems you will want them to look after you plus you have a warranty. This is the second pram I have owned & has suited my needs perfectly. Able to have 2 kids and take a fair amount of weight was a plus and it fits thru most check outs (trust me it matters!) Really easy to fold and take on/off double kit. Pushes well & has a good turning circle I have had a tyre bulge off the rim, after talking to the manufacturer they suggested it was due to high temp in the boot of my car (& recommended that I keep it somewhere else-yeah right!) A tab on the zip used for adjusting the seat position broke off, but was easily replaced. The brake is stiff to use especially if you are wearing an open shoe.
Good – Overall I think this is the best double pram option. Nice and narrow, not bulky. It folds down flat and neatly, and you can switch it back to a single pram really easily! Great pram! Best pram I have owned (and I have had alot of prams) .Folds down flat to put into car. Narrow enough to go through shopping checkouts. Not as well built as some of the competitors prams. Tyres seem to need pumping up often. Show details
Does the job it is supposed to – I've just bought my second P&T Sport. I sold my original that I had purchased new in 2008 in order to purchase a Bugaboo Donkey, but I was so disappointed in that I sold it and have gone back to a 2nd hand Sport as you can no longer get them new, paired with a 2nd hand Mountain Buggy Urban Double for walking. The Sport isn't brilliant, pretty,… Read more

It has some aspects that are frustrating (see list of cons) but on the whole it does move two children from point A to point B with the same footprint as your average three wheeler. It is relatively robust, and the current quality of P&T is far less than what was experienced with this model and it's precursor, the E3. Perhaps the quality will improve with the two new P&T offerings, the Dot and the Navigator.
I have never had issues with this stroller tipping, but you need to use common sense. You CANNOT seat a child in the toddler seat without some weight in the front without it tipping. When removing your children, always take out the child seated in the toddler seat first. Although P&T do not recommend this, I have always been able to use my Maxi Cosi capsule with the toddler seat underneath and it has not once tipped.
One of the accusations against this stroller is that it is heavy. Yes, it is heavy compared to an umbrella stroller, but could that stroller support the weight of two children? It weighs a similar weight to my Bugaboo Cameleon and Mountain Buggy Urban. To me, anything under 13kg in stroller terms is lightweight. You soon build up the muscles needed to put it into the boot, and I could lift this stroller easily even in advanced pregnancy. Compact for a double, main seat is fairly large, ability to take Maxi Cosi capsule, wide range of fabric choices, better quality than current models, P&T are very cheap even new, much smaller footprint than the dreaded Strider Plus Unable to use basket with toddler seat on bottom, I think the newborn/toddler mode is very poor which is why I always used my capsule (also allows for rear facing), not easy to change covers, recline system very poor on this model and need to remove child to put backrest up, need to buy extras like raincover separately
