The Product: Double Stroller

The Phil & Ted’s Sport Buggy sets the standard for double strollers and in my opinion is the best all purpose double stroller on the market. It has a brilliant design that overcomes most of the shortcomings of both traditional types of double strollers. The Sport Buggy is no bigger than a regular jogging stroller and uses an “in-line” approach to carrying two kids, putting one child above and slightly in front of the other. The oversized tires make it great for walking, light jogging or as a neighborhood stroller. However it also fits into the trunk of car easily and fairly compactly and is portable enough to travel with or take on vacation. The Phil and Teds Sport Buggy is actually a single stroller, but becomes a double when combined with the innovative toddler seat attachment. As seen in the pictures below, where the toddler seat attaches (front or back) depends on the age of the younger child. The toddler seat also seat reclines giving you the ability to have both kids nap on the go.

How It Works

One child rides normally in the stroller (upper left). With a newborn, you unzip the main seat (upper right) allowing it to fall flat into a quasi bassinet and then attach the Doubles Kit (sold separately) for your toddler to sit on top (lower left). Our son used to pass out every time we put him in there as a baby because it's essentially a rocking bassinet that sways back and forth. Once your baby is old enough to sit up, the same seat attaches to the back of the stroller as a caboose (lower right) and then the older child sits in the regular seat up-front again. A lot of people ask me if the toddler will be okay sitting in the back because they can’t see directly forward. It’s really not as bad as it looks because they can see out of both sides. Both kids are happy in either position and they even fight over the back, so it's never been an issue at all and they tend to be claustrophobic in general.

Because the Sport Buggy has jogging stroller qualities including large inflatable wheels, it great for all seasons and is very easy to maneuver both outdoors and in a store. It also folds relatively compactly to fit in your trunk or take on vacation, although for the later I would recommend the custom travel bag to protect it. The bottom line is that everyone I know who has purchased this Phil and Ted's stroller has loved it. It's not the cheapest stroller on the market, but it works so well in so many areas, that's it’s absolutely worth the money. It’s also seriously worth considering as a single stroller, especially if you think baby #2 won’t be too far down the line. Without the doubles kit, it looks and functions just like a regular stroller.

You may get a better price on the Sport Buggy from online merchants (especially with free shipping and no tax) as the Phil and Ted's Strollers are usually only carried by local baby boutiques. Also, check out the all new Phil and Ted’s Vibe and Dash Stroller reviews.

Devil's Advocate:

Part of what makes the Phil and Ted's Sport Buggy great is the many attachments and accessories that are available. However they are mostly a la carte and don’t come cheap. You could easily double the price of the stroller with the accessories, so make sure you choose wisely. Another thing to note is that when the toddler seat is in the back and reclined, if your child is tall, you may find that their head will bump against support bar across the top of the seat.
