Smart functionality, ergonomic comfort, urban style, street stopping, inline Phil and Ted’s Vibe Baby Stroller eye candy!
An inline model is more adaptable for parents who need something for their ever changing needs as their family grows. That’s why Phil and Teds invented the ultra adaptable inline buggy. The unique double kit clips easily to the front or back so two kids – from lie-flat newborn to an upright 5-year old – can cruise together in one buggy no bigger than a single!
What else makes this model so good? A multi-position adjustable one touch handle; parking brake, multi-position ezy seat; from lie-flat newborn to upright 5 year old with a multi-position sun hood. The buggy can fold with the doubles kit still attached to the back. Slide lock harness adjustment, attachment with layback quick zip cover, single double sun storm covers (sold separately), form-fit ergo seat. You also get a large parcel tray, low profile tires and a food tray.
Specs: for newborns to 5 years old, safety certified ASTM F833-07A.
Dimensions are 50.2 x 23 x 41 inches and a weight of 26.5 pounds.
Has won Mother Baby Awards.

“Compared to other all terrain double jogger strollers for infant and toddler available, this stroller is by far the easiest to maneuver, especially going up and down a hill with two kids of different age(1yr & 3yr old) and weight. Brake system is very simple to engage with just a push of a button, although I wish the company had designed it behind the handle so that it would not be easily bumped into. As far as disengaging the brake, I just have to press the palm of my hand on the brake release button. I did not have a problem of knocking my knees against the lower seat as I walked. I had plenty of room, but then again I’m only 5’4″ and the handle was placed at the lower setting. The size may seem bulky due to the plush seating and the large wheels on each side that extend the dimensions to 25″ in width (1 inch more than the sport buggy), but it’s not any bulkier compared to other single jogging strollers. Overall, it’s a pretty good stroller for what I need it to be. The vibe is definitely not an easy stroller to travel with, you just can’t throw it in the trunk of the car in seconds and go. Folding the vibe is cumbersome and the lever on each side of the stroller is impossible to lock down! That’s pretty much my only gripe other than the price, but that can’t be helped due to the product being so new.”
“I just ordered a vibe and have to say I love it more than I thought I would. I have been shopping around for a double for my 1 1/2 year old and his 3 month old brother. After seeing how large and heavy most well built doubles are(needed large wheels to handle snow) I decided to spend the money to get a double that won’t take up my whole car. The fabric and padding is super plush, the under basket is large and study..in fact every part is well built and sturdy. I can tell I will have this stroller for years. The fold is a bit tricky (like most doubles, will require some practice) but not impossible…and I like I can leave that second seat on. Meets all my needs and looks great….and came out of the box smelling like a new sports car. “

Pros:
- Very versatile
- The build quality looks excellent
- Easy fold, compact enough by any standard
- Super smooth ride
- Excellent brake system
- Large basket
- High carry capacity
- Good looks
Cons:
- The doubles seat installed at the back is very close to your knees when walking and you may end up extending your arms to prevent hitting it.
- The handle only adjusts up or down, no telescopic adjustment, making the problem above worst. (I am 6’1”)
- Once folded there isn’t a strap or handle to pick the stroller up with one hand and it is still fairly heavy.
- The wheels can puncture.
- Both seats can only face forwards.
- Not that cheap (although Phil and Teds are known for quality rather than being cheap), so think carefully before you buy.
