I did more research on what double stroller to purchase than I did when I decided to go to TCU. I read reviews, I tested strollers, and I looked at pictures. In the end I got the Phil and Ted's Sport Buggy with the doubles kit. Here are the top 10 reasons why I love it.1) Its neon green. That makes me feel like a fun mom. It also works pretty well when you have a boy and a girl. No pink or blue strollers for us. And its not like I would lose a neon green stroller in a crowd.
2) It is honestly the easiest stroller to push. It has a swivel wheel, which is great. My previous sport stroller had the wheel locked in place. I hated that. It was so difficult to turn. The Phil and Ted's is so smooth and the turns are too!
3) I love it that its easily converted to a single stroller. Sometimes we go places where Helen walks. Its nice to just keep one stroller in the car and I have the option of throwing one or both of the kids in it.
4) Gwyneth Paltrow has the same one. Other celebrities are fans too! http://www.phil-and-teds-sport.co.uk/
5) I feel like its a stroller that I will use for a long time. Again, its easily converted to a single stroller, so even when Helen doesn't ride in a stroller at all, I can still use it for Patrick. And its well made, so I have no worry that its going to fall apart any time soon.
6) I love how it converts depending on the ages of your children. From an infant, to a toddler, from a toddler and an infant, to two toddlers, it does it all. When Patrick was a newborn, he could lay down and Helen sat in the toddler seat. Now they are both sitting.
7) Its narrow. I was so nervous about pushing a double-wide stroller around. I can barely push any stroller. I was sure that I wouldn't fit through doors, I would run over toes, etc. And I was concerned that in the future, Helen and Patrick could pick on each other while sitting next to one another. Good thing. Because Helen loves to hit Patrick. She's spending a good deal of time on the "naughty stool." Thank goodness she can't reach him in the stroller.
8) Its short. I was likewise nervous about pushing a super long tandem stroller. I can't even drive the grocery cart because its so long. Let alone a 6 foot long stroller.
9) Did I mention that Gwyneth Paltrow has the exact same one? Seriously, she and Madonna go on walks together with it.
10) Its lightweight as far as double strollers go. 23 pounds. Its easy to fold and collapse once you get the hang of it. Its different than other strollers, but once you've mastered it, its a breeze!
