Will let you know Katie! The double buggy is a PITA to fit in the boot coz it is big and bulky. It's nice and light, but the third (front) wheel sticks out when it's folded so it needs a big space. The double stroller is narrower but heavier (steel rather than alloy frame) and longer so still a mission to get in the boot.]]> Thu, 09 Aug 2007 19:21:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9581&PID=194631&title=phil-and-teds-double-buggy#194631 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9581&PID=194610&title=phil-and-teds-double-buggy#194610 Author: mum2paris

with the phil n teds one, the double kit seat, seriously takes 2 seconds to clip in or out, buggy folds down with 2 clips.. one stays out once you pull it then you just pull the other one and down it goes .. so yes you have to set it up each time but takes less time than a normal buggy i reckon, fits better in the bott than some normal buggies too!

In our buggy, no, the newborn can't sit up when they are in the newborn + toddler set-up - we used to hang little toys in the back so ayja didn't get bored and go nuts. ]]> Thu, 09 Aug 2007 19:00:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9581&PID=194610&title=phil-and-teds-double-buggy#194610 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9581&PID=194368&title=phil-and-teds-double-buggy#194368 Author: katie1

And when you do Emma can you do compassons between the double buggy and Phil and Teds on ease of getting it up and down and set up and also ease of packing it into the car boot. This is a great post as I was thinking about this the other day.
I was wondering how the double ones fit into the boot of a car. Also with the Phil and Teds can you set it up and then just fold it up each time or do you always have to attach the second bit on everytime you use it?
The pictures with the doll are great Janine! You creative Mummy!
Can the newborn never sit up when they are both in the buggy?

I probably wouldn't have bought it otherwise. Mum reckons I have rocks in my head and there's nothing wrong with the one I have. Altho she did admit that a front-back buggy would eliminate them pulling each others hair like Sienna was doing to Mercedes in the stroller today, and would reduce the risk of them being decapitated coz they hang their arms off the side when you're trying to squeeze thru a tight doorway.]]> Wed, 08 Aug 2007 22:02:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9581&PID=194017&title=phil-and-teds-double-buggy#194017 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9581&PID=194005&title=phil-and-teds-double-buggy#194005 Author: kell

yep ours is the same as well, but because ours zipped into place, the bar framework that runs up the sides of our toddler seat and forms a weel handle thingie above it.. ours comes out so the seat can be zipped into the buggys layback zip system.. the new ones the frame stays on and there is a connector piece kinda like a hinge that fits on the bottom of the toddler seat frame then attaches to the side poles where the front bar usually goes.. clips in and out of the front position..



and as far as i can tell the double toddler seat one behind the other (like emmas picture), features are the same.. the toddler seat just clips into wee holes either side of the framework near the parcel tray, and the normal buggy seat gets sat up as normal.

ok, so theres the normal buggy with the seat in the baby position/layback flat position


Then theres the buggy with the toddler seat int he front position.. our buggy with toddler seat is the older one so it zipped into place.. the newer ones clip into the slots where the front bar that goes across gets pulled off i think.


Of course the usual buggy seat get laid back right down flat.. and baby lies on that. with the flap that goes up to stop em falling out.. (our dolly isn't harnessed in sorry lol) and you get either a sun shade or i found our rain cover most handy.. single of course.. has a flap that goes down over the back.. see through, so that baby doesn't get cold. also means if you have the sunshade one on no-one even knows you have baby in there.. great for up town when you can't be bothered being stopped by a million grannies wanting to look at baby if you're in a hurry. lol

So really, until you are using the toddler seat at the back for the older kiddies, you only need the single rain and shade cover.

and theres the gap in the front between the top and bottom seat for feet once baby gets bigger.. as i said, our toddler one zips into place so once paris was in it the bum of the seat used to cut down leg space for ayja, but the new ones are up higher too so more leggy room for bubs. mainly when ayja was little i put our own little cocoon in the bottom part and didn't really do the strap in thing as it fitted pretty snug.

We have the v2 of the e3 (with me so far? ), and I do know what you mean. The toddler does seem to sit very high up when on the front. If you look at the toddler seat only, you will see that there are 2 sets of domes on the side of the frame near the top, and one set that clips onto them on the fabric of the seat. If you clip the domes from the seat onto the lower set on the frame, it will lower the whole toddler seat on its frame. It doesn't look like much, but it does actually make quite a difference when you use the seat.]]> Mon, 06 Aug 2007 15:47:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9581&PID=192372&title=phil-and-teds-double-buggy#192372 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9581&PID=191298&title=phil-and-teds-double-buggy#191298 Author: marielb

Yes I think I am just going to have to put up with it over summer, and Alex will have to learn to wear a sunhat!!

i do have one of these but i have the older version.. ie the e3, first version they bought out, they then made adjustments to it to get the e2 v3 or whatever the heck it is. some of the adjustments are good.. like no longer having to zip the toddler seat into position over the baby.. just clipping it on instead, but others like putting the toddler seat further up.. mean that toddler might not be covered quite so well.. gives bubba more feet room though which i found was lacking with mine.]]> Wed, 01 Aug 2007 00:05:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9581&PID=189806&title=phil-and-teds-double-buggy#189806 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9581&PID=189629&title=phil-and-teds-double-buggy#189629 Author: busymum

Hi

Ok, now I LOVE my P&T's E3, and often tell anyone and everyone how wonderful it is. But I have never used it with the doubles kit before (as there was no need!!) but as the nesting thing has suddenly kicked in, I decided today to get out the double seat and instuctions so I knew how to use it properly when no. 2 arrives. So I put the double seat on the front, and put Alex in it to see how he liked it (which he did). But it seems as though he is quite high up, and so I am unable to use the sun hood, as his head is in the way, well the hood is in his heads way! So I guess I will have to take it off when he is in the second seat... which seems rather annoying considering Ill be using it in summer and I need to keep the sun off him.

Has any one else found this a problem? The pictures in the instuction manual keep the hood on, but it just doesnt work (and Alex isnt big)

GGRRRR I like Phil and teds, but today they are annoying me!! (they have no email, and no 0800 no. which I think is rude!! I will have to pay for a phone call to them!!)]]> Tue, 31 Jul 2007 18:59:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9581&PID=189615&title=phil-and-teds-double-buggy#189615
