Not all it is cracked up to be, June 2, 2009

Ultimately disappointed with the Phil. Bought it in hopes of never having to buy a stroller again and now I want to get rid of it as fast as possible! Sun visor doesn't even cover child AT ALL, wheels are always flat, no cup holder attachment works well (I bought the BOB attachment and it works great), extremely difficult to buckle seat completely upright, view screen to see infant not placed well, handle bar should extend out not rotate up/down- not helpful for taller people. What else? Nothing positive to say! Selling it asap and buying a BOB. Very disappointed and bitter!

Practical Portable Perfect, March 20, 2008

If you are contemplating in purchasing a Bugaboo, just skip it and go for this stroller. After chatting with many owners of the Bugaboo, we found out that it is difficult to collapse. We love to travel and did not want this to become a huge issue so we decided to purchase the P&T's stroller. It collapses in seconds. My honey wanted a jogger and another stroller for an urban setting. I wanted something that would do both, because I did not want to go through the expense of purchasing two strollers and having to decide when to take which stroller, etc. The only minus is that when lowering the seat for a sleeping child, the pulls for the zipper can easily break so you have to remember to lower it prior to putting the child in it, raise the child slightly so the fabric is loose, or not to lower it. Ours broke and this section was easily exchanged at no cost with no questions asked.

Perhaps a tad overpriced, December 5, 2007

While I love this stroller with the doubles kit for my two sons, I kind of expected more for the price tag. It is a solid construction and a great product. The brake was really hard to manuever for while, but I think I am getting the hang of it. It does fold up nice and compact, but I wouldn't say in a simple manner and certainly not one handed like my previous strollers. If you want the canopy open, it snaps to stay in place or else it's folded up, not really any in between. It comes with no ammenities whatsoever, those are all extra. I don't think this would be my first choice for a singles stroller, however as a doubles stroller (with the additional purchase of the doubles kit) I love it because it's a lot easier to manuever than any other that I have seen and a lot less bulk.

The phil&teds Sport Buggy gets mixed reviews from owners on JoggingStroller.com. Some parents love it, but others say this all-terrain stroller is a disappointment.

There are only a handful of reviews of the latest phil&teds Sport Buggy, but reviews are decidedly mixed. Some reviewers like being able to push both their children in this stroller, but others are disappointed by the overall construction.
