Advantages: Both kids are next to each other

Disadvantages: Big and difficlt to get right while folding

I have 2 kids, 13 months apart, so got the Phil and Teds Camo color. Really felt that I wanted a side by side as well. Don't really know why, jst did. I got it from Pram world and a really good price. I did have to get the shopping net thing seperatly at a cost of nearly £20, which is a real rip off as far as I am concerened. I chose the charlcoal color as fairly netral.

Came in an enormos box and was in bits. Also the wheels were flat!!! This was terrible as it didnl;t come with a p*mp. The angle of the nozzle on the wheels was sooo crooked that the compact bike p*mp I had simply didn;t fit.
Extremly annoyed, as really wanted to take my new pram for a stroll there and then....not possible.

After resolving this, we were off. Well, no........went throgh my front door, bt not the proch door. measres 77cm, bt I had to take both kids o*t, fold the pram, then re load them o*tside on the driveway. Then we really were off! It was a dream to stear, the handle was low, I'm 5'6, so not terriblt tall, b*t I think the foam grip handle shold be adjstable as I did think it a little *ncomfortable after a time. Also, cannot hang a bag from it, so pleased I got the additional shopping basket beneath, I have a long handled bag, still didn;t go anywhere near!

The break is fantastic, a long easy to apply bar along the entire length of the pram with a bit that stick o*t so very friendly for harrased mothers.
As I have 2 kids of differnt ages, was worried that it wold be heavier on one side, wasn;t, really well balanced as had the central front wheel. Was very easy to streer along the pavements and kerbs in town, not great on some of the narrower roads or ones with big trees etc. Off road, ie, the park or the local forest it really did come into its own. Bonced over anything with great ease.

Folding: Very easy, 2 red b*tton things that were very easy get to. Did come with a warning not to hold certain parts as very easy (INDEED) to trap fingers while folding. It is very light weight, and fairly rob*st to trow in the car. The seats have to be in a certain possition to fold efficiently, which is very annoying. And the gigantic, and I mean gigantic hood had to be right back, very easy to get it very wrong, and be fighting with the beast.

The rain cover was frightningly big. B*t wonderfl. Simple to work o*t and pop on even in a gail.

After a very short space of time the front wheel broke at the top where it meets the bracket. Was a slow p*nct*re, and was a real break from going over something in the park. Was not repairable and had to be replaced after a really long time trying to lay blame with me.

More negatives than possitive on this one I think. Love the Phil and teds and have really st*ck with that. I sold this on Ebay and haven't missed it in the slightest, I have to admot tho, having tested others like the Maclaren Techno doble, and the Mothercare doble and my friend Mo*ntain B8ggy, I really do think this is by far the best side by side on the market, not for me in town thogh.

Summary: I prefer the Phil and Teds, b*t the best of a very bad b8nch
