Back in November we took on the task of helping two moms pick a stroller. We did some comparisons and some research to help them out. One of them finally made her purchase shortly before Christmas. Jessica from New Jersey ended up buying a Phil & Ted E3. Choosing a stroller is a very personal decision. So much depends on what you do with your kids. The fact that she needed something easy to maneuver and one that would work "off road" since her neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks.
I can't say that we offered her very much assistance. But I'm glad we could be part of her decision-making process.
Here's her story:
After finding out I would be expecting my second child when my son would be 15 months old, one of the first things I looked into buying was a double stroller. For my day to day activities I use a Maclaren Triumph umbrella stroller and for walking/hiking I use a BOB Revolution. I absolutely love both strollers and if not for needing a double would never buy another one. However, a double stroller is what I need.
I immediately started researching and asking friends of mine with two kids their opinions on doubles. My criteria this time around would be to find one stroller that would work for both indoor and outdoor activity. I also wanted something easy to maneuver, on the smaller side and not too heavy. I knew finding something so versatile would not be cheap so my budget was around $400. I had it narrowed down to two - Phil & Teds and the Baby Jogger city mini. Both are excellent strollers but what it came down to was wheels. I do a lot of walking and my neighborhood does not have sidewalks. The wheels on the Phil & Teds are more of an all terrain so my decision was made. An added benefit is the fact that the Phil & Teds can be used as a single stroller or a double so I will never need another stroller again!!!!
I am so happy with my decision and can not wait for the weather to warm up so I can start using it.
