Direct from New Zealand comes Phil and Ted's
best stroller yet, the new and improved
Phil and Ted's Sport. The
Sport is the upgrade to the Phil and Teds e3
Explorer. It has everything from the smooth
swivel wheel design to the versatility of
the Second Seat that made the original e3
Stroller great, but ups the ante with an
array of convenience and comfort enhancing
features to confirm the claim that it really
is 'new and improved'.
With the right Phil and Ted's
accessories, the Sport Stroller has four
possible modes:
-
Single infant
-
Single toddler
-
Baby and toddler
-
Two toddler mode
The unique Phil and Teds Sport is a single
stroller that is ideal for parents that are
planning to have a second child. Since an
estimated 75% of all parents will have a
second child within a few years of their
first, you can understand why this stroller
is so popular. With the Sport Doubles Kit
the Sport Stroller converts from a single
seat to a two passenger tandem stroller,
allowing your baby and toddler to ride
together. With the Phil and Ted's Car Seat
Adaptor, your newborn can ride up front in
the safety of their car seat.
Because the Sport is so narrow and (thanks
to the swivel wheel) maneuverable compared
to most side-by-side double strollers,
you'll have a degree of freedom few other
strollers provide. The underside basket has
room for extra goods, but with larger
toddlers must double as a footrest when the
Doubles Kit is attached. If you need extra
storage, Sorella Due sells special matching
Pannier Bags that hang on the sides of the
Sport Stroller.
Kids big or small will ride in absolute
comfort and safety in the Phil and Ted's
Sport. Both seats are well padded, and main
seat reclines flat for when they get sleepy.
On the list of upgrades to the e3 (see
below) the new reclining seat for the
Doubles Kit was the result of overwhelming
customer demand.
Bottom Line: Even though it
is called the Sport, the Phil and Ted's
Sport is not intended for jogging. You can
lock the front wheel forward for added
control on rough terrain, but jogging with
this stroller is not recommended. Beyond
that limitation, we cannot recommend this
stroller enough, especially if you plan to
have a second child.
The Sport is as useful as it is
eye-catching. Sleek, useful, and easy to
push, the Phil and Ted's Sport is a
relatively light and easy to manage (sub)urban
stroller that grows along with your family.
