Parent reviews of the Phil&Teds Vibe 2
- Big wheels = Easy handling
- Very stable on rough terrain
- Easy to push despite heavy load
- The kid sitting behind the first doesn’t have the best view
- For the hind-rider: Fingers can get caught in the wheels if the wheel guards come off
We are a third family owning a Vibe 2. This stroller has seen 6 children and has been on various adventures including walking through Pompeii, many airports and exciting nature trails.
It is stable on very rough territory, despite pushing a heavy load with two toddlers inside it handles exceptionally easily and despite rough handling and long usage, no breakages except for tyre inner tube punctures during off-road adventures. We easily found replacement tyre tubes at a local cycling shop and added gel to prevent unnecessary further punctures.
This is an excellent buy if you can get your hands on a second hand model.
We have it second hand, so it's been in great service for about the fourth or fifth year now... I mean, 4 children are happily behind this stroller.
Of course, it is not in perfect condition after that time, but it still fulfills its function. We even, on holiday in Rome, carried 3 children in it at the same time and it has stood up very successfully... So for us I highly recommend it :)
- Lightweight
- Great handling
- Fits in every door and elevator
- Can carry two children
- Can be bought older and in very good condition
- I found none
Amazingly light, easy to handle stroller. Maximum satisfaction.
