In the three years creating Strollbery - for free, in our free time, we are proud to have helped thousands of parents from more than 207 countries. And helping is what we've cared about the most.

Being musicians as well, we created a special holiday song for you to share a wintery, Christmas vibe with us. We hope it brings you a bit of calm (we all need it). ♥️

HAPPY STROLLING AND MAGIC HOLIDAYS!

Parent reviews of the Phil&Teds Vibe 2

if you own(ed) it, own it ;-)
parents say thx^^

An excellent buy if you can get your hands on a second hand model

5
  • 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.

It's been in great service for about the fourth or fifth year now

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 :)

Amazingly light

  • 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.
