Phil & Ted “Sport” $399 and “E3 Twin” $549 Strollers Phil & Ted, a relatively new company from New Zealand, has designed a one of a kind stroller “The Sport” that changes with your families needs. This 24 pound stroller starts as a single 3 wheel all terrain stroller which can later become a double with the addition of an interesting click on attachment seat for $89 (this attachment can also change into a bouncy seat for infants and toddlers, but that’s another story). What makes this unique is that it clicks on beneath the original seat. As a result, your stroller doesn’t become cumbersome by getting longer or wider when it travels for two. All together these two seats can transport 88 lbs…55 pounds for the child in the first seat and an additional 33 pounds for the child in the add-on.
The padded seat has a 5 point harness and adjusts from a complete lie-back for infants to several different upright positions for toddlers. The handle also adjusts in height to accommodate parents of all sizes. It has a lockable swivel front wheel to take you from smooth pavements to any where off the beaten path with a flick of a switch.
For an extra $25, you can purchase a car seat adapter that works with the Peg Perego Viaggio and Graco Snug Ride infant car seats, but some parents have complained that this attachment does not feel secure, especially over rougher terrain.
Their designers have put the same thought into their E3 Twin stroller. At 29” wide, it fits easily through doorways and shopping aisles. It has the same lockable front wheel, multi position handle, 4 position seat, etc. It’s obvious that their goal is to make life easy and convenient for parents, and safe for children.
