P3 --2004 vs Pliko matic 2003

[juliekost]

I have finally narrowed it down to these two stollers and for the life of me I can't figure out the difference. Are there any? I keep going back and forth on spending the extra money for the P3 but saving money buying last years pliko sounds wonderful too!

Any help or experience would be appreciated...THanks!

Julie,

the major difference is that the P3 steers much better than the pliko. The other thing is that the p3 is more plasticky looking than the older model. I prefer the look of the pliko better but only by a little, but I chose the P3 because it is so much more important to me to be able to steer with one hand. if you do a search you will find more info on this topic. Good luck.

There are pictures of the two on my site next to each other to help people compare them, link in my signature. The steering is greatly improved on the P3, however I often use it with a child standing on the back for which you need 2 hands to push no matter which model so I find it doesn't matter too much *for me*. I also have never found the Pliko steering undoable,lol, where others hate it!

Other differences, the P3 is slightly larger, wheels are larger, latches to keep it closed are different and in a different spot so the P3 latches closed more easily, the tray is standardon the P3, and has 1 cupholder centered, pliko it is an accessory and has 2 cupholders and a center tray, P3 has a more plasticky feel to it. Can't think of any others at this moment.

HTH~

I opted for the older model. So far I'm pretty happy with it. Anyone know if I can still get the accesories though? ie the tray?

I got a good deal on a 2002 model actually, from www.albeebaby.com I don't know if its still available but it was $129 shipping included.
