Phil & Teds Explorer 2010

[whoami]

Hi! I've been researching Phil & Teds strollers and it looks like the new Explorer model that just came out solves the 'problems' with the Sport model (i.e. bigger sunshade, easier fold, easier brake, etc.). I'm not finding any reviews about the stroller online so I thought I'd see if anyone here has this stroller or has tested it out, and what your thoughts were. Thanks!

i'm getting mine on monday- will post when i do! yes i would have NEVER gotten the sport since it sucked in so many ways- the explorer is kind of like a baby jogger now- great canopy, fold, storage, etc :) so excited to have a seat for BOTH my toddlers (one and two) and not have to deal with a huge old double bob! beyond excited actually, could have used it at the beach and the outdoor mall today...

i saw one "in the wild today"
and i played with one at a maternity store earlier in the week.

love it. i'm "this close" to selling my VIBE to fund the Explorer. the only thing holding me back is that I like the styling on my VIBE.

I would also love to hear someone tell me that in real world usage, the push is better than on the VIBE.

LOL. Are you keeping the Duallie too?

Oooh, what great improvements! I have an earlier version of the P&T e3 with doubles kit and have accepted the minor issues, b/c it has just been one of my favorite strollers. The improvements are amazing! Can't believe it took them this long to make such great improvements, but I think that they will make themselves much more attractive. I really like that one hand fold, and the canopy re-design.

lol! i don't think so- it's just more double than we really need/have space for at this point with my eldest turning 3 and the second one walking more too! I LOVVEEE the duallie but i'm not a runner/exercise walker and that's where it really shines. Neither of mine nap either so i really don't need the space for that...

Hope it works out for you!

Jacksmoma, did you get it? I've been dying to hear all about it!

Baby Gizmo just posted their review on youtube....

Looks really nice - esp the new one handed fold!

I'm assuming it's not one handed fold in double's mode. That would be too good to be true.

Hi, you CAN fold it with doubles kit attached in the upper position (i.e., above the main seat), but it won't fold with doubles kit attached on the rear.

I saw an Explorer this weekend with the second seat in the upper position and the baby behind it. Not a good set-up IMO. You could barely see the baby. It looked like she was squished under the main seat. I thought the concept was so cool but after seeing it in person, I found it disappointing.
