    I have the phil and ted dash and love it!!! As yet have not used with 2 kids .

    A friend has a valco and she wishes she had never bought it, as for reason you said toddler cant sleep in seat.

    I did tell DH I was willing to give it a try and if its cabbage I will just layby the Phil and Teds anyway as we will have lost nothing.

    Thanks ladies I feel better now I felt like I was been silly and "wasting" money when we had a prefectly good pram.

    why dont you just take it since it is free and see if you like it. if you dont then you can go ahead and get the other one. you could even have it on layby while you are trying out the valco and if you still like the valco you could easily cancel the layby and buy something else you need.

    no - definately get what YOU want - even if it costs you lots or you'll always be thinking....then end up getting it anyway in a few months! I've had 5 - including a valco plus toddler seat and Phil and Teds. While the valco was fine the p & t i have now is just awsome - so much better (imo) - spend the cash - you know you want to :-)

    Why don't you set the money aside at the same rate you would pay off the lay-by. Take the offer of the free pram and when you have set aside the $700 make the decision then. This way you know that you have tried the Valco, and if you are not happy, have the money ready to make the P&T purchase.

    If you are happy with the Valco, you have $700 saved for something else!!!!!!

    This way you will never be left wondering

    Hi,
    I have no idea about prams, but if you don't like the freebie you could sell it on ebay or the parents market and use the money towards your ideal pram.
    I want to google Phil and Ted now to know what it is all about...

    I hate prams!! I only get strollers from now on... something small and light. If it doesn't go through supermarket checkouts I wouldn't have it!!

    Valco's don't!
