I'd have to admit i wasn't a huge fan of the phil & teds to begin with but when i started looking around for a double pram i couldn't find anything else i wanted and could afford. Also wasn't a fan of the seats where toddlers couldn't recline or sleep.

I was in a similar situation where i had a double stoller and in the beginning thought i'd convinced myself it would be sufficient but it was soooo hard to stear, fold up and down and i couldn't imagine doing my regular walks around the block with it.

So i got a phil & teds and i'm pretty happy with it.

Give it a go since you're not loosing out on anything and if you're not happy get the phil & teds.
