we got a phil and teds and TBH we dont really use it that often. DD1 had just turned 3 and she was much more able to walk than i had thought...as up until the point that we bought it she was still using the pram a fair bit for trips to the shops etc. and i also wanted to be able to wrangle her if i went for a longer walk or went the shopping centres IYKWIM.

in the end i used a wheely board on our bugaboo (you know the boards that they can stand on). she stands on that and when she gets tired she sits down on it.

if i were to have my time again i'd probably surf ebay for a second hand phil and teds and have it for those (now) rare occassions where i think she might need to be restrained...ie antique stores hahaha!
