Is it lightweight?
Does it pusg well?
Is it flimsy?
What about the doubles seat?
Does it take up alot of bootspace?

overall rating out of 10???

I have the phil and ted dash and love it!!!
easy to push, easy to fold

Only thing i dont like as it takes up lots of boot space, and is heavier and more cumbersome to get out of boot than stroller. when going away the boot space is an issue on a normal day to day going shopping it is fine.

I havent used with double kit as currently only one child.

I have 2 friends with sports and double kit and both love it and a friend with vibe and double kit who love it

I've got the dash too. I recommend you go to the shop, have a look at one and measure it to see how much of your boot it will take up.
I personally think the jogger strollers are great for walking on sealed surfaces - footpaths & roads & at the shops etc. When we take ours off-road it feels a bit unsteady with the doubles kit on. (We've got the toddler seat on the front atm cause Phoebe is lying down).
But I like the P&T seating system - I didn't want a side-by-side one because Natty won't be in a stroller much longer, and when she's at childcare I can just have the one seat.
I find it easy to fold/unfold and the toddler seat is very easy to attach/detatch. I don't find it any heavier than the bertini shuttle I had before, but there are definitely lighter, more compact strollers out there.
Go have a look at one in the flesh if you can HTH.

My friend has one, but i just wanted other reviews as well

we have the phil and teds sport, i really love it. its a bit flimsy but i think it folds up easier and is lighter and narrower compared to other 3 wheel prams. the break can be hard to put on and off but that doesn't bother me. i haven't used the double kit on the pram yet, but you can also use it as a bouncer/chair, which is what i do. i find it easy to push, although i use a mclaren stroller for quick trips. but saying that i do only have one bub at the moment, not sure how it would go with 2 kids. we also choose it because at the time it was cheaper than others we were looking at, and that was a deciding factor for us.
i think its best to go and have a look and try a few to see if you like it.
overall i'd give it a 7/10
goodluck!

Thanks guys, Im contemplating whether to buy the cocoon or not he is already 13.5 weeks so theres probably no point is there?

Hi

I have the Phil and Teds Classic

Re the coocoon I wouldnt buy one, we didnt use one after 3 months with both our girls, just use blankets or a sleeping bag?

Bootspace - takes up 1/2 my boot (have a mazda 3) - hard to get in and out of my boot as its a sedan

Pushing - great - turns one handed when u only have 1 child in there.

double seats - do you mean toddler seat? when baby is in newborn position and toddler seat up top it ok depending on how much your toddler weighs. Julia was squashing Tara's legs for a while there as she is 15kgs. Also hard to get to the basket at the bottom of the pram

Flimsy? - not at all we have had ours for 3 years now and nothing has ripped or broken.

Lightweight - not really 11kgs is not lightweight after we have been using a Maclaren stroller thats 6.5kgs

Overall rating - meeh 6/10

pantwearer we only used our cocoon for 4 months - ds was a small bub - but it was great, i would even put him to sleep in it on the kitchen bench when we were at home, lol.. and great for going out or visiting friends.

Prob not much point in paying that money for one then, Harrison is already close to 8kg and 64cm so he probably already wont fit lol

[jamakin]

yep, i wouldnt waste your money! wait till next time
ds is only 8.6kg now! so i could keep squezzing him in it for a bit longer and get my money's worth!
