I had the Sports and didnt like it. Well, it was great for 1 child but when i had 2, DD had reflux, so laying down the whole time as a newborn meant she cried the whole time. There was no way to slightly raise her up even as the main seat levels was adjusted by clips. Also, having the toddler seat on the front , as DS was a big he would always look like he could fall off when he was asleep. As for the break, i would have to use my hand to lift and put it down it was soo stiff. And the amount of nails i broke due to that damn thing!
So i now have a Vibe. AWESOME! DD now sits up but the main seat is adjusted by a strap, so you can raise or lower it however much you like. The seats are ALOT wider than the sport, DS now nearly 4 fits in them with room to spare. The break is a button! So easy to put on. Definately would recommend. Spending the little extra in my eyes is well worth it.
My kids head would hit the back of the Vibe seat and it doesnt lay back very far. as the dash and sport do.. so if you kid is average height or shorter.. my kids 19 months apart it didnt work.
I have the Sport and love it. The fact that yes, the the brake is hard to activate to me = it means it roll away from me in a hurry ;-) So I like that it is hard to use.
Putting it together was an epic journey though - but pffft, how many times do you actually pull apart the entire pusher and put it back together? We never have as yet.
A Pro is that it is soooo easy to get parts if you need to online, not having to go through a manufacturer - you can do it online in a few seconds.
We have a 17 mth gap between DS and DD and it's perfect for our needs as its so adaptable. I can zip thru crowds at the shopping centre as it steers so smoothly and easily...a big thumbs up!
I have the Dash and althought i'm yet to use it with 2 kids im pretty happy with it so far. It took a while to get used to the brake on the handle but its all good now. THe only pet peeve i have is the sun shade thingy - i hate how you cant just pull it out and back, you have to pull it out and press stud it and when its not in use it just kind of flops there (i hope i am making sense lol). Its highly annoying. I have aslo found that with DS in the toddler seat when its on the front (was testing out al the possies before buying) the shade when pulled out was just about hitting his head. I;m also yet to find the perfect pram but for my needs - this came close enough.
I have the Vibe and adore it.
Yes the toddler seat is a bit small, but I found my DS worked his way around it fine and has no issues. I actually have my 8.5 month old in the toddler seat and my 3yr old in the main seat. I love how you're able to have the seats in a few different ways which is really handy.
Have the Vibe.. LOVE it!
21 months gap bewteen my kids who are both very tall for their age and no probs at all.
Not too worried about the lack of storage.. I got the P&T bags (saddle bags? Can't remember name) and they work well, although I find I have enough room in my nappy bag to store things anyway, adn I don't generally go shopping on my own but that's because of how far we have to travel to go shopping (200km round trip).
Such an easy to use pram, so light, and my mechanic husband is very impressed with the general set up.
Would def recommend to someone who wants a small age gap.
