I do love it, but yes I have had issues unfortunately!
There is a design fault, which I have been led to believe is now fixed on all prams, where the wrong sized bearings were put on the front wheel causing it to wobble. I got my pram a week after it was released so they discovered this fault after I had bought it.
I sent it away to get fixed but they didn't fix it properly and it came back with really heavy steering. I sent it away again only to find I had the wobbles back a week later. They have now replaced my whole frame so basically I have a new pram, just my old material parts and back wheels. They replaced the whole front wheel too. So far so good
The thing that I love the most about is also the thing that some people hate about theirs which is the brake. The button is in the middle of the handlebar and is so effective that by accidentally pushing the button the pram stops dead causing the driver to almost trip over in to the pram!! I love it because I live in a very hilly area and I wanted to be able to have easy access to the brake and know it was effective. But it is almost as easy to release the brake as it is to put it on so it doesn't bother me when I do accidentally put it on while walking along!!
I also love the hood. It is a great size and being able to flip it forward and back I can shield my baby from the sun as I change direction without needing to put the sun shade on. Such a small thing, but when my pram was off being repaired I had a few loan prams and this was def the thing I missed the most after the brake.
The pram is large, deep and comfy so will fit Jett until he is no longer needing to be in the pram. It also has the option of the doubles kit that can remain attached while the pram is folded.
So yes I would recommend it, but if you get those speed wobbles on the front wheel do not hesitate to take it back until you are fully satisfied that it has been fixed!
Glad to hear that despite the troubles you still recommend it. We too love the sunshade angle feature and also that the height is adjustable so if toddler seat is onthe front then can still make sure covers head height. Thanks for your feedback - really appreciate it
We have purchased the Vibe - Black/Black, I recently wanted to change it to Black/Red, However, we were told black/red is currently not available and it is the supplier (P&T) who have requested no orders be made for black/red, possibly not going to be available for a few months.
Q. Anyone who has already purchased the Vibe - Did you also purchase the cocoon? Can you have the cocoon facing you or does it have to face the other way?
I ordered the P&T vibe red/black model online and apparently it should arrive towards the end of the week. Also, they reccommended that I get the double uv/storm even though won't be using the double kit for some time as the cover will go over the back also.
I have the double storm and double sun shade too. Why buy the single when you might need to buy the double later. Makes money sense and it fits just as well.
Childondaway - That peanut is still coming so no one would have it yet, but it looks cool! There is a few new products on there that haven't made it to the shops yet. I have my eye on the lobster, but that has been coming for about a year now!!
I also have the cocoon and yes I used to face it in both directions. They also tell you that you should velcro it in, but I never bothered. It doesn't slip anywhere and let's face it, those babies are not wriggly and mobile enough to tip it out. And unless you plan on getting that pram on severe angles it isn't going to fall out. If you velcro it in you can't remove the cocoon without disturbing the baby which kind of defeats the purpose!
I can recommend the cocoon though, it is so light and having the soft sides makes it easy to carry around.
