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.
Is there velcro sections on the pram and the cocoon to basically strap the cocoon to the pram? The shop assistant didn't show us any of that or tell us that was an option....
Mummy Tummy - Thanks! We have to go away to have our baby and am now wondering if baby could sleep in the cocoon for a few days after I'm released from hospital? We didn't buy it for this reason but thinking do we need to buy a portacot for this time or can we get away with the cocoon set up?
Child - Yes, the pram has D rings and the cocoon has velcro to loop through it (or the other way around, I can't remember now!!). Some sales assistants just don't know all the ins and outs of the equipment which is why sites lik this are handy because you find out about it all from people that actually use them.
Ellee - Absolutely. I pretty much used the cocoon non-stop in those first few weeks. He was comfy and cosy and warm in the cocoon and I just put him down somewhere safe wherever I went in the house. We even put it in the middle of us in our bed on the odd occasion too. In these first few weeks it is far more convenient to have them in a portable carrier to keep them close-by.
I bought the Phil and teds vibe black/black...I am so so on it so far. I too had the wobbly wheel and they sent a new frame but the same wheel. The wobble is gone for now. I love it that is so slick and compact holding 2 children. I walk a lot....today I tested out the new frame walking does anyone have the problem where the stroller sways back and forth if you are power waling with the stroller? I also tried using the mesh sun/bug shield and I am not sure if I put it on right cause it wouldn't snap closed and it make the sun visor collapse on my daughter three times. Suggestions please!!!!!
Anyways how does everyone like their vibe???
I wish the bob had a tandem stroller but for a compact stroller I think the phil and teds is the best...there is no way I want an oversized side by side stroller.
