I have the Phil & Teds sport buggy & love it! I'm 160cm tall & find it lovely to push. DH is 6' 4" & he can easily adjust the handle to suit him nicely.
I have had mine for almost 2 years & it has been a hard worker for DD & now being used for DS, DD is almost 4 & she still fits really well for when she gets tired.
I took it out the back, sprayed it with a hose & used a brush to clean it. Left it in the sun & it came up a treat! Fantastic pram.
Also my 73 yr old MIL pushes DS in it while taking a walk to the beach & she just adores the ease of it. You can turn the pram easily one handed etc
There are 2 things I would change on the P & T if I could....
To lay it down you have to unzip it, & zip it up to sit up. I dont like that much as it makes it difficult at times, especially as they get bigger/heavier.
I also dont like how the brake is so stiff, I usually end up using my hand to take the brake off. But with saying that, its a great strong brake that means the pram isn't going anywhere when its applied!
Overall I really like it. I dont think you will ever find a pram that is "perfect". To have a light pram (like the P&T) you have to put up with the zipper seats. To have the good suspension ones usually means you have to pull it apart to put in the boot etc (Like my emmaljunga, awesome pram for newborns but pain in the butt putting it in the boot! I've also seen mums pulling apart the bugaboo to put in their boot so you have the same thing there)
I think word of mouth recommendations is a great way to go, so asking on here is a good start but I strongly suggest you "test drive" the prams at the baby shop (folding, pushing, measuring to see if it fits in your car boot etc) before you decide. Remember you will be using it ALOT so it should be one that fits YOUR needs, not everyone elses.
Have fun choosing, it's so much fun when you get your pram home & start playing with it!!!
