Advantages: versatile and snug Disadvantages: could be a little more structured
I bought the cocoon to go with my phil and ted sports buggy (with double kit) and found it to be very useful not only to add comfort to the buggy but also to use on its own as a carry cot. It fits into the buggy when it is in the complete recline position and is useful because you can move the baby from the buggy without waking her/him. The see through panel at the rear of the pushchair means that you can see the baby in the cocoon and can remove it from the front or the rear. The velcro patches helps the cocoon stay secure within the buggy but there really is not much room for it to move around when placed in the buggy so it is quite secure. I used my cocoon with the double kit and found that it fits snugly inside the space between the extra seat for my toddler and the main section of the buggy. The baby is very well sheltered but also ...
Advantages: inline pushchair, good looks, easy to manouver Disadvantages: expensive, pump up tyres
When I found out that I was expecting my third child I decided that I would need a double buggy as my 3 year old is quite a monkey and we walk near a busy road daily. I know that at the age of 3 most children are walking but I think that it is best to keep your child safe.
My partner and I tried so many pushchairs out but none were suitable for a 3 year old and a newborn baby. It was either that my child was too big or the pushair was too big to fit on pavements and through doorways etc.
We looked at the Phil and Teds Sport model but the seat that you attatch to the top was just too small and my daughters head was above the hood (not a good look).
Finally we went too a small shop and found the Phil and Teds Vibe model. You can purchase this pushchair in two colourways the first is all black and the second is black and red.

Advantages: brilliant steering, great range of products, stylish Disadvantages: occasional flat tyres
everyday and I manage it easily although if I had chosen a different buggy it would have been a different story.
There is a safety cord in case you decide to go jogging with the buggy (it fits around your wrist and stops the buggy if it starts to run away from you). The brake is very secure and can be hard to remove at times. The hood fastens down with poppers and there is a fold up flap to enable you to see the baby if the hood is up.
The age range is birth to around 4 years. The buggy lies completely flat and a newborn can lie in it with or without a Phil&Teds cocoon.
It is easy to fold up and fits in most car boots (apart from the mini), there are only two catches to push to open or close.
Currently on Kiddicare.com the buggy is £339.97 including the raincover and there are various deals available with different retailers depending ...
