When I was looking for a buggy for my first child, I was told to look at the Phil and Ted's stroller. This was told to me by a guy that worked at one of the most popular baby stores in my area, and he worked SPECIFICALLY in the stroller department.
Why did he recommend the Phil and Ted's Strollerto me? Because at the time, it was 2003, there was no other stroller that was a combination of a single stroller with a jogging stroller. I was not a real exercise lover at the time (keep reading) and mainly wanted something that could get over my bumpy sidewalks, didn't have gargantuan wheels, was lightweight, and could get into the doorways at the mall.
So we purchased the Phil & Teds Classic Buggy, Black/Charcoal and used it for at least 7 years. That's pretty good for a stroller don't you think?
Let me start with the Product Features and then I'll go into a bit more detail as we go along.

I am a big fan of the phil & teds brand. It's so innovative and makes it easy to grow with your family. I actually have the phil & teds classic v1 stroller in red (so not exactly this one) but I have really enjoyed using this stroller. We purchased the doubles kit in advance even though we haven't used that part yet because we only have one child as of now. Their are so many options with this stroller which makes it so nice to have and use. For one, it reclines fully so your child can sleep in it with it flat. It also can work for a newborn since it's lays flat. It also has a large basket so you can fit a diaper bag in it. I can hang things on the bar of the stroller without it falling over (some other strollers I've tried will tip).
My big dissapointments with this stroller are: the folding system, it folds down great but the way it folds causes the handle bar to get scraped on the ground. It's difficult to prevent it and because of that, it's gotten scratched up a little...Read more

I wanted to like this product, but after a year I can honestly say that this has been one of the worst purchases we made for ourselves and my son.
The Pro's:
Simple easy to use design.
Cheaper than the BOB or Uppa Baby strollers
The Con's:
The plastic wheels basically blew out when I inflated them to specification. I used a pressure gauge and everything so I knew I was doing it correctly. The plastic wall on the rim just simply could not handle the pressure and bent outward. Now I have this silly looking uninflected wheel everywhere I go.
Bulky design, not easy to fold and take with you
Very little padding making for a less than comfortable ride.
front wheel doesn't lock making it impossible to move at a good clip
No cup holders. It seems like this would not be important, but everybody knows that walking in the heat requires a cup holder. How this was missed is beyond me.
