Months of Research, Many Strollers and a GREAT Decision (For Someone Who Walks a Ton and Also Uses a Car)!!,
November 8, 2010 Caroline kiker - See all my reviews
This review is from: Phil and Teds Explorer Stroller with Doubles Kit in Black (Baby Product)
My Boys are 19 months apart, I am 5'9" and our family does lots of walking, traveling (car and airline). We have a large Standard Poodle that rides in car (Acura MDX) My goal: ONE STROLLER
After having way too many strollers (details in bit) and disliking most of them for some reason or another (except Bob Revolution Single), I decided to fork up the money and invest in the Phil and Teds Explorer. I live in Portland, OR and do a lot of walking on and off paths (big key factor). I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED my Bob Revolution Single, but needed a double when my second got too hard to carry in the carrier for long distances. My final decision was between the Britax B Ready and the Phil and Teds Explorer (will explain below).
Strollers I Have Owned and Reasons Why I Disliked Them:
JOOVY CABOOSE ULTRALIGHT - small wheels and mainly, I thought was hard to maneuver especially with the position of handle GRACO DUO SIT AND STAND - Maneuvers better than Joovy...Read more

This review is from: Phil and Teds Explorer Stroller with Doubles Kit in Black (Baby Product)
Several years ago I saw a woman jogging with a Phil&Teds Sport stroller with doubles kit. Never having seen anything like it, I knew I wanted that stroller when I started my family. So while pregnant with my 1st child, I ordered the Phil&Teds Sport. I loved it mostly, but had a few complaints. Several months ago I realized that Phil&Teds had just come out with a new stroller that fixed all the complaints I had with the Sport. I promptly sold my Sport and purchased the Explorer and have been thrilled with my stroller ever since. Here are the things I love about the stroller:
- it's a jogger stroller just in case you might ever want to run with it (front wheel can swivel or lock)
- it has substantial wheels that will easily roll over any terrain (and glides like air on smooth surfaces)
- it has a second seat that can be added when you have a second kid******* (prob the best feature!!!!- you won't have to buy a new stroller when you have your 2nd kid!!)
- even...Read more

Phil and Teds Explorer: A Love-Hate Relationship,
October 8, 2011 James Williams "Captain Jim" (ATA, FL) - See all my reviews
I'll start by saying I first ordered a Phil and Ted's Classic stroller, but sent it back. I cringed at spending the difference on the Explorer, but wasn't at all happy with the base features of the Classic (which, although called the "Thrify Inline" is by no means cheap). I have only had my Explorer stroller for 2 1/2 months, but have probably pushed it over 100 miles during that time...including up and down many curbs, through sand, through fields, and on normal sidewalks and roads. My husband compares this stroller to a BMW--it is a luxury item, but has quirks. I really hope my quick synopsis of things I love and hate is helpful for those considering this purchase.
LOVE:
Awesome to be able to get two kids in a stylish stroller and avoid having a "double wide."
Due to the inflatable tires, this stroller is a dream to push, even with kids in both seats.
Lots of room in the storage compartment.
No flat tire yet even though I've been up and down lots of curbs...Read more
