Do you know if any improvements are in plan to readjust or “fix” the foot brake on the Sport? It is almost impossible to unlock it with my foot. I always have to bend down and use my hand to unlock it.

Hi Katie,
I do think for a 2-year age spread, the P&T is the best option on the market, if you want something narrow. My kids are 23 months apart, and we got very good use out of our e3. Hope that helps!

Hi!

I am interested in the P&T sports. I bought a Triton Trekker 5 years ago for my son and only used it a couple of times because it was heavy and bulky and didn’t fit through the checkouts properly. I now have a 17mth old and a baby due in June so was wondering if you thought this is the best 2 child pram on the market before I go wasting $800 again!!

Thanks

Hi Christie,
The P&T is definitely lighter, narrower and feels slightly more compact than the Mountain Buggy, but if you’re only planning to use it with one child, I personally prefer the Mountain Buggy. I think it has a smoother ride and more responsive handling. I also find the recline on the Mountain Buggy to be more convenient than the one on the P&T, though the P&T goes completely flat. The car seat adapter for the Mountain Buggy is better designed and easier to use than the P&T. My advice is, if you think you’ll eventually use your stroller with two children, choose the P&T, otherwise, stick with the Mountain Buggy.

I’m currently looking at 3 wheeled strollers and am looking for something compact, light and convenient. Interested to know how does Phil & Ted compare to Urban Mountain Buggie, which is at least $200 more?

OOH I’m so excited to see the GT with my own eyes, to feel it and to testdrive it!!!!
I have the E3 V2 and was thinking of upgrading to a Sport. But it wasn’t at all like the GT (more a bit improved E3) so I’m hoping to get the GT before the end of 2007…
I would even consider having another kid just to have an excuse for buying the GT… LOL

Thanks for your info!!!!!!!

Kindest regards,

I haven’t been able to get information. I keep trying, but I’m having no luck. As for the second seat weight limit issue, maybe look at a Valco Runabout Trimode. It has a toddler seat that fits onto the front of the stroller. It doesn’t recline, but it has a higher weight limit of 45lbs (over 20kg).

Is there any information about what weights it will carry? My concern is that my number 2 will be too heavy for a 15kg seat soon, my number 1 is already ~15kg, so she can’t use the toddler seat.
I’d love it if the toddler seat would carry more than 15kg, maybe 17kg, like twin prams.

Also, the GT, if it is released, which country will it be released in first? And when?

Hi,

I too will wait until the end of the year to see if the new model willl be released. I actually called Phil & Ted’s head office, and was advised that the GT model is still just a protype. It will be showed off at the tradeshow in September, but he didn’t know when it will be go to production.

Hope this info was helpful …

Hi Tracca,
Thanks for your comment – I’m reporting exactly what I was told at the JPMA show in April. Based on our last update from Regal Lager, the GT has been delayed, and will apparently arrive in the early Fall. The model I saw in April was most certainly a prototype. I’m sorry if I didn’t make that clear. From what we were told, the GT is on its way. I’ve learned not to count my chickens, though, so I’ll believe it when I see it. The best place to get information will be at the ABC show in Las Vegas in the beginning of September, so I expect I will have plenty to report after that. Don’t regret purchasing the Sport. It’s a great stroller, and it’s a bird in the hand…

Damn lol!!!
Just purchased the new sports typical timing grrrrr
Alsohad word from a reputable Baby Outlet, who informed me that they spoke to the “Phil &Ted” supplier and the model was just a Proto Type at a show last year?? And isn’t actually out, or looking to even be in the making as yet hmmm sounds a tad confusing – also referred to this Blurb being Published as very misleading information- and unfortunately can’t prevent such sites from making elaborate claims as such???

Now I’m even more confused???

Really just want to know if the new model exists and actually coming out??

I will check on the UK launch. As far as I know, they are still due to arrive near the end of the summer. I’ll see if there’s any new information…
