The Phil and Ted’s Version 2 Sport Buggy With Doubles Kit boasts of the following improved features:

• Ratcheting, adjustable ergonomic handle
• Velcro multi adjustable crotch strap
• Zipper Recline on doubles kit.
• Solid Axle.
• Quick release one touch hub wheels.
• Higher and easier to remove front bar
• Lower Toddler seat holds child up to 33 pounds.
• Toddler seat on top holds child up to 44 pounds.
• Main stroller seat holds child up to 55 pounds.

But are these new and improved features enough to make the Phil and Ted’s Version 2 Sport Buggy with Doubles Kit a recommended purchase?

What I like about the stroller:

• Quality of materials used

I think that the entire Phil and Ted’s Version 2 Sport Buggy with Doubles Kit uses high quality materials. The fabrics used to line the stroller are thick and strong and have good stitching.

The zippers, buttons, and hooks, aside from being durable, are all positioned in the proper places ensuring that they would not pose a safety hazard to the children in the stroller.

The frame of the stroller seems very sturdy too, giving you that feeling of safety when pushing the Phil and Ted’s Version 2 Sport Buggy with Doubles Kit.

• Storage space

The Phil and Ted’s Version 2 Sport Buggy with Doubles Kit offers a large underneath storage space that would help when you try to take everything that you need.

Things that it could improve on:

• Short handlebar

The handlebar of the Phil and Ted’s Version 2 Sport Buggy with Doubles Kit does not have a telescoping feature, which means that you can’t adjust it backward.

This becomes a frustration as it makes the handlebar hit the doubles seat when you set the Phil and Ted’s Version 2 Sport Buggy with Doubles Kit into the 2-toddler position.

• Cumbersome Weight

The Phil and Ted’s Version 2 Sport Buggy with Doubles Kit is a heavy stroller. It makes it difficult for moving in and out of the trunk of the car or the van.

This problem is magnified when you are using the doubles kit. I wish it could have been lighter so that it would be more convenient for us to take during our trips.

Bottom Line:

If you are looking for a stroller that can easily transform into a double when the need arises, then the Phil and Ted’s Version 2 Sport Buggy with Doubles Kit is perfect for you. Conversely, if you already have 2 kids and is planning to have another one in the future, then this is a great investment.

Dual jogging strollers are notorious for being very difficult to handle, Aside from the common issues with regard to the wheels that seem to plague all strollers, you would also have to contend with the added weight that the larger carriages that dual strollers have.

Stroller manufacturer BOB seems to understand this and tried to provide a solution through the BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller . This stroller prides itself in possessing smooth handling despite the dual load.

What  I like about the stroller:

For a double jogging stroller, I would say that the BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller is one of the best in its class. I like many of the features that it has, and here are a few that I would like to highlight:

• Large Sun Canopy

Especially when you consider that it is a double jogging stroller, the BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller has a very sufficient sun canopy. Unlike the other models that do not provide adequate shade for both of the people inside the carriage, the canopy on this model is able to sufficiently shade both of the children that are seating in the stroller.

• Great Handling

I have to say that the BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller is as good as advertised when it comes to handling. It is actually quite easy to turn on a dime, or maneuver around tight or crowded spaces. The Revolution stroller is also quite good when it comes to handling rough terrain.

I also have to commend the Suspension system that the BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller uses. Even if we pass through rough and cracked pavements, the kids inside the stroller are still comfortable and do not experience too many shakes.

• Good Seating space for both children

The common gripe with double jogging strollers is that they are not able to provide ample seating space for children. Too often the seating space is too tight and the children become uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller does not have this problem as it has ample space for both children. The kids would not feel constricted once they are in the jogging stroller.

What could be improved on:

While I think that the BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller is an excellent double jogging stroller, there is one thing that I hope they would improve on:

• Under the seat storage

While the under the seat storage provides ample space for all my items and packages, I have had some trouble with getting the items when I need them.

The positioning of the basket is not very conducive for trying to reach for items underneath the stroller.

I think that the BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller is as closest to the perfect double jogging stroller as there could be.
