Phil and Teds Vs Icandy Pear!


Time too get serious I NEED too decided!!!

I have an Icandy Apple at the moment which i have full intentions of keeping which does this.....(for people who havnt seen them both!)


I have the Maxi cosi car seat which fits on it and the carry cot + a lovely blue footmuff!
Magic thing about it is it does this.....
(carry cot at the back, normal seat at the front)

and this....two normal seats

and this...car seat + normal seat...


Realy it does everything you could want a pram too do + i'd only need one frame= less space taken up! altho space isnt really an issuse!
Anyway for the doubles kit its pretty expensive - now i COULD afford it but id rarther spend less and get other things i need too If you know what i mean? i know you can sumtimes buy them on ebay for less but its rare that there on! so if i got one it would probably be an ebay jobby because its almost £700 for the whole lot what i would need! The down sides too the pram are...Its really heavy! + the seats arnt very big on it! apart from that its pretty much perfect....

Or theres the Phil and Teds ...most people know what that looks like ..

thats it basicly! things i dont like about it are theres no foot muffs! so when charlies sat up on the top and harrys all snuggled down below charlie might get cold! + you cant have them facing you! BUT its nice and light, folds small, doesnt take up too much space and is pretty much the most popular double out at the moment so there cant be too much wrong with it! i dont like how u have the newborn tucked away underneath i like too show my new born off!! i do like the style of it when you have too two normal seats and its not as crammed as the pear + its like £200 cheaper!

I dunno i cant make my mind up! i keep going back too the Phil and Teds but i just dont know! i think i keep going back too it because i think its the easyer option but pfffft Help meeee

the icandy is nicer, my phil & teds is heavy & it doesnt fold small at all. I dont like the phil & teds for a summer baby either coz i reckon the newborn will get hot under the toddler seat!!!

One thing i would seriously recommend is test driving them both with charlie in the front seat and go from there. MY double felt so easy to push with no children in but when you put kieran in the front seat it was a nightmare

I think the phil and teds might be the better option if you can cope with having no where to put your shopping?? x

Iv tryed pushing them both phil and teds is easyer but just because its lighter, if i got the phil and teds id get the sport which is alot lighter than the vibe and folds smaller well its just smaller all around, i can cope with having no ware too put shopping, i have shopping hooks anyway, im still just a bit worryed charlie will get cold in it!

i will most likely sell my phil & teds in a few months when Roxie is big enough for a buggy board. They seem to get a good price on ebay, i paid £570 brand new for everything, including cocoon, doubles kit, raincover etc so hopefully if i look after it i will be able to sell it easy. & i got the tyres reinforced to prevent punctures!

i wanted the icandy peach blossom but my hubby said no!
