Durability of a Phil&Ted?

virginiamama85

For those with a Phil and Ted doubles stroller... I am looking at getting a used one off craigslist and can find some in the $150-$250 range.  My question is, if the stoller is already a few years old, is this still going to be worth it?  We are expecting number 2 and I imagine will get a good amount of use out of it.  Thoughts?  Opinions?  Reviews in general of a Phil&Ted?

It really depends on how it was treated. We recently upgraded from the Phil and teds sport that we have had for over three years to a navigator and our stroller is I almost perfect condition. We will be seeking ours for 350 however I have seen some people abuse there strollers those will not last long. If its in good shape then yes they will give you many many more years of life . Make sure you look at the strollers before buying them. Look for rips in seams , rust on the screws strollers left outside will rust easily and there's bound to be more damage if you see rust in the screws . Also look at the wheels . There should be minor ware on the wheels but if you see any kind of buckling around the rim then you know they haven't been kind to there stroller . All in all Phil and teds strollers are awesome and will last you forever if taken care of.

Ditto PP, if it was taken care of it will last and then some. Our Sport was over four years old when I sold it, the guy that bought it didn't believe me at first because it looked nearly new. We used ours quite a bit, but it was either in the van or inside, I didn't want sun fading or weather damage. We're down to a Smart stroller now!
