(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this stroller with the doubles kit, as #2's arrival is imminent.First of all, Phil and Ted's supplies the world's worst instruction manual.It's poorly written and illustrated, and the design does not lend itself to using your intuition to put it together b/c there are so many different ways configure this stroller.That leads me to the best feature of this stroller.It is highly functional.It allows for single stroller use as well as use with an infant + toddler and use with two toddlers.I was disappointed to find that for a three wheel stroller, it is not nearly as easy to push and maneuver as the BOB.It is stiff and tends to tip when trying to turn sharply.I know my BOB is a single stroller without all of the functions of the Sport Buggy, but I guess I am spoiled by how easy life has been with BOB.I've had no problems steering my two year old with one hand while steering my dog's leash with the other hand.Unfortunately, it hasn't been easy with this buggy.I expect the Sport Buggy to be more difficult to maneuver as I add the weight of another baby to the stroller.However, I need to be fair and highlight that this stroller will carry two kids instead of one, without the added bulk of a full double stroller.I am hoping that over time, its functional features will outweigh it's limitations.Pros: double stroller capability, single stroller width, adjustable handlebar, easy to access undercarriage when in single position, easy to operate harness, both seats can recline, easy folding mechanism, relatively lightweight, streamlined design.Cons: cannot maneuver with one hand, sometimes difficult to steer with two hands, cramped undercarriage when in doubles position, foot brake is difficult to access in doubles position and is also difficult to operate regardless of stroller configuration, canopy is short and doesn't provide as much coverage as I'd hoped.
UPDATE: after using the stroller with two kids, I've found that it is actually easier to steer with added weight and a slight adjustment to the handle bar.I've only used it in the setting with the infant laying flat thus far, and it has been working out well.It can fold while in this configuration, which is nice, but it does make the stroller heavier.I now have the pannier bags b/c of the cramped undercarriage storage.The bags are great.I leave one on the stroller at all times, and I keep it loaded with diapers and essentials.The other one comes with me into the house, and I load it with snacks and whatever else I need on a given day.It's nice to know that I don't have to carry a diaper bag with me.There's enough gear with two kids, and this way I don't have to remember as much.

Product Description:
The new 2007 Phil & Ted's Sport stroller has made a good thing even better! The Phil & Ted's Sport Buggy has kept all the great features of the popular e3 model, including the adjustable smooth swivel / fixed wheel design and single action dual-rear brakes, but also includes many innovative additions that won't leave you guessing why it's called “new and improved”. The Sport is the perfect stroller for any growing family, as the Phil & Ted's Sport Doubles Kit easily clicks into place so that this stylish single stroller can quickly accommodate another child. The adjustable padded seat allows for comfort and ideal positioning for infants of any age, ranging from a completely flat bed for newborns to an upright chair for toddlers. Fact is 75% percent of families at some stage will have 2 children less than 3 years apart. At that time they are going to need one buggy that caters for two children. The Sport, coupled with the available Phil & Ted's Sport Doubles Kit, allows you to carry one or two children and saves you the high cost of having to purchase another double buggy when number 2 comes along. Weighing only 24lbs, the Sport is an extremely lightweight and maneuverable stroller that gives parents the freedom to take advantage of the all-terrain design.
