Twin Jogger Stroller
Phil and Teds Twin stroller Charcoal
At first, Phil and Ted’s decision to introduce a side-by-side twin stroller was a mystery to us here at JoggingStroller.com, as their most excellent e3 Explorer already had the ability - via a simple attachment - to function as a double, tandem-style stroller. After some testing of the Phil and Teds Twin , things started to make sense.
Phil and Teds has decided to run with the e3’s success by taking some of the best features of the e3 and applying them to their new Twin Stroller. The result is one of the roomiest double strollers on the market, able to accomodate children as tall as 45″” - or even taller if you remove the sun canopy. And unlike the e3 Explorer , you can actually take both kids for a light jog with the Phil and Teds Twin.
Phil and Teds Twin Stroller has many of the great features of the e3 , such as a front swivel wheel that locks in place for better control when moving at higher speeds, only now there are two front wheels instead of just one. The handle height is adjustable, and the tires are air filled and have deep treads for traction.
The two seats have individual sun canopies and each have their own recline settings, so baby can sleep while your toddler sits upright, or vice versa. Toddlers love the removable front bumper bar, and, for a side by side double, the Phil and Teds Twin is narrow enough to negotiate most doorways. Couple that with full maneuverability and an easy folding mechanism, and you’ve got a twin stroller that will get you and two kids where you want to go without much hassle at all. Bottom Line: While the Phil and Teds Twin does have different recline settings for each seat, the lighter e3 Explorer is also able to handle two kids at once. You just can’t jog with the e3 while it’s in tandem mode. Also, the e3 rear toddler attachment, though very innovative and popular, only holds a child up to 33lbs. and does not provide shade for the child in the rear seat. Compared to the Mountain Buggy Urban Double, the Phil and Teds Twin is roomier, has seperate sun canopies, and folds more compactly. It does not have shocks, however. It’s also rather expensive, reflecting the cost of its point of production in New Zealand. If you’re looking for a side-by-side double of comparable quality, you may want to check out the Mountian Buggy Urban Double , but if you’d prefer an innovative tandem design, we recommend the Phil and Teds e3 with a Second Seat.
