Has anyone tried both of these? I cant decide which one we want! I havent had a chance to "test drive" the P&T but I love all of its features. And the BOB is awesome!
Im just looking at long term use. I figure if I bought the BOB, when we have another baby, I'll have to invest another $600 in the duallie. If I got the P&T, I could just spend $90 for the attachment to make it a double.
Here's what I am looking for:
easy to maneuver
easy to fold up
light weight
comfortable for baby
seat reclines back for when baby is sleeping
decent sun shade
all-terrain (although we wont be hiking over rocks, I would like something that wont have a problem going over dirt and rough ground)
decent storage basket (I know I wont find one as big as our travel system, but I def need some kind of storage underneath)
Can anyone tell me the pros/cons of both? Is the seat attachment on the P&T comfy for the baby?


i've been searching for that too. trying to figure something that will work with a car seat snapped in and then grow into two toddlers ;P
here's a convo from my ec board that might help!

so I *think* we have decided to go with the Phil and Ted Dash. I am sooo torn and I seriously never thought I would have such a hard time deciding on a darn stroller!
The main reason I like the Phil and Ted is because rather than having to buy the duallie and spend another $600 when we have another baby, we will just be able to add the attachment to the P&T. Also, the selling point for me was that I just really do NOT like the idea of a side by side stroller (duallie) I tried it out and I hated it. The BOB is only a pound less weight-wise but it seems like it's quite a bit easier to maneuver (only down side of the Phil and Ted). I also like that the P&T reclines 100%
At the store we're purchasing it from, we are getting the Dash (normally $550) at 10% off, plus the tandem attachment for free, PLUS an additional 10% back (in gift card form). So we will actually end up saving about $200! And without having to buy a second stroller with our second baby, we will be saving a lot more than that in the long run.
I am going to buy it this afternoon so if anyone has any last minute feedback, please let me know!
