i had an out n about nipper 360 double-sold that before baby was even born as i thought i wanted the vibe-i didnt like the colour of it so went for the pink camo sport and i adore everything about it! the cocoon in newborn/toddler mode is meant to face away from you so when your looking down you can see your babies face! im a pramaholic and i love the sport so much i sometimes use it as a single! i get so many great comments when im out with it too, its just so light & easy to use xxxx

Hi, just like emma, I too have the Vibe and I love it. it's a lot bigger than the sport and there's a lot more room for both children. I don't have Ethan facing me either, he can see me and I can see him perfectly well. Ava (21 months) loves being in the high seat, she gets to have a good nose about.
Now that Ethan's 3 months old, I've started to put him in the seat at the back and let Ava ride up front in the main seat - but only for short journeys with him still being so little.
Emma, you're so right about not being able to show off your latest addition, however, I love the confused look on ppls faces when Ethan's crying but not being able to see him, they automatically look at Ava - who's face is dead pan so who's making the noise? It's as if they think Ava's doing a real baby cry then pretending it wasn't her lol.
The Vibe is a substantial amount more in price but worth it if you're looking for comfort. We tried out the Sport, purley for financial reasons but when Ava sat in the extra seat at the front, the hood sat on her head when it was open and she's only a titch too.

Hi
I have a Phil and Ted Vibe (not sure which model u have) and I love it! ds1 is 16 months and loves riding in the front up high, he seems very comfy in it even when hes asleep. Ds2 is now 7 weeks and seems very comfy underneath. I use it with the cocoon, my only fault with it is the cocoon isnt very long and ds2 is a long baby and has just about outgrown it. I love the fact u can look down and see ds2 while u walk. Ive never tried to put ds2 facing me, I just leave him facing forwards and I can still see him and he can still see me (even tho I would look upside down to him, lol). I do miss people commenting on the newborn tho as no-one seems to know I have another one in the back, when ds1 was tiny I used to love the attention of a new baby but dont get that this time as people only see ds1 unless they stand right behind me, lol. I have no problems getting ds2 in and out as I just slot him through the space in the back and hes fine(am too lazy to take ds1s seat off at the front, lol). Sorry this wasnt much help but have had no problems with mine. xx

hi is anyone using this for newborn and toddler and how are u getting on with it , as my 17 month old does not seem to enjoy being in front seat he cries as if hes un-comfortable and even though hes only 27 lbs there doesnt seem to be much of a gap between where his seat ends and her legs are , also are you using cocoon as am finding is impossible to have her facing me as she would be suffocated by double seat and getting her out is an effort as at funny angle trying to get her out and if try getting her out while in coccon her head is bashed about trying to lift it out and the sides suffocate her when you try to lift it up







I had the E3 V2 which was fab and now have the Vibe and it is even better!!! I also have baby facing away and she is quite happy with that. DS2 loves being up front, especially as he was youngest when I had E3 so he was always in back. He calls it his rocket pushchair!!
Would not be without and sometimes use it as single if I am out with Lily on my own.. That is only time I have cocoon facing me. My Lily is 14 weeks and still plenty of room in it.
