Parent reviews of the Phil&Teds Vibe 1

if you own(ed) it, own it ;-)
parents say thx^^

Very practical sibling stroller. Narrow - you can take it anywhere; inflatable wheels allow you to go almost on any terrain. Lightweight, the second seat (additional) is very easy to disconnect as needed, quickly folded and unfolded.

As the second baby sits by the shopping basket, it is not suitable for large purchases, it has to be solved by an additional bag. Adjustable parental handle, but only minimally - tall users may find it difficult. I really like the mudguards.

The shopping basket often gets dirty from underneath in bad weather, as it is stored really low. When a child gets out of the main seat, it always has to be braked so that the other child doesn't tip it over.

I am very satisfied with the stroller - and so are my kids ;-)

Your questions about the Phil&Teds Vibe 1

1)

Can the Vibe 1 be configured to rear facing seat position?

Hey, there,

The Phil&Teds Vibe1 pushchair can't parent face, no. The seat is not reversible, it will always be world-facing only. For the smallest babies, a carrycot or a car seat option (travel system) can be used. You will need adapters to attach a carrycot or a capsule, however.
