I took DP to check out the Dash as I was sold on it, 3 minutes later after pushing it around the shop he liked the vibe...so we ended up with the vibe. However would have been happy to get the dash. Also I got a great price on the vibe with extras. $899 plus it included the wind/storm cover, the sun cover, a food tray thing and a drink bottle holder for free (total cost $140) from smiths city in March. ]]> Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:07:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=720025&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#720025 <![CDATA[phil and teds dash vs sport model : We have just bought the P&T Classic...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=719951&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#719951 Author: Mama2two

We have just bought the P&T Classic double which is on special at a few places for $599. I am pretty happy with it. In a dream world i would have loved the Dash or even Vibe, but for us that extra few hundred dollars just wasn't justifiable for something that just 'looks' a bit nicer.

Sally, I won't use the Kiwibaby in Glenfield anymore. They don't have deals as good as the other stores and won't let you layby anything at sale prices. I think that is a bit of a rip off as all the bigger baby stores are happy to do that!]]> Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:23:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=719951&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#719951 <![CDATA[phil and teds dash vs sport model : Thanks for that tip weegee.

I'm saving for my sport. I keep going back and thinking maybe I do want a dash instead, but being 'visual' person that apple green wins me over. I hardly use the brake on my buggy now, only when I'm on a slope or I feel we are in a dodgy people area.

$200 to go the that buggy is mine. 

Question, does anyone know if there are any apple grafftti ones left. I had my heart set on one, but they seem to be disappearing from online stores. I wonder if BC still has any.

we have a red sports edition one and its over 2 1/2years old now
and nota a thing wrong, well apart from the stitching coming away from one of the inside zips - because the boys like to keep zipping and unzipping it while there fat bums are in it grrr
fading... nope not so much! and you can actually unscrew the whole thing and it scrubs up very well and looks brand new
we are looking at getting a new one once bubs is born so I think we will stick with the sports edition


ohh and we dont have a car so it is used practically daily! a very good pram, can get it off and on busses with ease, quite lightweight and can push it with one hand and still steer it

I am pleased I went with the dash ahead of the sport. One thing that annoys me on ours though is the sunshade. Whenever I get the buggy out from being in the car the sunshade has always come to bits and is a pain to get back on again. I still don't like the buggy as much as my mountain buggy but for two kids it is pretty good really. It is definitely growing on me.]]> Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:25:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=708416&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#708416 <![CDATA[phil and teds dash vs sport model : we cant compare it to the MB but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=708146&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#708146 Author: angel4

we cant compare it to the MB but we also went into the shop planning to buy the sport and came out with the dash. I couldnt work the break on the sport with sneakers on and thought it would be a pain with the toddler seat on anyway. Plus all the zips to lower the main seat seemed a pain, the draw string type idea is better.
We havent yet tried it with two babies but cant wait lol. ]]> Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:29:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=708146&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#708146 <![CDATA[phil and teds dash vs sport model : Hi, Just bumping this thread up...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=708131&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#708131 Author: emachan

Hi,
Just bumping this thread up as I'm considering a P&T Dash - but have read some pretty bad reviews online :(

Just wondering if anyone else has compared the dash with the sport?

I really don't want to give my MB urban elite up - but with bubs #2 on the way - we have to upgrade and I want a buggy which is just as good as the MB but can fit 2x kids!

We have the e3 with toddler seat, and having seen the sport and dash in the shops,...I would so go for the dash. Love how the seat adjustment is by a pull cord and not zips, the zips arent annoying tho, but the pull cord would be easier. And love the braking system in the dash rather than foot peddle,..the peddle can be a bit hard to get to when u have the toddler seat on at the back, or even when the main part is in the flat newborn position.]]> Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:04:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=414837&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#414837 <![CDATA[phil and teds dash vs sport model : I would go all out and get the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=414570&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#414570 Author: NeoshasMummy

I would go all out and get the VIBE, the dash was cool and would be my next option but it's really handy to be able to fold the whole buggy down without removing the seat beforehand. As for the brake I couldn't even get it to work in the shop lol it was really hard but DP did... stronger grip maybe?? The sport comes in a good variety of colours though. Oh and laying the seat back is much easier in the DAS it doesn't have the zips just a pully thingy.

I went shopping to buy the sport, and hadn't even considered the dash, but bought the dash!! The little things all add up I think to make it worth the extra $$$ Love the brake being on the handle, have heard that the foot brake on the sport is really hard, near impossible if you are wearing jandles or something like that, though have heard that it gets better with use. It has infinate recline instead of only 4 (I think) positions with the sport. It has plastic in the footrest instead of fabric, have read that older kids can press down hard enough on the fabric to make the wheel stop and it eventually rips, they cant do that with solid plastic! Love the extra padding too.

Thanks guys. That is such awesome feedback. So interesting about the brake. I found it REALLY hard in the shop. Maybe the dash is the way to go. I did really like the dash. (DH doesn't like the extra $200 bit though!)]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:24:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=413343&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#413343 <![CDATA[phil and teds dash vs sport model : The brake on ours is a PITA too,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=413342&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#413342 Author: Maya

The brake on ours is a PITA too, It works well, is just a mission to get on and off.]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:23:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=413342&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#413342 <![CDATA[phil and teds dash vs sport model : Oh Peanut Thats shocking.

Just be careful buying thru winkalotts. I brought my sport buggy thru them and have had a couple of probs with it so had to courier it back to them. They have now had it for 3 weeks. I have been ringing weekly to find out whats happening and keep getting told they will ring me back and let me know...still waiting. In comparison a friend her brought her sport thru Baby City and they gave her a replacement buggy and she had her buggy back within a week. The problem with both were the zips on the side so thats worth noting and also the brake is a huge PITA!]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2008 17:08:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=413269&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#413269 <![CDATA[phil and teds dash vs sport model : Deez Thats ok i was told the same...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=413260&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#413260 Author: AandRs_mum

To be honest yes i do think its worth buying the dash. But maybe get it from winkalotts they are $720 thro them with free shipping. I didnt relise so brought mine at smithcity. I am just being fussy about the buggy not folding with the seat on it because it honestly take about 5 secound to put the seat on. The toddlers seat also reclines abit for sleeping. The foot brake on the sport is well knowen for being abit stiff. I love that the dash has the brake at the handle just by pulling the handle down. The dash i felt is alittle nicer to push altho the sport is great also. They are both prity light which i love. Also the other great thing about the dash is that it folds with buttons at the handle no bending down. Gosh i think i am talking myself into keeping it which DP will be happy about lol. I can put some pics up tomorrow if you would like. Let me no if there is anything ealse you would like to no :)]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2008 16:55:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=413260&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#413260 <![CDATA[phil and teds dash vs sport model : Ooops sorry thats what i was told...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=413218&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#413218 Author: Deez

Thanks heaps A and Rs mum! You've had both - perfect person to ask! That was so helpful to read. I can see the appeal of the Vibe for the folding with two seats. Such a shame the dash doesn't do that isn't it?
Do you think the dash features are $200 dollars worth more feaures than the sport? Happy to pay it if so. Was the dash any easier to push and manouevre than the sport?
In the shop I found the foot brake a bit tricky on the sport model but I wondered if it was just a bit faulty from being in the shop. My mountain buggy has the foot brake and I have always found it fine. How did you find the foot brake on the sport model?
And one last question (sorry!!!!!) how much of a pain is it to fold up and put on toddler seat separately? ie would it take 15 seconds or so once you know what to do?
I really appreciate your help. Thanks.

o also the dash lays back mech easier. It has a pull string thing and not zips. Th zips are harder to undo with a baby in the buggy. I have had both buggies. The sport is still a very nice buggy. The dash is just a step up and nice padding.]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:00:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=413201&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#413201 <![CDATA[phil and teds dash vs sport model : I have a dash model here we brought...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=413199&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#413199 Author: AandRs_mum

I have a dash model here we brought it about 3 weeks ago i think. They are a great buggy. Heaps more padding than the sport. They lay back more. You pull the handle that you push down and thats how you lock the brake. It has lost of pockets to store stuff and a big basket under it. The dash does not fold with the toddlers seat which we were told it did so we are taking ours back to get the vibe. I would keep the dash if it did fold like that. But the toddlers seat folding with the pram was the only reson we got the phil and ted.

I think with the new model you are able to put it down with both seats attached instead of taking top/bottom one off...thats what i understood when i went looking....but again the assistant didn't really know to much about the prams]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2008 14:02:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=413176&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#413176 <![CDATA[phil and teds dash vs sport model : Hi, I just looked at a Phil and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18246&PID=413158&title=phil-and-teds-dash-vs-sport-model#413158 Author: katie1

Hi, I just looked at a Phil and Teds dash model today for the first time. I liked the look and feel of it but the person in the shop couldn't really tell me anything about the features etc. I also looked at the sport model.
The sport model was $599 and the Dash $799. Has anyone had it explained to them what the extra features are? I looked on the website but I didn't think it compared them all that well. Is the dash supposed to be any lighter?
Has anyone brought a Dash model or even looked into it? Can you shed some light?
Thanks heaps.
