A.P.
We just recently bought the Vibe. The price difference was only a few hundred dollars. We figured we'll be using the stroller for at least three years, maybe even longer if we have more kids (just had baby #2). If for some reason we don't use it that long, the re-sell value seems to be pretty good with the Phil & Ted strollers. So over a few years, what's a few hundred more dollars? The Vibe is a lot more convenient for travel--nothing to bring onboard the plane--with the other model, you have to take out the bottom seat before folding, and then store the seat. Also, the seats are more padded and more comfy, the Vibe is lighter, because it's an aluminum frame. One of the biggest features for us was the brake--everyone I know who has the Dash hates the brake which is located under the bottom seat. In the Vibe, the brake is on the handlebar, which is so convenient and, in my opinion, safer. (If the stroller should start to roll, how do you reach that brake way under the seat quickly???) For those main reasons, we decided to go with the Vibe. Let me know if you have any more questions!
