I LOVE our Phil & Ted's. I got it when I was pregnant with my second so I could continue to hike while pregnant (I previously hiked with our 2 yo in a backpack). Its beemn a great off-roading stroller and now with two (my son is now 3.5 months old) its awesome. I take walks three to four times a week with both of them, its compact (fits in the trunk of my Corolla!) and quite convenient. My suggestions: get the panier bags (saddle bags) as when in infant mode its hard to get at the basket and when in two-toddler mode the second child's feet are in the basket. Also- the sunshade is quite small so I got a kidopotamus shade (attaches to ANY stroller) and that made a big difference on sunny days.to me it was worth the money to have the compact option as there's no way I could take a double-wide on most of my hiking trails.
