I have PandT sport with a 2.5 year old and a 1 year old (used from second LO's birth).

Pro's:
- both seats recline enough for my children to sleep comfortably for normal length nap
- panniers make it no wider than a side by side double IMO and are the best purchase I've made ever I think! No words can describe my relief at not carrying a nappy bag or shopping/picnic on a day out!!!!
- extremely light to push even with both my above average weight children in
- easy to collapse and set up (my version has to have second seat removed to collapse but its sooooo easy!)
- big basket in single mode, not great in double mode but the pannier bags more than make up for this
- second seat is roomy for coats and shopping if not in use
- straps very easy to adjust in height and length unlike my other buggy and stroller which are a horrendous faff to alter the height on!
Simple to use (my friend has icandy pear and this is a palava to assemble and takes up her whole boot due to the separate seat units)

Cons:
- due to the three wheel design when going up kerbs it can be tricky til you get hang of it to keep buggy straight
- air tyres so beware of punctures and worth investing in kit and small pump
- larger child has to sit in front if there's much of a weight difference between yours once they're both in upright seats so if the older one wants to walk you have to either move smaller one to front seat or just beware of counterbalancing the weight to prevent tipping

Overall I definately rate my PandT highely and would be lost without it...it has some aspects I'd like to change but then other doubles like the icandy pear are the same so none tick every box! I wouldn't pay full price for it though as you're far better off getting a good condition used one off ebay and saving about £500!

Just google phil and ted 'saddle bag' and it will come up. They are bags that strap either side of buggy

I've never had any trouble getting mine up the kerb and my kids weigh 25kg in total...the verve has four wheels which would make it easier to steer in my experience.

We have the sport and like ours. Iit's the older model so doesn't have the sunshade which goes over the front, but does have a slight recline for doubles seat. Perhaps we're not super picky, i don't know, but happy with our purchase - the only pram we've had

Pannier bags work a treat for us... no need for a nappy bag for us. they're massive - one pannier for nappies, wipes, clothing, food etc, the other for a big bottle of water for me and the rain cover.
