I previously owned the Phil and Teds Sport. Used it for a 4 month old and 25 month old. Was awesome, but needed some adjustments. In comes the Explorer! I love the canopy for the second seat. The foot break is FAR better then the previous sport where I was bending down to un lock it with my hand. I love that the front seat is adjustable. On the sport there are only 2 options... all the way up or all the way down. The only thing I dislike right now is the new way this one folds, but i think I only dislike it because I was so use to my other one. I was debating between this and the Britax Bready, but chose this because it seems more durable and has the plastic footrest. ALSO I didnt know this prior to purchasing, but the red seats actually come off for washing! So excited. Everything I would have changed myself they did! I just used it for a walk with my 30lb 2 yr old and 35lb almost four yr old and it's still just as easy. Will be great for when #3 comes along in Dec.
