Twice now I’ve had people tell me that I’m stupid for buying
the pram I have. Ok so they didn’t
exactly say stupid but they were extremely rude and professed that their
beloved Phil and Ted’s doubledeckersqueezethebabyunderneath pram is far
superior to mine for a toddler/baby combo. Their argument is that
you can’t go anywhere or do anything with a side by side pram like mine because
it doesn’t fit through a door or ....well anywhere really. Ummm....it is the width of a standard door
(and a wheelchair!) and most shops in this day and age allow people into
wheelchairs into their shops!

| Best. Pram. Ever |
 |
| Thingy. |
My pram is super light, super sturdy and super easy to
fold. It is fantastic for twins or a
baby/toddler combo. It has heaps of
storage and you can balance two of those little red shopping baskets on top. You can fit 12L of milk in the storage
underneath! You can steer it one handed
while holding a child on your hip with no problems (essential!!!). Yes, it is wider than the Phil and Teds
thingy. The Citi Mini is 76cm wide and
the Phil n Teds is 64cm wide. But, the Citi Mini is only 12.1kgs and the Phil
and Teds is around 13.8. The Citi Mini is much easier to fold (so I've read, I’ve never folded a Phil n Teds) and has
two wheels at the front which makes it much sturdier. I know neither of my children would’ve been
happy to be one stuck in that space down the bottom of the Phil n Teds
from ummm...probably 5 months old! Also – I would’ve further aggravated my
already painful back injury trying to get them in and out.
Here ends my completely biased comparison of the Citi Mini
vs. Phil n Ted’s thingy. Now, the
Baby Jogger Citi Select and Bugaboo Donkey didn’t exist when I bought my pram so I would seriously
look into that those ones if you are a mum looking for a double pram but....just by looking at them they don't seem to be as leightweight and easy to fold as my beloved pram :).
I guess what really upset me was just how
rude these mums with the Phil n Teds pram were....seriously people – get over
yourselves – it’s just a pram!
