Great Double Stroller!! March 29, 2008

I just received my Vibe in the mail yesterday and am already in love. I'm about to have two kids just 16 months apart and was thinking about getting the Sport, but I'm glad that I waited for this one to come out.
A few of features that really stood out for me as being vast improvements over the Sport:
-The Vibe sunshade is completely freestanding so that you can position it anywhere to block the light, even if you are walking directing into the sun. The sunshade on the Sport is very small and only protects the top of the child's head, if that (I've witnessed this with my friend's Sport)
-The brake is an easy to use red button on the center of the handlebar, very easy to put on, not too easy to disengage (a safety feature I appreciate). The brake on the Sport is down at the back wheels and you need to use your foot (or sometimes stoop down to use your hand) to put the brake on and off, something I imagine would be only more difficult with the double seat attached.
-The footrest for the top seat is solid plastic, so it's much more durable than the fabric footrest on the Sport.
-It can be folded with the double seat attached. It is slightly more complicated to fold it with the double seat on, but I figure I'm saving time in the long run, since I don't need to remove the seat before I fold, have to deal with a separate piece to store, and then just have to reinstall the seat the next time I open the stroller.
Some other pros:
-Easy to fold. It also locks closed, so it won't spring open on you as you put it in and out of the car.
-The recline on the top seat is very adjustable, so you can set the child in any position they'd like.
-The wheels are nice and big, so they glide smoothly over any bump. My old stroller was a Bugaboo and when the little wheels were in front, it was constantly catching on the cracks in the sidewalk.
A couple cons:
-It isn't very maneuverable, at least compared to my Bugaboo. I imagine most jogging-style strollers would have this problem, but I can't say if this stroller is worse than others that are comparable in design.
-It doesn't come with a full sun/bug shade or rain cover, so that's an additional expense.
Overall I'm very happy with it, for the short time that I've owned it. I love the fact that this stroller is no bigger than a single stroller, but as soon as my new baby is born, I just need to clip in the extra seat and I can push them both! I'm also happy that I can get many of the high-end features I've gotten used to with my old Bugaboo, only in a double stroller (including an easy brake and great looks!). I would highly recommend this stroller with the doubles kit to anyone with two children.
