I have two P&T sport buggies. Well, one. I sold one earlier today, but just bought another one from Costco. But I really am interested in the Vibe.

Marilyn doesn't carry it, so I can't go try it out. I can't find much online in terms of people who've owned one. I like not having to remove the bottom seat to fold, and the fold is much more compact, but I don't know if it's worth it. The fold looks fairly complicated, so I don't know if it'll be easier/faster than the way we have it now.

Does anyone have one? What do you think of the fold?

I don't know anyone who has one, but you could always come up here to Fairfax to buy this one (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/bab/1183898023.html), which is for sale on Craigslist. I know how much you like Fairfax. :p

Eh, I'll save my murderous rage (and $130) and buy it from Costco.

In fact, I bought the $300 sport from Costco. After selling my other one. For $300. Used. And people were jumping on me to buy it at that cost. One girl offered me $350 but I just couldn't do it. Dang, maybe I should buy a bunch from Costco and mark them up $100.

I thought about that too. I bought a classic a month ago and sold it on CL for $325 so that I could get the sport which will be $327 after taxes from Costco. I have not delivered the Classic yet and I am worried that she will figure it out. At least Costco has a great return policy.

I have seen a Vibe in person and love the look of it and am interested in seeing the fold in real life. Don't know much more about it though.

yeah, at that price I seriously thought about buying both, then deciding which one I liked better, and selling the other on CL at no loss.

Finally decided the sport would be enough for me, plus I heard the toddler seat is smaller on the vibe to allow it to fold. My 1 yr old is on track to be very tall, so that cinched my decision. Plus, even though it's lighter, it's wider, and I heard some people had some trouble fitting in tighter places. Since this is my "tight places" stroller, I went with narrower/taller seat. The vibe does have a nicer sun shade though.

I have heard complaints that the fold is complicated and has to be "just right" to work, other wise you have to unfold and start over.

I can't wait to get my sport!!

Costco has an awesome return policy if you don't want to have to sale them on CL. You can return in store. That was my selling point.

The fold is really simple once you do it once or twice. You unlock the bottom seat and push it under the top seat, then you undo the main lock and it folds. You do have to push the handle down to snap the locks close. The only thing I don't like is the front wheel has to lay a certain way to close. It is very easy to unfold too. I am really happy with it. If you want I can take pics but it will be after the boys go to bed. Just let me know what you want to see

And the sad thing is that there are people who will do no research and buy them at that price.

Mine is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow and I don't get to play with it until Monday!!!!

I played with the Vibe a month or so ago. I loved the look of it, but didn't like the feel of it. It didn't seem to manuever near as well as the sport. I am trying to grow feelings for the graffiti as it is $150 cheaper than the charcoal I really want. :whistle:

I really wanted Lime or orange anyway so I got the Lime Grafitti. I figured that I can make a liner for it if I decide I don't like the grafitti. The price was just too good to pass up for the stroller that I really wanted in the first place when dd was born!

Yep, I almost got the green from albee baby a month ago but kept delaying. I'm not a fan of the graffiti at all, but I also got the green one from costco and figured I will love it despite the pattern just b/c of the price!! I do :love: a bargain!!
