If you’ve read one of my Phil & Ted stroller reviews you’ll know that Phil and Ted have quite an innovative way to upgrade and expand the effectiveness, the utility, if you will, of their strollers. Phil and Ted have developed an impressive line-up of stroller accessories. If you haven’t read, for example, about how you can expand a Phil and Ted stroller into a twin tandem stroller, check out my review of the Dash stroller.  In that article you’ll also read how you can significantly expand Phil & Ted strollers’ storage capacity.

When you take a look at Phil & Teds accessories list you’ll see an impressive list of Infant add-ons, storage, seat liners, stroller covers and travel accessories. To help you navigate all of these options, I’ve created a summary of the stroller accessories:

Especially for Infants

Snuggle & Snooze sleeping bag is made from rip-stop material, it keeps your child warm and cozy in cold weather. When the weather has taken a turn for the worse… your child will be warm and cozy in his or her sleeping bag.

Peanut is a convertible bassinet which can be converted from a at-home bassinet to an integral component for your Sport, Dash or Hammerhead stroller. When your stroller has its seat fully reclined, the Peanut safely snaps into position for a snug ride. The Peanut works with both a custom fit rain cover and a UV mesh sun cover.

The Cocoon is an ultra-light carry cot and stroller bed in one. Place it into a fully reclined seat – it fits into all Phil & Ted inline and twin strollers. It has a pair of carry handles, so leave your stroller outside and carry your sleeping child into a restaurant or shop without waking him or her.

Stroller Storage & Bags

Bac Pac x is a clip on stroller storage bag that can be easily removed and converted into a back pack.

Blazing Saddles is a strap on stroller bag that mounts onto the sides of the strollers. These side bags are just like the saddle bags you see behind a cowboy’s saddle. The Blazing Saddles bags have a large internal pouch, an internal pocket and an outer mesh pocket.

Shop & Drop is parcel tray storage bag for small miscellaneous items, and toys. Clip-on buggy storage & clip off back satchel Attaches to any buggy and can double as an adult/child day back pack. Includes nappy change mat…

Hang Bag & Belt fits onto your Phil & Ted stroller handle or it straps onto your waist…. its a fanny pack.  It holds items like snacks, toys, keys and a couple of bottles.

Base Bag is an axel mounted drop & go storage container for Phil & teds inline strollers.

The Tote is a thermally insulated container that holds up to 4 bottles. It keeps your drinks and / or your food hot or cold. It has 4 zipper pouches and an extendable shoulder strap.

The Mini Diddle is a compact-sized storage bag that doubles as a back pack. It has padded sides which make it ideal for carrying laptop computers. In addition to having the ability to safely your laptop, it can carry a change of clothes, diapers, cell phone, keys, books, etc.

Stroller Add-Ons

The Tandem Stroller Conversion / Double Kit – allow you to attach a second seat behind your front stroller seat. It easily attaches so two children can comfortably stroll.

The Food Tray works with the inline Vibe stroller. The Food Tray zips over the Vibe stroller’s pull bar.

Thirsty Work is Phil & Teds frame-mounted clip-on bottle holder. It slides up and down the stroller frame for you convenience and it holds up to 1.5 L of your favorite beverage.

Seat Covers / Liners

Sponge Ted is a soft & absorbent seat liner for your stroller and car seat.

Wooly & Warm is a luxurious lambskin seat liner. It keeps you child cozy in cool to cold weather.

Buggy Bunny is an all-weather seat liner. It’s reversible – fleece on one side and cotton on the other… Buggy Bunny keeps your child comfortable throughout the year.

Stroller Covers

Stormy Weather is a custom fit all-weather cover that protects your children when the weather takes a turn for the worse. Stormy Weather is both windproof and waterproof.

UV Sunny Days is a custom fit mesh stroller cover that protects your little ones from insects and, because its UV protected, it keeps your children safe from the harmful rays from the sun.

Travel Accessories

Up & Away is Phil & Ted’s stroller travel bag. What makes Up and Away unique is that it works like a wheeled golf travel bag… just grasp the handle and roll it along – the strollers rear wheels double as the travel bag’s wheels. Remove and store the wheels inside the bag when it’s time to check the bag at the airport.

Travel System lets you move your child from to and from your car / stroller without waking your child.

Summary

So to summarize, Phil and Ted have invented some really cool, very innovative strollers… and they didn’t stop to rest on their laurels. They’ve invented / designed very innovative… very clever, actually accessories that will let you customize your stroller to meet your specific needs.

The Phil & Ted Dash stroller sports the same keen functionality as their more ‘entry’ level strollers – the Classic and the Sport… but the things that set this stroller apart from Phil and Teds other strollers are its higher-end features including the addition of a padded covered bumper bar, extra storage and the high-end water resistant rip-stop materials that’s used with the canopy and seat.

Phil and Ted call this stroller the “Active Urban Inline Stroller” because the Dash stroller is really a hybrid between a stroller and a baby jogger and, as the name implies, the dash stroller is built for parents who “dash” about with their children.

Phil & Ted Jogging Stroller

The Dash stroller from Phil and Ted has 3 large wheels, for stability, and it has never-flat airless rubber tires that insure a smooth ride. The Dash stroller also has other great features like a large under-seat storage basket, a behind the seat storage pouch and a sturdy steel frame. When combined, all of these features give you a lightweight stroller that you can use around town, in shops and on crowded sidewalks, and these features also give you a stroller that you can use on your morning runs.

A feature that comes standard with good quality baby joggers is a hand operated brake that, very similar to bicycle brakes, uses a cable system that slows the rotation of the wheels. This feature might not seem like much, but if you’re jogging down a hill and if your baby jogger starts to roll faster than you can run… you’ll thank your lucky stars that you have this ‘simple’ hand brake.

Phil & Ted Double Stroller

And, finally, like most of Phil & Ted’s strollers, the Dash stroller has the single to double stroller upgrade capability. This feature lets you attach a second seat to your single stroller – this is an ideal upgrade for a growing family. The second seat add-on, which is sold separately, comes in a kit with detailed instructions – so it fairly easy to securely attach the second seat to your Dash stroller.

Why is having the upgradable seat option so important? Because, all too often, young families have to replace their original single stroller when their second child arrives. Phil & Ted strollers is the ideal, innovative, alternative for these families, instead of replacing their single stroller… they simply add the second seat – this is, by far, the most economical choice.

About Phil & Teds Strollers

Phil and Ted strollers are located in New Zealand where they build cribs, high chairs, baby carriers and strollers.  Given New Zealand’s diverse terrain and weather, it’s the ideal place to test and refine baby products. Phil and Teds team has a great sense of humor – and a great sense of design. Their accessory list is quite impressive.  And Phil and Ted take their baby product very seriously:  “we’re dead serious about creating the best baby gear for today’s parents and their little hobbits.”

The folks at Phil and Teds believe that children’s products need to meet the needs of modern parents without compromising comfort, safety and style. Phil & Teds modular strollers, for example, look great, they are quite practical and easy to use and they can be easily converted from a single stroller into a double tandem stroller. It’s this type of breakthrough innovation that will distinguish Phil & Ted for years to come.

The Phil & Ted baby product company, based out of New Zealand, has assembled an impressive line of products that include high chairs, travel cribs, baby carriers, travel systems and baby strollers. Phil & Ted are known for their fun and exciting products that make sense.  “Make sense” what does that mean? Let me explain.

Picture yourself the mother or father of one young child with another child on the way. You already have a single stroller and you’re wondering “what on Earth am I going to do?” “Sell this stroller and buy a double stroller?”, “Keep this stroller and buy a second stroller?” So what makes sense?

Phil and Teds have built a really cool looking strong / durable single stroller that can be easily converted into a double tandem stroller.  Problem solved. Let me elaborate… When you buy a Phil and Ted Stroller, in addition to getting a boat-load of accessory options, you get a second seat kit option. This second seat is easily installed behind the front seat… turning this single stroller into a double tandem. With the Phil & Ted Sport stroller you don’t have to worry about trading in your first stroller and you don’t have to buy a second stroller. Now that makes sense.

Some of the key features you’ll find in the Sport stroller are a fully reclining seat that is compatible with infant car seats, this stroller also has a removable canopy that has a peek-a-boo window and flap so you can keep one eye on the road and one eye on your little one. In addition to these features, the Sport stroller from Phil and Ted has height adjustable handles, a compact fold, dual foot actuated rear brakes and a sturdy steel frame. Lets looks at a couple of these features in more detail…

Reclining Stroller Seat

The Sport Stroller has a seat reclining system that can be adjusted with a strap – it gives you finite control over the angle of recline, from fully upright to completely flat. When fully upright your toddler can take in the view and can enjoy the ride, and when fully reclined, your toddler can snooze his or her little heart out. What’s great about the fully reclined position is the Sport stroller’s ability to accommodate infant car seats that securely snap into position for a safe stroll.

Height Adjustable Stroller Handle

Not all parents are the same height… this is obvious. So why should all strollers be the same height? Well, they shouldn’t and Phil and Ted have thought of this. With the Sport stroller you get a handle that can be configured into eight height positions which makes it ideal for most parents – short or tall.

The Phil and Teds baby product company offers six different strollers. These strollers meet the needs of most parents, whether you’re looking for great value, off-road durability, or luxury, Phil & Ted most likely have the stroller for you.

I have been writing health and baby product reviews for over 4 years and the thing that I like about my job is when I discover a new product line that resets the standard in quality and durability, and it’s really cool to find a company who has raised the bar, so to speak, with innovation.  Phil & Teds, based out of Willington New Zealand, has got my attention.  They have created a line of products that really set themselves apart from other baby product manufacturers.

Stroller Innovation

A great example of Phil and Ted’s innovation can be found with their inline attachable seat.  All too often parents, when their second child is born, have to sell their first single stroller because they now need a double stroller.  This process is a hassle and it’s expensive.  Wouldn’t be great if you could simply snap on a second seat onto your single stroller? You can do just that with Phil & Ted’s strollers – snap on a second seat and keep using your favorite stroller for years to come.

Key Features

As I previously mentioned, the ability to add a second seat to a single stroller is a key feature, but in addition to this functionality, Phil and Ted give us height adjustable handles, multi-position reclining seats, modern canopies with peek-a-boo windows, an innovative one-touch ‘Intelligent Handle’ for easy fold and breaking, Infant car seat carrying capability, a bumper-bar for child safety, high quality rubber tires for a smooth ride, swivel wheels for maneuverability and an impressive baby travel system. In addition to all of these features, Phil and Ted have also compiled a long list of pretty amazing accessories that, when combined with the strollers themselves, will most certainly meet the needs of most, if not all, new parents.

Phil & Teds Product Line:

Phil and Ted offer a full line of baby products:

• Pushing – Phil & Ted’s primary and most comprehensive product line… To say that they offer strollers is an understatement.

• Feeding – Phil & Teds have figured out a way to make feeding our children a lot easier and a lot more fun with their line of high chairs, travel high chairs, folding / travel high chairs and a really cool invention called the Wiggle Wrapper that allows you to safely secure your child onto your lap or in a regular chair for feeding, and the Wiggle Wrapper can be used to secure your child into a regular bed when (while traveling) a baby crib is not handy (Oh, how I wish I had a Wiggle Wrapper for my daughter 6 years ago).
• Carrying – If you are looking for baby carriers that allow you to carry your child on either your back or on your tummy Phil and Ted deliver. They offer two lightweight backpack-like carriers, a strap-on front baby carrier, and a couple innovative diaper bags that are built to either carry or to attach to their strollers.
• Driving – The Phil and Ted product line would not be complete without products for automobile travel… and they haven’t disappointed us. Their driving products include a rear facing infant car seat and infant car seat carriers, a forward facing toddler seat and child car seat, a convertible car seat that transform from car seat to booster seat and they offer a very unique and practical child travel system where you can either clip your child carrier into your car or into your stroller.
• Adapting – What would a fantastic line of baby products be without a complementary line of innovative accessories?  Phil & Ted have thought of everything from drink holders, stroller covers, travel accessories, bassinet liners, food trays, tote bags, diaper bags and the list goes on and on. So how can one get excited about accessories?
