 Very impressed Mar 20, 2008
By F. C. Buys
I had a good look at this stroller today at Buy-Buy Baby and I must disagree with the previous review.
I think this is probably one of the best strollers on the market.
I found the fold easy and compact for a jogger type stroller. It is much lighter than the sport, very good looking and I thought the brake was the best brake ever seen on a stroller.
Here is my summary:
Pros:
Very versatile
The build quality looks excellent
Easy fold, compact enough by any standard
Super smooth ride
Excellent brake system
Large basket
High carry capacity
Good looks
Cons:
The doubles seat installed at the back is very close to your knees when walking and you end up extending your arms to prevent hitting it.
The handle only adjusts up or down, no telescopic adjustment, making the problem above worst. (I am 6'1'')
Once folded there isn't a strap or handle to pick the stroller up with one hand and it is still fairly heavy.
The wheels can puncture.
Both seats can only face forwards.

We got our Vibe yesterday and we are very happy with it. I did a lot of research and believe this is the best stroller on the market.
There are a few important things to note however, since the manual is useless.
1. The wheel covers must be clipped-in properly otherwise the wheels won't go on easy, and they will touch the covers affecting the steering and making a noise. Many reviewers complain about this, but I'm sure all of them got this wrong. After sliding the covers into place you have to push in at the bottom to clip them into place.
2. You should only lock the folding mechanism with the front wheel removed. I confirmed this with P&T. The latches will break. This is because it can't fold completely flat with the front wheel in place.
3. The handle-bar is most comfortable in the highest position and then the brake button is also more out of the way.
Also good to know is that the Graco SafeSeat Infant Car Seat in Soho fits perfectly on the grab bar, no special attachment required! We removed the soft cover from the bar to prevent it from being damaged. See the pictures I posted.
This really works very well.
Enjoy!

 Pretty good stroller Apr 11, 2008
By Bluesky

Compared to other double strollers available, this stroller is by far the easiest to maneuver, especially going up and down a hill with two kids of different age(1yr & 3yr old) and weight. Brake system is very simple to engage with just a push of a button, although I wish the company had designed it behind the handle so that it would not be easily bumped into. As far as disengaging the brake, I just have to press the palm of my hand on the brake release button. I did not have a problem of knocking my knees against the lower seat as I walked. I had pleny of room, but then again I'm only 5'4" and the handle was placed at the lower setting. The size may seem bulky due to the plush seating and the large wheels on each side that extend the dimensions to 25" in width (1 inch more than the sport buggy), but it's not any bulkier compared to other single jogging strollers. Overall, it's a pretty good stroller for what I need it to be. The vibe is definitely not an easy stroller to travel with, you just can't throw it in the trunk of the car in seconds and go. Folding the vibe is cumbersome and the lever on each side of the stroller is impossible to lock down! That's pretty much my only gripe other than the price, but that can't be helped due to the product being so new.

This is a quality stroller !! Apr 01, 2008
By Kristina
I just ordered a vibe and have to say I love it more than I thought I would. I have been shopping around for a double for my 1 1/2 year old and his 3 month old brother. After seeing how large and heavy most well built doubles are(needed large wheels to handle snow) I decided to spend the money to get a double that won't take up my whole car. The fabric and padding is super plush, the under basket is large and study..in fact every part is well built and sturdy. I can tell I will have this stroller for years. The fold is a bit tricky (like most doubles, will require some practice) but not impossible...and I like I can leave that second seat on. Meets all my needs and looks great....and came out of the box smelling like a new sports car. :)

Good for city strolling - light and durable Jun 10, 2008
By Greens808
We've used the Vibe for the past couple of months with our kids (3 year old and 7 month olds) to much success in Manhattan with its bumpy streets. The stroller handles well, especially on the curbs given the large well base and nice turning radius. Ride is smooth and comfortable for the younger kids, though for taller/bigger kids the stroller feels a little small in both the front and rear seats. Our 3 year old is in the 90 percentile in weight/height.
Biggest selling point is that the Vibe is amongst the lightest of the double strollers, and it does fold with the double kit attached (albeit it helps to read the extra manual on Regal Lager's website). It fits nicely into a NYC taxi trunk, though it is not as easy as a single stroller - but that's not why you'd buy the Vibe. Handle locking system is "okay" - if you set the handle bar height higher it doesn't lock up by accident so quickly. The one-button stop does come in handy. Would not recommend the Vibe as a single stroller given limited storage, more complicated folding system, and the bit of a bulky feel.
Overall a light, functional, and stylish stroller for multiples at a price.

Great double stroller!!! May 19, 2008
By Daddy's Sugar
I've owned the Vibe for almost a month now and I'm absolutely satisfied with my purchase.
PROS: Rides smooth, easy steering, convenient break system, lots of wiggle room on top seat (and bottom but more on top)
CONS: Price point and the folding/unfolding of stroller. However, with more use I've gotten better and quicker at folding and unfolding. It's not as convenient as the one-push button on my Eddie Bauer stroller, but considering that it is a double stroller with additional conveniences, it's not a big deal to me.
Overall, I would highly recommend this stroller. I've found no significant difference in trunk space with this stroller versus my old one. This stroller just feels like a single stroller in all aspects . . well worth my money!!
