Farewell, my beloved Phil & Teds 'Sport'

I just sold my beloved Phil &Teds 'Sport' stroller on craigslist, it was time to let it go after 3 years of making my life a breeze with two kids, I have ran and sped-walked with it up and down the High Park hills (both kids included), taught extreme strollerfit classes, moved through mud, thick grass, gravel, sand and snow, bumped it up and down subway stairs, took it on trips, lent it to friends, filled it to the brim with kids and groceries, navigated crazy narrow isles of mom and pop grocery stores, took it on inaccessible busses and even streetcars (easily detach & attach one back wheel to get into a street car), saying that this stroller has served me well would be a gross understatement.... after all that love from me, my kids, weather, rough terrain and groceries, it's still in great condition after 3 years, I did have to replace one tire and fill tires with air a few times, but that's just maintenance.

Phil &Teds 'Sport' was the very best stroller on the market at the time for a person like me, who never sits at home, who thinks that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing and crappy equipment, there were other doubles on the market but they were all too wide (remember narrow store isles), too hard to maneuver with one hand with both kids in it, too gigantic all over, too uncomfortable for my kids to sleep in..etc..
I have very high standards when it comes to strollers, they're supposed to make your life with kids as easy as possible, if I can't EASILY get into a narrow inaccessible store with steps in front of it and those evil, double main entrance doors, it's not a stroller for me!  I was able to do that and more with my Phil &Teds 'Sport', I was also able to walk fast and push one kid in the stroller filled with groceries (saddle bags are a life saver!) up a long steep hill with the other kid crying in my arms and still maneuver the stroller with just two fingers. Another amazing and very important thing about this stroller is how much my kids loved sleeping in it, their naps were legendary, sometimes 3-4 hours, if you think the back seat (easily detachable) looks uncomfortable, just ask my 3 year-old for a personal review of it :)

I know it's silly and irrational to feel emotionally attached to an inanimate object and feel sad when letting it go, but I'm sure it went to a good home... Unfortunately Phil&Teds 'Sport' just got discontinued, the next generation model is called 'Explorer', which I bought 2 days ago for the (current and future) kids I have in my tiny (just 2 kids) home daycare, I will let everyone know what I think of it in a few weeks!

Thanks Phil &Teds 'Sport' for helping make my life with two kids enjoyable, seriously! No, I don't get paid for reviews  :)
