We just recently bought the Vibe. The price difference was only a few hundred dollars. We figured we'll be using the stroller for at least three years, maybe even longer if we have more kids (just had baby #2). If for some reason we don't use it that long, the re-sell value seems to be pretty good with the Phil & Ted strollers. So over a few years, what's a few hundred more dollars? The Vibe is a lot more convenient for travel--nothing to bring onboard the plane--with the other model, you have to take out the bottom seat before folding, and then store the seat. Also, the seats are more padded and more comfy, the Vibe is lighter, because it's an aluminum frame. One of the biggest features for us was the brake--everyone I know who has the Dash hates the brake which is located under the bottom seat. In the Vibe, the brake is on the handlebar, which is so convenient and, in my opinion, safer. (If the stroller should start to roll, how do you reach that brake way under the seat quickly???) For those main reasons, we decided to go with the Vibe. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I bought the Vibe because you can fold it with the double attached. I have a 14 month old and y second is due in July. we haven't used the double part yet but we both really like the stroller as a single. good luck!

Hi A.,

I have 3 children now, hence my triple Mountain Buggy Stroller! We sell tons of Mountain Buggy Doubles to expanding families. It is a durable, stylish, handmade stroller that fits through a standard size doorway believe it or not! You can also purchase the carrycot, which is a bassinet that attaches to the stroller... it is great for infants and also makes the stroller look really cool! When I had my third, I had the carrycot attached and people were in awe of the stroller! My husband and I take the stroller on casual walks, run, off roading, etc. The carrycot can easily be taken off to to place on a table at a restaurant or in your home if baby fell asleep on your walk!

Anyway, you should definitely check them out!

If we can help at all, please don't hesitate to call!

We decided to go for the sport one (it is arriving today), instead of the vibe because of the size difference, and price! But, if you do go for the vibe, get it here for $479 (instead of like 600-700):

(non-members pay an additional 5%). I think shipping is free too.

We got our sport for $299 from Costco (not available anymore).

I don't know anything about the dash, sorry.

I can't wait to play around with our stroller. We've tested them out at the store, and we just loved the sports one.

I looked at this one and felt the child on bottom did not get to see very well and that it was not very comfortable for that child. Well good luck! I decided on a side by side Combi - for alot of different reasons. I am satisfied with my choice but the bottom compartment is too small. But overall it is a good stroller. I have a sedan car so I had to fine one that would fit in my trunk......have fun!

I personally do not recomend the side by side stroller. They are impossible to take in the mall and shop with because of how big they are length wise. Also there is no room for storage for when you go out and need a lot of things, like change of clothes, diapers, your pesonal belongings....
