I had the pleasure of meeting with the Phil & Teds team yesterday to view the brand new dream double pram; the Promenade. It’s the high-end, fancy-schmancy offering from the company that first brought you capable inline transportation for two kids. In a first for Phil & Teds, the Promenade can be kitted out for twins!
It’s packed with new features such an extendable sun canopy, velcro-less viewing window (how many times did I wake my babies with that velcro noise!), one-hand triple recline and airless EVA tyres. The real clincher here for me is the all-in-one seat-slash-bassinet – no expensive add-ons to buy, just release a few clips and the seat becomes a bed!
You know that awkward phase that happens around three to four months where baby wants to see the world but he still needs to sleep often? He can ride facing you or out, and when he drifts off, just turn the seat into the bassinet. It has an amazing telescopic handle so your stride isn’t compromised even when the pram is fully loaded – here it is below in twin newborn mode.
The two, inline flat beds are a first for Phil & Teds and opens the brand up to the world of multiples. I can almost hear you asking “How much? What else?” so here are the particulars:
$169 for additional seat
$80 for Sleep Bag
$60 for Cocoon
9kg capacity for each seat in bassinet mode
18kg capacity for each seat
5kg capacity for underbasket
Swivelling belly bar for easy access
Folds with seat attached
Seat liners to be released next year
Available in black
Will be compatible with Maxi Cosi and Safe n Sound Unity capsules from next year
The Phil & Teds Promenade is now available for pre-order from Minimee. They are offering free delivery on stroller orders until 18 December and the Promenade will start shipping from January. Pre-order your Promenade and doubles kit from Minimee before the free delivery offer runs out!

I love this it reminds me of the Mima. Does this work for newborns and toddlers? Thanks.

oooooohh Where can I pre orde this from???
Hi Jewels – the link is at the end of the article for Minimee’s pre-order page. Let me know if you can’t find it. Cheers Suzi
Love the whole idea, the bassinette to seat concept is why i bought our first pram- who wants to store a bulky bassinette?!
Like you said, so many questions:
Does this one fold with 2 seats…what positions can you put the seats in…can the seats face each other???
Love that the tyres are now eva tyres, however, they do look very low profile, does that mean a bumpy ride when off pavement?
I would love, love, love to test drive this pram!!!
Yay Phil and Ted
Is there any room for shopping bags if I have a toddler and a newborn?
Geez – is it normal that ive looked at this page and tried to see if theyve announced a winner way too many times… Its a perfect mix of practical and style….
I’ve checked this stroller in a shop. It’s unclear to me how the front wheel suspension works on this stroller. It doesn’t move at all. Is it just the slight use of the spiral that they call suspension? There is also no way the wheel could move to absorb the shock. The back wheels are big, that helps but it’s unclear to what point. The whole thing tested looks cheap to me. There is also a noise the end-aluminium ( expandable ) handle makes constantly when pushed. Like the 2 peaces don’t fit perfectly together.
However the manouvrability is great, the size great, the space under great in single mode of course. I love this stroller compared to any other on the market right now. However the wheels and the handle are weak points.
