Phil & Teds is a stroller company based in New Zealand that debuted in the early 1990's with an all-terrain stroller called the Explorer.
Phil & Teds referred to its strollers as "inline buggies"---these strollers have the ability to add a second seat under the main seat (or inline). The company explained the concept on their web site:
We drew inspiration by the good ole kiddies trikes, where one kid always playfully stood in the back. We saw potential to bring this way of kids play to life, and make this a real handy solution for parents as they go about their adventures with kids in tow!
In the late 1990's, Phil & Teds expanded into the US and European baby gear markets.
In 2009, Phil & Teds purchased fellow New Zealand stroller company Mountain Buggy and still operates that as a stand-alone brand today.
Phil & Teds was named for famous kiwi birds at the Auckland Zoo (Philomena and Teddy); kiwis are flightless birds that are endemic to New Zealand.
All Phil & Teds strollers are made in China.
