Why do people make these types of comments? (Uh, and how many do you have?)
As for the Phil & Ted's, I've heard a lot of good things about it, but mostly from moms on listservs rather than IRL. I also think it looks very cool, and I would have bought one after my daughter was born, but for not wanting to jinx anything by buying something for a second baby. The only negative points I have heard, though, are (1) that its size and weight render it a better neighborhood stroller than trunk of the car stroller, and (2) that as the toddler gets heavier, it seems like the lower seat might become uncomfortable.
As for point (1), there is no magic bullet stroller anyway, so later on you could get a MacClaren twin or similar lightweight double once #2 is old enough to sit up in it; and as for point (2), that may just be projection of an adult's idea of comfort and the kids don't really care (which some parents do report), and the real point of the double stroller for a toddler/infant pair is to have a place for #1 son to sit when he gets tired of running around.
