Does anyone know where in the UAE you can buy accessories for the Phil & Teds double strollers? Both my rear tyres blew yesterday and I am stranded with a 2 1/2 year old and 5 month old!
PLEASE help me find some new tyres!

the inner tubes of P&Ts are actually a standard size and so any good bike shop with have them. ;) GGP, get anything you can in the UK before you come over - packing light is all very well and good, but on P&T bits, it's twice the price over here... alright, that sounds sensible. let me know if there is anything i should pick up for any of you guys (with regards to phil and ted bits). Honestly, if you're shipping your stuff over, fill an entire box with wet-wipes, sugar-free calpol, the nappies you like, everything. Wet-wipes are about £2.50-£3 for a pack of 80, sugar-free medicine of any kind, you just can't get and nappies are just extortionate and poor quality (although I am happy with a brand here, but not a patch on Tesco's or Nature's Baby!). Hoover up summer clothes to last the next year for your kids, buy crocs from SportsDirect in the next couple of sizes up... if you do all that, no kidding, you'll be saving yourself a few hundred quid. thanks, will do!

Go to Wolfi's Bike Shop of Sh Zayed road. They've fixed mine a few times. They'll do it while you wait.

Bartty if you get stuck or have to wait for them to be shipped let me know. I have two spare rear tyres that you could borrow while you wait. I will prewarn they have been filled with foam so they do add weight to the pram but better than no pram at all.

I always get my tubes for my Phil and Teds from Goodbaby (there near Bur Juman) I dunno if anywhere else stocks the tubes. GGP - I would get the suncover where you are if possible, I've not seen them stocked here for the Phil & Teds and I had to buy mine when I was visiting the UK.. this was 4 years ago tho and the Phil & Teds wasn't that popular here yet, so things might have changed.

Bumble Bee in Dubai Mall and Goodbaby sell the P & T, but not sure if they stock extra parts. You could try ebay and get them sent out...maybe shop n ship?
