Hi, I'm hoping for some advice.

I have a newborn and nearly three year old (but the todder is not keen on walking!)

I am looking at buying a Phil and teds with double seat.

But which model should I get?

I've heard good reviews of the dot, but today the shop told me I can't use the bottom seat until my baby is 3 months old. Does this sound right?!

In short could anyone recommend one model over the other?

I'd be very grateful for advice.

Many thanks!

Hello


It can be confusing as there are so many models on the market! For the first eight months I carried my baby in a sling and had my toddler in a stroller. I used a Phil And Teds Sport for a while but found it was just too big for my needs (I use public transport every day.) I then decided on the Phil And Teds Navigator as it seemed to be the most compact and narrow of all the P&T models. So, I didn't start using it until my baby was much older but I see on their website that it has 26 'riding options' including toddler with newborn. Just google Phil And Teds Navigator and click on Riding Options. I have no complaints about it. Very easy to get on and off buses and trains. Expensive though! I got mine second hand from Gumtree.


Good luck!

I've had the Navigator 2 (which got stolen from my car), then a Sport (hated it so upgraded after a couple of months)and now a Dot.

I would avoid the Sport, either of the others are good but my preference is the Dot, it seems smaller (but still plenty big enough for my 3 year old)

You are welcome to come and test drive mine

I had a vibe and never really liked it, didn't compare at all well to my chameleon which I loved, but needs must!


I would go with a mountain buggy if I were to need a double again!


A friend had the promenade(?) and was very pleased with it.

I had a Vibe which I hated (too bulky, didn't go through doors etc). I now have a Navigator v2 which works really well for me. Initially I was interested in the Dot (the smallest / lighter), but I read bad reviews re the main seat being too narrow so I changed my mind. Good luck!

      Lexus Stolen On Melbourne Grove

      By Jojo_B · Posted

      Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo

      Milk delivery

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.

      Milk delivery

      Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too.

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      By Azalea · Posted

      This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
