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!

    • Fair points, not arguing with you on them.  What people forget is that immigrants or low skilled workers do the jobs the home population don't want to do and without those jobs being done, things very quickly grind to a halt, i.e. hospital cleaners, all very necessary, but I'd have thought the majority are on minimum wage. And Minimum Wage (35hrs/wk) isn't exactly what I'd call minimum. Just over £21K, easily double and a bit more than what I get in monthly pension income to live off.
    • Well he couldn’t deliver anything better than a poor brexit. Because no such thing exists 
    • Fair points jazzer. But it begs the question, on what information are people basing their opinion? because if it’s x or the right wing media the of course they will believe nothing has happened but people who claim to be motivated by rising immigration numbers are either ignorant of or don’t care the those numbers have dropped significantly since Labour got in Hospital waiting lists are finally showing improvements after years of getting worse people on minimum wage are better off We haven’t had a random general election or new prime minister just months after the last one  compare that to Tory chaos Important relations with other countries (important for long term trade and growth) have improved under labour given the size of the mess they inherited it’s far better than many give credit for  and the prospect of a Badenoch and/or farage govt returning us to the chaos of last 10 years? No thanks (I could do a long list of things Labour have done wrong or badly but that’s for another thread. I did not vote for Labour, but all things considered they are a massive improvement on what came before. Unfortunately we have a bunch of far right agitators kicking off around the country because they are cry babies which gives impression country is going downhill  when it’s really not)
