Can fit through doors, easy to put up and take down
Weaknesses:
Basket size, tyre punctures and bulky hard to fit in the boot
Easy to steer
Value for money
Easy to fold
Built to last
I got one of these for my 2 oldest children as they were 15m apart. I had side by side tandems which struggled to fit through doors. I had no problems getting this through doors and was easy to navigate, put up and down. I liked that the 2nd seat came out easily for when the 2nd child wasnt present which made the basket large. Barely any basket space with the 2nd seat. The tyres need pumping regularly and are a nightmare for punctures. The front wheel does unclip but still hard to fit in a regular size car boot. Although it had its flaws I would get another if I ever needed too and some doubles can be very pricey
I use this buggy for my 3yr old and 10 month old. It's so easy to steer and doesn't feel like theres 2 children in there! Great ride for little ones. My 3yr old loves how comfy and roomy the main seat is and my 10 month old seems happy in the sibling seat. Makes life with a baby and toddler a breeze! I feel I need to add it folds up smaller than my single pram! Great for fitting in the boot of medium cars (we have a zafira but with 1 seat down so 6 seats) it easily fits in the space where our 7th seat is
This is a fantastic pram, I love the fact it can be a single or double with the same small footprint. It pushes well but can be a little heavy to steer when fully loaded! Fantastic for newborn and older toddlers (I have a 3.5yr a 2yr and 7month old ) my only main issue is it’s quite heavy to lift in and out the car.
I absolutely love this pram for my two toddlers, it was so spacious and comfortable for them both to be sat in at the same time. It was lightweight and so easy to manoeuvre. We had in lime green and it really stood out- lovely pram
Apart from having a slightly tough time changing the seats around when needed. This is the perfect little pushchair if you're struggling with 2 children. Especially mine who are 3 and 4 months. The 3 Yr old loves being high up at the front and the 4 month old is so nice and cozy underneath.
I had the Phil and teds when my girls were both little and it is the best double pushchair I’ve ever owned, loads of space underneath (so bottom child isn’t squashed) colour was amazing (I had blue) I also took mine on holiday and it was so easy and surprisingly light by far the best I’ve had.
I love this pram. So great that now I have it I won’t have to buy another for the next baby. This pram is a perfect all rounder. It’s great in shops as it steers well, better than most, you can get through most tight aisles. It’s is also amazing for being out and about. I never worry about taking this pram anywhere with me. My son loves it!
I used this for many years with multiple options. Toddler on top, baby underneath in bassinet, and then toddler and toddler underneath. Finally, as a pushchair with one child in. It was a great pushchair. Pregnant again many years later and regretting not having this pushchair still!! Expensive but worth it.
This pushchair is lovely to use if going on walks as its very easy to push over most terrains, however it's very heavy when using both seats, quite long and doesn't fold down if additional seat is on the bottom.
This is the best double I've ever had lightweight and easy to steer, great for a taller person my husband is 6"4 and uses it with no strain on his back. Comfortable for both baby and toddler and extremely safe breaks and straps for around the child
I tried a lot of double prams before settling on this most double prams are very hard and heavy to push whereas this is a breeze to push, the second seat is huge so should last us quite a while!
I have a love hate relationship with the Phil and Teds Navigator. I love how easy it is to convert from a single to a double. The lower seat just clicks on and takes up no extra space when the pushchair is folded so easy to keep in the car if you don't need a double every day.
The main seat is massive and has a weight limit of 25kg. It will easily last until your child no longer needs a pushchair and can be used for long days out for an older child.
The harness is adjustable and the seat has a strap recline. The sides of the pushchair unzip to make a fully lie flat mode and this also gives you the option to put the toddler seat on top if you have a newborn. The only issue with this is that my children can undo the zips and if you have a child underneath they will get squashed if they fully unzip them.
The basket is large when used in single mode but i find my shopping falls out the back. Id like to see an adjustable back panel to stop this.
I hate the hood on the navigator, as its designed to be a double and have a newborn underneath there is a big open space on the back of the pushchair. Although you get a mesh panel and raincover for this bit its fiddly to attach and not overly useful. A zip on back would be better for when you dont have a newborn in the main seat.
You can use the toddler seat to make a parent facing option in single mode. I have never ised it this way but its a nice feature if you want that option.
The navigator pushes lovely in single and double mode. Ive ised it on rough terrain and it copes very well. As it has a hand break you can also use it for jogging. The autostop break is my favourite feature. Although it takes a little bit to get used too its a really fantastic saftey device. There is a clip attached to a wrist strap too so if you dont want to holdthe bar shut you can use the clip and if you lose control of the pushchair the wrist strap will undo the clip and apply the break.
The double seat is big wnough for a toddler but there is not much space and i find it quite hard to het my son in and out. I had an older phil and teds model and there seems to be much less space between the main seat and double seat in this model. There is also no storage space when the double seat is on although you can buy panier bags at an aditional cost. The double seat reclines which is nice as the younger child will normally be in this seat but it doesnt come with a hood (you can purchase one separately)
I find the navigator very heavy when folded. It takes a fair bit of effort to put it in the car! Although the frame is sturdy and robust and is taking a fair weight with two children in.
Overall i would recomend this pushchair. Its slim line for the shops and a quick option converting from single to double. If the hood was better and there was a little more atorage in double mode it would be fantastic!
I use this double for a two year old and a newborn. It pushes and glides perfectly but it's not much space for the newborn and cocoon when the underneath seat is used on top. I wish I had tried that out before buying it. Other than that I really enjoy using this pushchair and my toddler likes it too.
I returned this sadly it wasn't for me I kept kicking the bottom seat not a lot of room for the child or shopping also the child can't see so gets annoyed. It's OK for a quick trip somewhere but not for everyday.
I absolutely love my Phil and teds
I have it as a double but currently using as a single with a very tall 18 month old
The seat sizing is absolutely fantastic my son is very tall and he fits in both seats great . Very very sturdy pushchair and easy to push its glides as you push!
Only weakness is the wheels are air filled and I worry they might pop I shall be filling them personally. Also its a little heavy but personally I prefer a heavier pushchair :)
