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!

      Anywhere locally that repairs dentures on-site?

      By Lilly1 · Posted

      The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly.

      Had to take a second look!

      Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
