Description:

The Phil&Teds Dot is a small, compact inline pushchair which is 3cms slimmer than the popular Explorer, but with no compromise to the main seat width. The Phil&Teds Dot is multi-terrain but is equally suited to a city lifestyle. The Dot is packed with features such as new 10" air tyre wheels, a ventilated seat, an easy reclining doubles kit, zip off fabric and a new tail free harness.

Pros:

A smaller Phil&Teds pushchair which will make city life much easier eg in shops, with smaller compact cars, through turnstiles etc. The main seat is no smaller. Suitable for one child or two. For one child there is the Snug carrycot option from birth. For two children, the baby can either lie underneath the older child on the doubles kit on top, or in a car seat.

Phil&Teds Navigator

Description:

The multi terrain Phil&Teds Navigator is similar to the Explorer but is packed with great new features. THere is a layback upper seat adjustor so there are no dangling strings! There is a reclining doubles kit, better fabrics; a mix and match choice of colours; zip on fabrics rather than popper on ones; a one handed fast fold to a compact size; a follow the sun hood and tail free harnesses! There is also an auto stop brake which means your pushchair will never roll away from you. On top of all that there is a new Face-to-Face seat which can convert your Navigator into a single parent facing pushchair.

Pros:

Phil&Teds have made their inline pushchair better! Features like a lie back doubles kit; a layback adjustment on the upper seat; tail free harnesses and one handed fold will help make the Navigator be more user and child friendly. The Navigator is only 59cms wide which is narrow for a tandem pushchair. Multi-terrain wheels. Brilliant auto stop braking system. The addition of the Snug carrycot and Face-to-Face seat for one baby may make the Navigator a good parent facing single multi-terrain option. Suitable for a newborn and toddler, or two toddlers as well as a single child.

Cons:

The Face-to-Face seat and Snug carrycot can only be used for one baby - the seat fabrics will need removing to do so. The zip off fabrics may make this quick, therefore easy to convert on a day to day basis, but we will have to see.
Hoods are an extra cost.

Description:

The Graco Evo is a pushchair that should easily take your child from birth to three whether in the carrycot, or as a travel system in a car seat, or in the reversible lie flat pushchair seat. The Graco Evo has a one handed fold into a compact size. At only 9.5kgs the Evo is a relatively light but yet comfortable pushchair with a large shopping basket.

Pros:

Reversible seat. Compact one handed fold. One piece fold when the seat is forward facing. The pushchair seat is suitable from birth. Big seat. Good footrest length for an older child. Can take a carrycot or car seat (sold separately). Large shopping basket. Raincover, liner and footmuff included. Extremely good value for money.

Cons:

Plastic wheels. Is awkward to fold as a one piece - it is easier if the seat is removed. 6 month warranty.
