27 of 27 people found the following review helpful.I have owned both P&T Sport and P&T Explorer before I bought the Navigator stroller. I used to dream of a "love baby" of those two models, which would combine the following features: 1) I need a reclining second seat, so I can recline both seats at least a little bit when my kids fall asleep (sport has reclining 2nd seat, Explorer doesn't) 2) Explorers sun canopy over Sports 3) The easy strap recline over the Sports buckle reclineWell, my dreams were (almost) heard and P&T came out with the Navigator stroller: It has a reclining second seat (check!), It has the follow the sun canopy just like in Explorer (check!), then yikes: It has the BUCKLE recline system similar to Sport instead of the easier strap recline of the Explorer.. Big minus, but I'll live with it...If my toddler would keep his hands to himself in the bottom seat, and he would not constantly keep opening the buckles of the main seat, I would give this 5 stars... BUT the buckle recline is a major disappointment for the following reasons:First of all if you have a little prankster sitting in the bottom seat (like mine), and he knows he can annoy his mom and sibling by unlocking the recline buckles, he'll be doing just that.. Several times.. Making both main seat rider and the mom scream (and also making the seat hit their own face at times).Secondly: It doesn't recline your sleeping child as smoothly as the strap recline (mom has to support the seat while releasing slowly both side buckles, so that the child doesn't just quickly fall downwards). Everyone knows you do not want to wake up a sleeping baby, right?! Also, once your little one wakes up, you'll have to once again lift the seat up (with your child's' weight on the backrest) and then buckle both sides, and then tighten the buckles..Just little things, but P&T: You had a good recline going on with the Explorer, so I'd love to see that same easier recline with the Navigator as well.Other than the recline issue, this stroller is very easy to push, very sleek looking with the all black frame and the wonderful color options of the hoods and liners, and it can fit trough any doorway you may possibly imagine (maybe not a fairy door)..The basket is large, and has enough room for baby essentials even if used in doubles mode, and the seat liners are very easy to remove and clean (so even if you've had to bribe your kids to be quiet and let them eat ice cream in the stroller, do not worry: just wash the liners once you get home).I would highly recommend this stroller to anyone, it's great as a single, it's great as a double. And maybe one day it can be folded with the second seat attached to the back???
11 of 11 people found the following review helpful.I have tried numerous strollers (the Orbit, Quinny Moodd, Britax B-Ready, Umbrella strollers) however the Phil & Ted Navigator is my first jogging style three wheel stroller.The Navigator is lighter in comparison the OrbitTaller for my husband to push than the MooddHas double capabilities like the B-Ready (but is a jogger)More comfortable for my son and more storage than an umbrella.The front wheel can be adjusted to either lock into place or swivel (it is a bit hard to adjust but once it is in place it is set).The seat completely upright has a bit of an incline but my so looks comfortable sitting in it and he is a vey tall 22 month old. The seat reclined can go completely flat which is amazing (none of the other strollers I mentioned do that)!The stroller has an easy one handed push. The handle bar can be adjusted to numerous height levels (but you need both hands to adjust, a bit tricky).It is easy to fold the Navigator, and it is very compact when folded. Plus you can fold the stroller with the seat attached!The seat can only go forward facing (the other strollers mentioned seats can go both directions).The push is smooth because of the large wheels, even over rough terrane the stroller pushes great.I do prefer foam wheels (Orbit, Britax) so I don't have to deal with tire pumps or flats but the air tires do provide a much smoother ride.I have not traveled with the stroller yet but lately I prefer an umbrella stroller for airplane travel.Overal the Phil & Ted's Navigator stroller is a great stroller and would be a great purchase if you are a jogger, plan to have more than one kid, want a stroller from birth until school aged, need a sturdy compact stroller, live in the city and suburbs.However, no stroller is perfect I have yet to find a stroller that is a 5 star in every category but the Navigator is close!
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful.I live in NYC, where a stroller is my car. Thus I have a lot of requirements in choosing a stroller. I've always loved the Phil and Teds design. I love how compactly two kids can fit into one stroller. I love the single, front swivel wheel. I can steer the stroller easily with one hand. It pushes so easily. I previously had the E3 Phil and Teds stroller, and recently upgraded to the Navigator. I am so happy with it. The fabric material is really nice and easy to clean. I love the sun hood and I love the adjustable handle. The only negative I can think of is that the basket at the bottom ends up being smaller in the Navigator than in other Phil and Teds double strollers. The doubles kit sits closer inside the basket. So I can't put as big of bags in the basket and the doubles seat is more difficult for a toddler to get in and out of because there is less clearance. But I guess because it sits closer in, it is easier to hang on diaper bag on the stroller handle without it getting in the way of the doubles seat. Otherwise, I am completely happy with this stroller!
