So far so good
By Steve Strange
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!

By nycmom
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!

Love it!!!
By Nikki
I've only had this for a few days, but so far I love it and so does my 6 month old baby! I can't compare it to other similar strollers since I never tried them out, but it really is everything I would want in a stroller. I spent a lot of time researching strollers, especially looking for strollers that are not made with harmful materials. I emailed mountain buggy/phil& ted and got a quick reply that was a page long informing me of strict standards and chemical testing done on the materials used to make the product. The email was quite in depth so I won't elaborate on it here, but it made me very confident in the product and was one of the factors I used for purchasing phil&ted products.Prior to this stroller, we used a car seat with attachment stroller- worked fine for what it was but so glad to get my baby out of that car seat( material composition/potential off-gassing in the fabric was the main issue!). The ride with the Navigator is like riding on air ( I assume) compared to strollers with non-inner tube tires. The navigator moves easily with one hand and so far I has been great to use for jogging. It was very easy to set up- I was able to put it together during my daughter's short nap! The written instructions are a little hard to follow, but the video on the website really helped.As far as negatives, I really don't have any. But as for some things to consider- the golden kiwi color is a little more yellow - almost a mustard color in person. But still very attractive. And the basket in the bottom (which turns into the feet area for the second child) is smaller than I expected. I liked to put my grocery bag in the basket area of my other stroller and I can see that I won't be able to put as big a bag in this stroller. One thing that I really like, is the move with the sun shade hood- my daughter doesn't like the sun in her face- and this hood can be pulled all the way down- something that I was concerned about based on the pictures.
