 Topic: Phil & Teds Navigator vs Mountain Buggy +one
Posted: 03 October 2013 at 2:27pm |

hi everyone!
Having #1 in March and researching prams. I want to buy one that will accommodate #2 (dont want to have to replace the pram then!) and one with the option of rear-facing baby. I like the ones that have the option of turning the seat around - so that I dn't have to use a capsule or a lie flat carrycot (so they can rear face when still a little bit older.
Any thoughts on the navigator or the +one? or other suggestions? would love everyone's feedback, positive or negative!
Thanks

Ive never been keen on the +one, there isnt much room for the back child and I dont think it reclines if they want to nap. The Nav looks good, I have a e3 and is great for two kids. If you are wanting a seat which faces you, have a look at the city select, has a whole heaps of different seat positions, slightly bulkier than P&T thou

I've had 3 prams and if I could start from scratch, knowing what I know now, I would almost certainly have got a City Select. One of my prams had a rf/ff seat and it is a great function, it surprises me that more companies do not offer it.

city select is awesome!
I have a plus one. i love it (i work with prams and id chose MB over P&T anyday) and because the gap between kids is going to be bigger than planned I am going to sell it and get an Icandy haha. Icandy do a double pram. they are more $$ but better quality.

Hi everyone, thanks for your thoughts! Hadn't even heard of the Baby jogger city select, so had to look it up. Went and looked at prams the other day and have to agree, the city select seems great! It doesn't look as "styley" as the P&T but has way more options and is really easy to change around - I had a good play with it at the shop!
Also - just heard frm lady at shop that P&T are discontinuing the Navigator and releasing a new version of it in approx Nov/Dec - so hold off buying until the new one is released!

Hi Pitter Patter, great to hear from you! that is wonderful news about your pregnancy too! How have you been feeling? Yes, our pregnancy is going really well, starting to "pop" now and have started to feel the baby moving around in the last week or two, much later than I thought I should! Its an incredible thing that is happening, I feel very blessed to be pregnant

I love our city select! If you do alot of walking then a MB would be better but they are fine for the occassional walk and around the mall etc. We've taken ours on a dirt walking track and it was fine too! I've been using a MB a bit and I much prefer the City Select. I love that you can have bubs facing you as well :)

was P&T Explorer relaced by navigator as no longer advertised on P&T website. Is an E3 a type of Explorer? Does the Explorer accomodate a newbord rear facing plus toddler? All so confusing! Help! Thanks

The New Navigator has an brake on the handle. so you need to hold it down to have it off or lock it in and have the wrist thingy on.
be interesting to see how it goes...

Lilmama - The E3 is an early explorer, Explorer was replaced by Navigator. If you are buying second hand, check out the P & T website to see which prams have replacement parts discontinued. You can no-longer get replacement parts for an E3 - personally I would avoid anything that they no longer sell parts for.
