The Promenade is sleek and sophisticated, with a
very modern, city design. It is easy to fold and unfold
and has a reversible seat and an extendible sun hood
to help block out direct sun. Everything can be done
easily, with the push of a button- from tilting the seats
to extending the handle- a must have when you often
only have one hand. However, with a wide wheel base
at the back you need a bigger car boot than some
others. It works well both on the footpath and on grass/
rougher terrain and it has an extendable handle to
adjust for height differences.
What really sets the Promenade apart is the way it
converts to a double pram. You can configure it in
numerous ways, with a bassinet/seat option, two seats
or a seat/travel system design. A stand out feature is
that when the Promenade has two seats connected,
they can both recline, which is rare. There is also a
generous amount of space between the seats, which is
uncommon.

The navigator is the latest redesign of Phil & Teds
hugely popular three wheel pram, that is great to jog
with as well as for everyday use. offering an extra,
face-to-face parent facing seat, as well as the original
bassinet and travel system options, the navigator is
easy to use and can convert to a double pram when
needed. They don't provide quite as much space
between the two seats as the Promenade but it is a
more compact, day-to-day pram.
It's easy to fold and unfold and can fit in the boot of a
hatchback. These prams are popular for good reason,
they are easy to use on-road and off -and are durable
and practical. The back of the seat is a molded plastic,
which provides solid back support and brings the seat
upright. You can drop the back with one hand (essential
when holding a sleeping baby), but you will need two to
sit it back up again as it uses a clip system.
