An excellent lightweight stroller/pram – This is an excellent pram (although classified as a stroller it has all the features of a pram without being bulky and heavy). I bought this pram because I wanted a three wheel design which wasn't big, bulky and heavy. The navigator can be easily folded, is very light so I can lift it in and out of the car, and folds compactly enough to fit in our… Read more
small car boot with the groceries, or when packed for a holiday.
I also love the really huge basket underneath- you can fit a small grocery shop underneath if the seat is upright! And because it is compact, it actually fits through checkouts and down narrow aisles at the shops. I bought this for my first child 3 years ago and used it from newborn right up until my next child was born 2.5 years later. Am now using it for my second child and it only shows minimal signs of wear- mainly just the wheels have flattened (as solid plastic wheels tend to). Very easy to push with a newborn or small child, gets a bit harder to push and steer with a toddler- although still usable. I have not seen any other pram that rivals this one for ease of use and useful features- plus for the price you buy these you really can't go wrong. cheap, huge shopping basket, very lightweight, easy to lift, easy to fold, compact, backrest position easy to adjust, fits through checkouts! it is a cheap, lightweight pram so is not as tough or as easy to push long distances or off paths as a big, bulky pram
Bad – For a pram costing roughly $200 I think that it is not worth it. Before this I had a valco light weight umbrella stroller which was very good and easy to collapse and comfortable with a good sunshade - but I overloaded it oneday and the suspension was never the same. I have returned the navigator to bigw and they immediately percieved the wobble… Read more
in the frame and gave me an option of an exchange or store credit - I took the store credit as I had already chosen a new pram from another shop, the Baby Jogger City Mini which I found online for $400 - well worth the money because it has so many amazing features. I liked this pram because it had a large basket and snack trays for both parent and child. Very light weight but tended to take up the entire of my corrolla hatchbacks boot space. Seat recline is easy to use. I found it difficult to steer with a child (11kg) plus a bag in the basket. Also a tendency to tip to the side when going down slopes. I could never steer with one hand. Difficult to assemble, instructions were not very clear.
IT seems to have a design fault. When upright the place where it folds is not sturdy but has a wobble and makes the whole pram very difficult to lift over kerbs (have to put foot under basket onto crossbar between back wheels to create a pivot point). Also, the three step folding mechanism is impossible to activate whilst holding a child / infant and the seat back has to be fully reclined before collapsing. Nor could I see my child through the peekaboo window when he was sitting fully upright.
The brakes are very difficult to apply and even harder to release - I usually did this by hand rather than foot. Inadequate sunshade. The seat is not very tall and has a strange flappy thing that pressed on my one year olds head - or folded under his head and was annoying. The crotch strap is too far forward and he was always slumped down in his seat.
Surprised by other ratings – Being a new mother, I bought myself a bulky pram with all the features for my newborn (Love N Care Adiva Sport) - it was a wonderful pram for a newborn but ultimately proved cumbersome and bulky when out and about. When bub was about 6mths, I came across the Navigator. I've loved it since - it's relatively light, easy to collapse, roomy… Read more
basket, reclines easily, and fits really nicely into the car. It also has a safety feature - the five point harness cannot be undone by bub because it requires a dual motion (pushing down on the two points whilst pressing down the release button). I take the point that the harness is hard to adjust but it is definitely adjustable. The pram is wonderful for shopping centres but not suitable for off road and day to day walk to the park. I use it all the time, and have loved the ease of use. After purchasing a pram with lots of features, the Navigator was a bonus for me because it lacked extra bells and whistles - it just does the job: gets baby from A to B without too much hassle, the lack of multi-steps to unfold and fold, and lets me carry a generous number of shopping bag. Baby is now 16mths and I'm still very happy with it. Easy to steer, relatively lightweight, easy to collapse and set-up, generous basket, easy to recline. Good sun shade coverage (incls a window to peek at bub). Excellent price. Fantastic for grocery shops, brief trips. Harness is hard to adjust. Not suitable for newborns - I definitely think that the stroller is only suitable for babies able to sit up quite steadily. Basket not accessible when fully reclined. Not as smooth as prams with inflatable tires.
Positive reviews
compact stroller that is good value – This stroller has worked well for us. Its bigger than an umbrella stroller and can carry lots of stuff, but its still small enough to fit into shops and a small car boot. Its been comfortable and our child is just over a metre tall and still fits just fits into it. It won't last forever and the plastic holding the top handles together has… Read more
started cracking on ours. The front wheel squeaked for a long time and needed a good clean out with silicon spray. It has been over some rough ground as there are not many footpaths in our area and we do lots of walking. Considering we paid less than $200, its still good value even with those problems and we have happy with it.
Great affordable pram – Easy to use and fold up, has been used for 2 children and lasts and wears excellent with material holding up extremely well only negative is that you can't have baby facing you would be good to have a handle that goes forward & back Does not take up a lot of room and is lightweight
This is a good lightweight stroller for a small adult to push a small toddler in for quick shopping – I found this is a very good LITTLE stroller with lots of extra features I really liked, however I have a 4 month old and she's not able to sit up properly when seat is upright, so it tends to roll her to the side a little. Handle too short for me being 5'11', and hood doesn't seem to stay fully extended out. The crotch strap is a bit far down,… Read more
but other than those things, it is a very good pram if you're after a cheap, light, good quality small pram
Negative reviews
Starting to encounter issues with front mounted wheels – When we bought the stroller , it worked very well. We take good care of the unit since it holds our most precious cargo, our 2 year old, but it seems that the way the front wheels are designed causes issues over time. When folded, there's always awkwardness in they way the wheel doesn't slip into a more neutral position no matter how many times… Read more
I refold it. Wear and tear isn't expected so soon after being purchased but I guess we see built in obsolescence is par for the course nowadays...
Not Safe – Bought this pram from Toys R Us, my pram is 7 months old and both back wheels have fallen off while my 4 month old baby girl was in it. I wrote to Veebee and took photos they sent me spare parts to fix it. One month later the wheels fell off again, when I rang the company the women I spoke to was rude & told me I wasn't putting the wheels back on… Read more
properly as they shouldn't fall off, they won't replace the pram or give me my money back, not happy at all, not safe...
Not worth the price I paid – can be easy to maneuver. It is possible to steer with one hand. Down side of the stroller is that when it is fully reclined you can not access the basket storage area. Can no longer use this pram though, after being used twice. Put little miss in there while having specialist appointments and no matter what I done the back wheels kept falling off… Read more
and would not stay on. Bough this pram via Zippay after hearing the great reviews and if I knew about the wheels I would definetely not have bought the pram. Definetely not worth the $250 I paid for it.

Great – Bought this one last year and still using it for my daughter as she s still doing her nap on the afternoon. It s great for toddler as it have a cup holder and tray at the front and also a cup holder and tray on the top for parents what is also great as you don t need to purchased it separetly. The 3 wheels make it really confortable to navigate… Read more
through busy street And for shopping ( big basket at the bottom) . And i can lay my daughter totally flat when she s sleeping so love it as it s easy to fold, not too big and really handy. The only problem is it doesn t last as the front wheels start to struck and the front tray unclip quite easily.
Great for a newborn but too small for larger child – There are a number of things that I absolutely love about this pram. In no particular order: - extremely easy to fold and open up (that's a big bonus to me) - very lightweight (compared to other prams we have had in the past) - easy to maneuver - a good set of clips to ensure that the child is well restrained inside the pram and cannot easily… Read more
get out (the clips are easy for an adult to open with the touch of a single button).
Things I don't like so much:
- it has a small storage area for nappies; bottles and the like (but if you are travelling light, it's not a big concern)
- this pram is easy to tip unless the child is correctly seated. Our child tried standing up in the pram and it fell backwards (we caught it and him before it went too far).
- sitting a child larger than 3yo is difficult as the footrests are quite high (and can't be lowered). This can make the ride a little more uncomfortable.
All in all, I really like this pram and would happily recommend it (with the caveats above).
Easy to use pram – We chose this pram due to it being small and light weight. It is easy for me to fold and unfold and lift in and out of the boot (even with a baby in my arms).It is also large enough to carry a toddler and shopping in the carry basket but small enough that it is kept in the boot of the car while still leaving room for groceries or every day items.… Read more
It steers well, has a removable tray with straps than can be used as 3 point or 5 point. Still going strong after over 2 years of use.
How do you change the handle direction please – Its light and easy to use except I do not know how the handle changes from front to back, I hear that its easy but so far no one can show me how to do it, I would appreciate any information please. I'm old and dont get these new prams at all. Show 2 replies

Fit's in a mini couper – This was the only pram on the market i could find to fit in my mini. It is wonderfully lightweight and compact. It has been fine for a year and a half but looks like it might collapse spoon. Child seems to slip fwd in the seat relying on the harness to hold her in. The brakes are awfully stiff and wreck ur shoes. Good big storage basket… Read more
underneath. Low for a tall person to push. Little if any shock absorption so it is a bimpy ride. When child is about 6 momths old the temples of their head bump into some joints either side of pram. Overall okay forthe money, Fits in a mini couper Brakes, todler slides fwd on seat, infant bangs head on sides
Great pram for the quick run around – I bought this pram as a cheap quick run around to the shops etc and am surprised by how much I love it. It's 100% value for money. Light weight, easy to fold, huge basket underneath that's larger than average. I've also got a three wheeler all terrain for my walks and the veebee is used for my shopping expeditions and lives in the boot of the car.… Read more
My child is a tall child and fits with no problems with room still to go (currently is 15 month old). The only negative is that my husband and I are tall and kick the basket underneath whilst pushing the pram which can get annoying. Aside for that one element, the pram is fantastic. Highly recommend. We also bought the veebee footmuff that I use on the all terrain pram also. Best money ever spent. Lightweight, easy to fold, great value for money Kick the underside of the basket whilst walking/pushing pram
Awseome stroller great price – I love the VeeBee :) its lightweight, fits easily in the boot of my car and folds down with one push of a button. Snaps upright easily as well. 3 wheels makes it easy to manover and the storage basket is easily accessible even with the baby laying right down in the stroller. Love the cup holders too! The little peep window near where you hold the… Read more
pram to push it is great I can easily keep an eye on bub. Lightweight, inexpensive, easy to manover.
best pram for the price range! – I've tried about 3 other prams/strollers before, and this is by far my favorite. It has lots of pros and only 1 con (read my pros/cons below). It's so easy to recline and manouvre (one hand operation). It's easy to fold/unfold, and it fits in the smallest car boot (I have a suzuki swift). Although the basket can be a bit hard to access if it's… Read more
fully reclined, but so are many other prams.
I just wish it is everything that it is now but slightly bigger. Otherwise, love everything about it. light weight, one hand recline, easy to steer, cup holder, large steady basket, lots of things! a bit small; my baby will soon grow out of it.
Good for its price – Nice lightweight pram, good for short trip to shopping centres. It was not expensive. It has snack and drink trays for both the mum and the baby, and huge easy-to-access storage underneath. However I find the seat size is a bit small. Also the steering can be difficult sometimes, I really need to use two hands and push hard when making a turn. Great for short trip to shopping centres Seat is a bit small and steering can be difficult sometimes
Get what you paid for – This pram had everything we were looking for, it's lightweight, easy to fold and steer (even with one hand, large shopping basket, and narrow so can fit through small spaces. However after using it for 6 months my daughter has already grown out of it! Her head already reaches past the top of the seat! I'm constantly having to adjust her as she… Read more
always slides down or to the side and looks very uncomfortable. When we initially bought the pram we had to take it back as there were parts missing (bolts etc to put the wheels on). But only paying about $150 I guess it's not too bad for the money! lightweight, easy to steer and fold, cheap, narrow My 6 month old has already outgrown it, she always looks uncomfortable in it and always slides down in it.
Great lightweight pram – This is a great lightweight little pram with huge storage underneath, comes with drink and snack trays for both me and my little man in the front. I bought this pram because my original phil and teds was too heavy and love the fact that this folds so easy and is light. Only problem I have with it is that I have to adjust my child often as it… Read more
appears that he slides down, he is not uncomfortable, it just looks like he is. Other than that I love it. Light, huge storage, easy to push, 2 handy drink and snack trays. Have to adjust child now and again as he slips down in it.
Great pram - would be sad to say goodbye to! – I am a stay-at-home mum and I dont drive so ever since bub was still in the oven we already started looking for a smallish pram with big basket. We did a couple of visits to baby store etc and when we found this pram we could not wait to have one!! It looks nice, its small, it has got HUGE storage space, I love the safety harness where my son cant… Read more
undo it without my assistance and I love the fact that its got the drink/snack tray for parents. Its very cheap for the quality - we bought it online for $130! It also steers easy and smooth no matter how many shopping bags I put on the handle - lol. We used it since bub was 4 months and now 20months later we are still very happy with it. My son LOVES is.
There are some cons of course but easy to manage. The brake is quite hard to undo with ur toes; I need my hands to pull them off. The sunhood could have been bigger but I use baby blanket to block the sun etc.
Overall, we are impressed with what we've got and now that bub #2 is due to arrive this autumn we would have to say goodbye to this lovely pram. I know this model have twins version but I think we would need a smalller pram to get in/out of the bus easy such as Phil & Teds sports/vibes. Hard to say goodbye but will have to but I will defo recommend this pram for all active mums to make ur life easier! :) Lightweight, huge storage underneath, safety harness is well-designed, parents tray is really helping, steers easy etc None really - its way better than we would have expected esp for the price range
Ok for price – It is ok for the price. The child doesn't seem to sit well in it though, it appears I have to regularly adjust and prop child up on seat so he's sitting more upright on the seat. The basket is huge so it's great for shopping and toys but its durability is questionable as ours had a tear within a few months of purchase. It could do with a little… Read more
organizer on its back for sippy cup, wipes and nappy. The large basket. It,s lightweight and fairly easy to pack in car boot. The seat doesn't look comfy, the child doesn't seem to sit well in it whether recline or not, maybe the position of straps are not quite right for young babies but slightly better for toddlers.

OK – A great stroller for the shops and short walks. Fits easily in the boot of the car and easy to collapse and lift. If you want to do lots of walking (>2hrs a week), or walk on more rugged terrain (ie. not footpaths), I'd suggest Valco's more sturdier strollers. Very lightweight, reclines so it can be used for newborns as well as toddlers, good… Read more
size basket, narrow and can easily get through shopping isles. Front wheels spin around when you lift them to go over a kerb, meaning the stroller is a little unstable and sometimes tips to the side while you are trying to get it back on track. Also, if you have a nappy bag hanging off the stroller, it easily tips over. Brakes are difficult to use, particularly to get off again, particularly if you are wearing sandals (it hurts to push up on the lever with your foot). Now my daughter is over 8kg, I have found the stroller is starting to show signs of stress and the wheels are splaying inwards.
Excellent – We bought this stroller as a second pram when our primary pram was out of action and we're really impressed. I wouldn't feel comfortable using it for a newborn because I like something more substantial but it has several reclining positions and our baby has been really comfortable in it since he was 3 months old. It is narrower than most 3… Read more
wheelers (and probably many 4 wheelers as well) so gets around the shops easily. We have a mid-sized car and it leaves plenty of space in the boot for luggage etc. It doesn't come with a net or storm cover or any of those extras but if you are looking for a second stroller to keep in the car, it's ideal. It's light, compact, easy to fold and unfold and incredibly manoeuvrable. It has a parents tray and a good sized basket. The buckle system isn't intuitive.
Good – I already had a valco rebel, but after a couple of trips to the shops I wanted a smaller pram that would fit through the isles and checkouts and was easy to lift in and out of the boot. The rebel now stays home and is used for walks and the navigator stays in the boot for shopping trips. It is a great little pram that ticks all the boxes for me. I… Read more
bought the Navigator as a second pram to keep in the car and love it. It is perfect for the shops as it is quite narrow and has a good size basket. Manouvers easily around the shops, and fits down isles and though checkouts with ease. Folds down quite small and fits easily into the boot. Nice and light so easy to lift. The multi position layback is great, I've had my now 9 month old son in it since he was about 6 weeks old. Very affordable price. It is perfect for what I bought it for, but it probably wouldn't be much good on long walks off the footpath as it is a cheap pram. The harness straps and buckle can be a bit fiddley.
Excellent – i am a pramaholic. i like the latitude because the pros far outweigh the cons and for most prams i've had that isn't the case! Its better than my steelcraft express and urban ultralight and love it as its so much lighter than my phil n teds which i now keep at home for walking (have a 2 yr old & 3 month old). i put my 3 month old in this pram and… Read more
my 2 yr old walks, then she is good and tired for a nap or bed time! My bub loves it. I got exactly what i expected for only $170. lightweight, great for the shops, parent tray for coffee!, removable child's tray, easy to steer, big basket padding is a little hard (am using a liner) and buckle looks a bit dodgy but works (same harness as my old valco urban ultralight which i hated overall).
Excellent – Absoultely love this pram. To be honest we choose it because being of small build I needed something that was small and light. I have now had it for over 2 years and it is still in fantastic condition. Have had no problems whatsover with it. I love that it is compact so I don't struggle at shopping centres or other crowded places. I find it easy… Read more
to store, and I have the option of storing it upright which was important due to the way my car boot is. It is really light, lays back all the way so is perfect for a newborn and has a variety of recline positions. It has a removable tray and bar. For the price I think it is fantastic value. I can keep it for the next baby or because of the cost of it, I can go and buy another pram. Lightweight, easy to use, compact, price
Excellent – Overall a great stroller, I love it cause it is small and light. Price is a big part for us as we didn't want to spend heaps on a second pram and the price for this one was fantastic. I love how easy it is to unfold especially one handed. It's great for shopping centres and quick outings when you don't want to lug the big pram. It has a huge… Read more
basket underneath which was a big plus for us. We love the fact that you can steer it one handed with no problems and it has a tray you can attach so bub can easily eat his lunch if no highchair is available and it is easy to remove, just clips off and fits easy underneath in the basket. The parents tray at the top is also great for those little bits and pieces.The only con I think is the padding at the top of the seat, but this is easily fixed by folding it over. I have only had this stroller for a short time but so far it is great and I would highly recommend this stroller to others. I love this stroller. It's light, easy to manouvre, one hand to open, large basket, single handle, compact, tray on the front for feeding or playing and the price. I don't like the padding at the top of the seat cause it bub is tall and his head rubs a bit on it. The straps, when I lay bub down in the fully reclined position I need to adjust the straps so they are not too tight and likewise when I put it back in the upright position, the straps need to be adjusted so bub is secure.
Good – Overall i love this pram. Have had it for over a year with no problems. For the price - its great ! Does what it should. And would recommend this pram to others. Light. Easy to steer. Love the large basket as i can fit so much into it. Love the parent tray at the top and the child tray. The strap is a bit long (the one that goes between the legs)… Read more
even if its on the shortest length. And the child child does scrap on the ground when you go to fold it.
OK – I actually took this pram back & exchanged for something else. There wasnt a display one so I couldnt test it in the shop. It would be great for a baby or infant, for whizzing in & out of shops or small strolls but not much more than that. I think there are better strollers on the market for that price range. I didnt feel it was worth the money.… Read more
Light weight & one handed fold & unfold. For my needs it wasnt suitable. the top of the actual seat dosnt allow room for taller kids. My 2 year old was higher than the back of the seat & it was very awkward for her to sit in. My 7 mnth old fit nicely, but again, not alot of room in it. A bit unsturdy, didnt really feel like a stable stroller.
Terrible – The only cons are the parent tray and its compactibility and lightness..other than that it is a terrible pram!! Its light, easy to disemble and compact for the boot. I HAATTTEEE the fact that my 15 month old looks too big for the stroller!! Its very narrow and there is not enough room for him to wriggle about..he finds it sooo uncomfortable!! Its… Read more
a nightmare of a pram!! Hard to steer especially going around corners..it feels like its going to tip!! It is terribly made!! Don't buy one cos its not worth the money!!
Good – I love this pram, it has made my life SO much easier caring for a 20 month old and 6 month old. Definitely recommended. (I actually have the Navigator for 2) Easy to steer, easy to fold-great for grandparents, easy access under-basket and it's HUGE! Fits through most standard doorways. my children can see each other all the time. separate hoods so… Read more
one can be up and one down, adjustable backrest adjustable footrests. padded seats. When folded, the children's footrest scrapes on the ground and is now a bit scratched up-but what do you expect after a few years anyway?.
Good – I love this stroller. It is my second stroller as I use a different one for the other car and as our main stroller. Is nice and light weight and folds easily...no pushing this, whilst pulling that and turning this at the same time. I bought mine on line for cheaper than what the store was selling them but mine did not come with a rain cover or any… Read more
other accessories. Very lighweight and folds up like an umbrella stroller. Fits into small car boots (I own a Daihatsu Sirion and it fits easily) Love the colour scheme (Black and Champagne), large under basket and comes with a childs and parents tray/drink holder. Steering can be a bit tedious - but that is like any 3 wheel stroller. Did not come with a raincover but that could be due to where I bought it from.
OK – I have been using this stroller, now for 5 months for my now 1 year old and it is starting to wear, squeak and rattle. I also had to fold the fabric that goes across the top of the seat back behind the seat so that my boy could fit in. This makes access to the seat adjustor bar difficult. The brakes are difficult to get off. However it is one of… Read more
the lightest and most compact strollers (in length when folded)on the market that is its biggest selling point Very compact when folded and very lightwieght. Mulit back positions (lies down flat) and multi leg positions. Very narrow great for manouvering around crowded stores. It is a cheap stroller so therefore not that sturdy. Foot rest and bar scrape on ground when you fold it (making it look worn after the first week of use)
Bad – definitely not a pram i would recommend to anyone...there are other prams out there that are suitable & i would say spend the extra small dollars to get a pram with an easy buckle and 4 wheels (not centred at the front)...dissapointed in my purchase Lightweight pram. I had a valco tri-mode and found it bulky to use so needed a smaller lightweight… Read more
pram - this suits the bill. also had a deep, accessible basket which was a big drawcard...price-wise it also fitted the bill as i didnt want to spend over $200 on a pram that allowed my baby to recline fully The clip buckle is dodgy...very difficult to unclip & have had to replace the clip within 2 months of purchase. it also tips with my older child who still is in the correct weight category for this pram
