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 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...Read more
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 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 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...Read more
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.

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 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...Read more
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.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

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 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 isl...Read more

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 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).

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 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 reclin...Read more

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 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 availabl...Read more
e 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.Similar opinion?

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) even if its on the shortest length. And the child child does scrap on the ground when you go to fold it.

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.
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 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!!

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 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?.

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 other accessories.

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 the lightest and most compact strollers (in length when folded)on the market that is its biggest selling point

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 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 recli...Read more

Great for the price! But it's not a luxury ride...
I wanted an inexpensive pram that was suitable from newborn that was as small as possible... and I got it!
The navigator was a bargain at $175 (always seems to be on sale) and although I sometimes wish I had a fancier pram, it really is so light and compact that the cons are outweighed. I wouldn't recommend this if you do a lot of long walks or go off-road a lot, but it's great for catching public transport and squeezing into small spaces.
Inexpensive, light, easy to fold and lift into car, big basket, compact - fits into cafes! Plastic whe...Read more

I originally had a strider but changed to this pram when my son was 12months as he could not sit up straight enough. Great for an older child in weight range. My son loves sitting up straight and lies back almost fully when he is sleeping. The trays are great and if I cannot use a high chair when out my son eats in his pram. I was going to get a stroller but find a bar much easier to steer than handles. Found this pram to be quite good. Not as easy to steer as the strider but much smaller and weighs less which is great for bad backs.

I don't use a pram much...basically just for quick trips to the shops or sometimes when I take my dog to the park, so it's good for what I need. If my baby spent more time in the pram I would probably get a nicer one. I love that it's quick and easy to fold/unfold, much lighter than most models, and also fairly small (easy to get through a checkout or steer between tables at a restaurant, etc). I bought the display model so it was marked down a lot. I don't think I would have paid full price. For what I paid and what I need it to do, I'm happy.

This pram was great for me when my baby was small, so easy to use and light. I loved the parents tray. Unfortunatley I now would NOT recommend this pram to anyone as it has been a waste of money, prams should last longer than 9 months and carry more than 10 kgs!
Pram is light weight, easy to fold
Brakes are hard to get up if you are not wearing closed in shoes. I have had my pram fir 9 months and it has been great however now that my son is 10kgs the back wheel keeps coming off! Very dangerous! I believe the weight is up to 17kgs? So I am not very happy that the pram is not safe to use when my son is only 9 months old!!

how do you fold it for the car?
3 answers
There's a lever that you pull, which disengages the lock. This allows the unit to be folded down to fit into the car.
Yes you hold a button on the handle and lift a latch on the left side and it folds down. Really easy.

Is there a way to lock the front wheel in place so it doesn't keep getting stuck/swiveling around- it's quite jarring for my toddler?
3 answers
We no longer have our vee bee (upgraded to a larger pram), but my recollection is that there's a small clip on the back of each of the front struts (just above the wheels), which allow the wheels to be locked or unlocked. The wheels can be locked to force them to remain straight or unlocked so they swivel as required.
