Question for Phil and Ted dot owners

Hi, just wondering if this model of Phil and Ted has the annoying metal bar brake found on the sport of its now either a brake on the handle or a plastic pedal you push down / release? I hated the brake on the sport but am now looking for a new pram suitable for newborn & 4 yo. Thanks for any advice - can't see brake function detailed on any of the online reviews...

The dot has a plastic flip on off.brake on the rear axle- it's very easy to do and works really well- makes a solid click noise.on or off and holds buggy very still- good sturdy little buggy - use.mine as single now for ds age just 2 and it's easy to push one handed - glides over bumps and easy to get round shops too as quite compact- I have a dot v2- the fabrics on the new v3 don't seem.as good to me and altho the v3 dot has no puncture tyres I prefer the air on the dot v2- I tried a v3 and it's still fairly easy to push but the sir tyres have defenite edge

No prob also just thought worth noting- h3 straps on main seat were getting neat on my (tall) ds albeit in winter snowsuit so I ordered the strap extension part from phil n teds website - prob solved - think was only because he had v thick snowsuit on.
