Phil and Teds new Smart Buggy Is it as smart as they say

August 3rd, 2010

Its a baby are a big fan of all the Phil & Ted practical inline buggies so when we initially heard about the launch of the new smart buggy we were amazed and excited all at the same time !

The smart buggy promised to a complete travel system, lightweight at between 5kg – and 7kg depending on the attatchments that you would be using with it, Hypo-allergenic, waterproof with a ventilated seat AND stylish as well as having a flat and compact folding position – and all for £150 ! What more could you ask for ??

When the box arrived in store it was very compact and I eagerly unpacked the box and as i always do i arranged all the pieces and instructions in front of me like a flat pack expert and normally after 5 mins i need to call for someone else to help me figure out how to piece all the parts toghether.  BUT the opening mechanism was so simple – all you have to do is unlock the saftey catches and push the legs down.  The wheels slotted straight onto the chassis and hey presto the smart buggy was ready to go !! The easy assemble had me convinced at this point but i was a little unsure about the seat unit, at a first glance it looks a little space age and the foam materiel looks plastic and hard but on inspection the seat materiel is actually very soft and springy and moulds around the child when sat in the seat.   The ventilation holes are genius perfect for thoose warm sticky weeks in summer and easy to wipe all the biscuit crums out of !

The system can also be used from birth with the use of the penut carrycot. Perfect for thoose sensible mums who want a lightweight compact travel system.

The full system is in store on display or call one of the its a baby girls for more information NOW. 0161 763 4463.

  • The brand new contoured vented seat performance system provides increased postural sport for your child as well as a one hand recline and interchangeable coloured seat liners
  • The easy to use pedal break is just a massive improvement on the stiff old sport buggy break
  • The new double kit and travel system adaptors give you the flexibility to safely mount a maxi cosi car seat onto the chassis of the Explorer

Now to the all important colours, the Explorer will be available in 5 colours, black and red, Black and Grey, Navy and Grey, Black and Green and all Green.  Once we have some images later this week we will post them on the blog as soon as possible.  The It’s a Baby team can’t wait for the Explorer to arrive but we are expecting demand will be high especially as only a small number of retailers will be able to access stock from the first consignment.  If your looking to purchase a Phil and Teds Explorer buggy soon give us a call and place your pre-order to avoid unnecessary disappointment.
