Pram Diaries Part II

PRESENTING......The Phil and Teds Smart Lux


This is actually a stroller that's sexy! It is a modern urban stroller that will give your child the COMFIEST ride they will experience. The seat is convertible (can lie flat, face parents or face the world) but that's not the most exciting part - it is completely cushioned. It easily qualifies for the Sleep Consultant Tick because almost every time my 15 month old sat in it she would fall asleep, that is just how comfy it. This pram is the equivalent of a massage chair for us tired mamas. I really can get a decent workout with this pram as it is so compact and light and easy to push around. (the fact that my daughter can sleep in it also means that I don't have to do that stop/start kind of walk that us mothers have come to know and detest!)

The air filled rear wheels and front wheel suspension apparently is what we can thank for the smooth
ride, you don't feel a single bump the whole trip and is so light to push. All this helps it to score the and the easy fold also makes it really a no brainer! Definitely a big Nana-Proof Tick. It also has up to 21 different riding options so every child will love it!

Never have I been able to give the highly coveted 
Tree-hugger Tick for a baby product review but I am proud to dish it out. The interior fabric in the bassinet is made from natural bamboo which makes it super comfy for your newborn. It is also freestanding so you don't need to buy a separate bassinet for your house, put this next to your bed at night and then click it easily onto the frame when you need to go out in the morning. I was really surprised by how deep and spacious it is, your baby will really be able to use it for the first few months of life. You can also buy a two piece fitted bamboo sheet set for the already plush mattress. See, this pram is already saving you money! 

As always, one of the most important features in a pram (other than it looking seriously stunning) is that it is Sun Safe. The Smart Lux has an exceptionally large canopy for full sun protection. Over at Phil and Teds they have cleverly designed a bonnet style sun canopy that with a quick little unzip, reveals a mesh extension that folds out further than any other that I have used. You can also look at the them from a very silent peek-a-boo flap. 
I think this gets another Sleep Consultant Tick don't you?


So would you like to know my confession with this pram? I just didn't expect it to be this sexy. I had truly thought the beauty and style was really left for Bugaboo and the like and others were about functionality. But I really take my (fedora) hat off to Phil and Teds. You have absolutely designed a really gorgeous pram that has everything! This is the pram that will really appeal to that fashion conscious. I am the first to admit that for me a pram has to look good as well as feel good!

In summary, this pram is sleek, sexy and oh so stylin'. 

Even my 3 year old was happy with the Smart Lux!
