what's the opposite of Smart?,

This review is from: phil&teds Smart Buggy Bassinet and Stroller Bundle, Black (Baby Product)
My wife's 5', and I'm about 5'6", our baby is within the growth scales as indicated by our pediatrician, not too small, not big. In fact, at 6 months, she's about 13lbs, and can still take a comfortable nap in the bassinet. We got the set before she arrived, and bought the seat cushion separately and verso adapter when it came out. Without the verso, she loved being able to see what was going around, and the attached canopy works to either block the sun, or wind depending on the occasion. After getting the verso, we can actually bottle feed while we walk(we hold the bottle). Since the design is so thin and simple, we can walk in and out of any store without having to go through the wheelchair gates or subscribing to Costco-style warehouse stores.
Structurally, the aluminium frame is strong and simple, a push button locking feature on the left, and two cycling-style quick release levers secure the stroller in the open or closed positions(you need both hands but no feet). The seat...Read more

I love how different this stroller looks. The price is also really good for a stroller and bassinet compared to other products. The bassinet is pretty roomy and ventilated which is great. The whole stroller is pretty compact which means it fits much better in the trunk of the car and takes up less space in the house. It also means though that a chunky toddler isn't going to be comfortable in the seat.
Customer service from Phil & Teds is not great. They couldn't tell us how to remove the wheels, no tips on how to fold the stroller when the seat isn't on it (lift it and push down the frame towards the front wheels). They also missed really obvious design points like adjustable handles, proper recline, being able to store the stroller standing up, and the fact that you have to purchase extra pieces to make the seat rear-facing is ridiculous.
Regardless, I like this stroller for going to the mall or stores. The lack of suspension means I can't wheel it around...Read more

I purchased the Smart Buggy Stroller and Peanut Bassinet bundle when my baby was 3 months old. I thought we might use the bassinet as a place for her to sleep when we travel, but it's very narrow and constricts her arms, so we probably won't use it at all. That said, she's big for her age, and I'm sure the bassinet would have seen plenty of use if I had purchased the stroller when she was a newborn.
Given her age/size, I wish I had just purchased the stroller with the verso adaptor. I bought the verso adaptor separately, so that she can face me, and so far I'm loving it. It's the perfect size for my height (5'4), it's small enough to wheel up to the table at a restaurant without feeling rude (and the baby is seated high enough to engage with us), and it's very easy to maneuver in the city (it's hard not to feel smug when you zip past mothers with bulkier strollers). Other reviewers have complained about the shocks--it's not a bump-free ride, but my baby doesn't seem to...Read more
