Sleek, Efficient and Corners Like a Dream

phil&teds smart lux(2)By Lisa Dutton…

I figured a recent trip to West Edmonton Mall – the largest mall in North America – was the perfect opportunity to try out my new Phil&Teds Smart Lux. The Smart Lux is a compact single stroller that takes up hardly any room in our hatch. It packs and travels as light as an umbrella stroller (26 lbs), but with the luxury Phil&Teds has become known for. The Smart Lux folds easily and the frame locks automatically.

phil&teds smart lux reviewWe were putting in 6+ hour days in West Ed, and Johnny stayed comfortable and content. By the end of the day (feet throbbing) I actually looked down at him chilling in his Smart Lux, and felt jealous! Air filled tires and 4 wheel suspension provide as super smooth ride and it maneuvers like a dream. I didn’t feel like an elephant trudging into my favourite stores to browse. I could glide through shops confidently knowing I wasn’t going to bowl anything over. The Smart Lux turns tight corners (it’s a narrow 21.5 inches).

phil&teds smart lux review

The Smart Lux has a convertible main seat and offers 21 riding options taking your baby from newborn to 4 years old (44lbs)! I currently have my seat rear-facing since Johnny is still just 6 months old. The security of being able to see me keeps him content. This summer I expect to turn him out to face the exciting world around him. My favourite feature of the Smart Lux: the main seat also has a lay-flat mode. This lay-flat option not only allows your baby to sleep comfortably, it also provides a clean and convenient place for diaper changes. Not once did I have to trek around a massive mall looking for a change table; I had one right in front of me. You can attach the Smart Lux Bassinet (sold separately) to create a bassinet style pram. Pick up a Smart Lux car seat adapter to turn it into a convenient travel system.

phil&teds smart lux ruby strollerThe sleek Smart Lux design is simple and classy. It has Phil&Teds good looks! No crazy prints, just simple black with an accent of your choice. I picked a neutral taupe colour for my seat (the colour seen above is ruby). It is plush and wipes clean easily. The canopy is large, and has an extension that zips open for additional UV protection. The parcel tray below the stroller can hold up to 11 lbs of baby gear (or mama’s shoppin). Foot brake is easily accessible.

Phil&Teds describes the Smart Lux as a “compact luxury stroller on air” – I agree. It truly helped make our West Ed adventure a pleasurable one.

  • The Smart Lux has a convertible main seat and offers 21 riding options taking your baby from newborn to 4 years old (44lbs)!

  • I would love to win this for my friend. Without going into details, life has thrown her a curveball. She doesn’t drive and needs to take the bus everywhere. The stroller she has now is inexpensive, old and a hassle to maneuver and collapse. I would love to make her life a little easier at least in one way.

  • I love how versatile it is, so that you only need 1 stroller throughout your entire child’s life! Plus the larger wheels! That is a huge deciding factor for me, cause they are so much easier to push through anything!

  • I would love to win this because I am starting to save up for my future grandbabies and it looks like it would be easy to open and close and move. I think mine when my kids were littler weighed 100 pds it was so heavy and I had to fight with it to close.

  • I would Love to Win this stroller , and with 21 riding options would be great for any & everyday task or venture that we go through .

  • I would love to win this for my son, he absolutely loves stroller rides, and with this lightweight and compact stroller (with the added comfort and support) we can travel everywhere this summer and enjoy the beautiful weather! It is so important for family bonding time to be able to share those moments together… and phil and teds smart luxe is the perfect way to do it!!!

  • I love how this stroller may go all the way down and can be used as a change table.

  • Love that it folds up so small! I love our current stroller, but it’s a bit of a beast to transport

  • I would love to win this stroller because of it’s large canopy and how it can even be zipped open.

  • i love that it has 21 options and that the color doesn’t have designs or characters on it. I would LOVE to have it

  • i would love to win this because i am pregnant at 16 and anything could truly help out. and i love all the different functions it has.

  • I would love to win so I can actually take a stroll with my lil guy. He hates the stroller we have now.

  • Compact, smooth ride, much needed with my new one week old little man and two bigger kids

  • This stroller looks especially comfortable for baby. and I love the easy access to the storage underneath. Our current stroller has no room to actually get the items into the basket.

  • I would love to win this because it is so compact and light, yet fully functioning (more so than most strollers too!). Would be great for travel, and for trips to the mall (love that it is narrow and can turn sharply – some stores are just so hard to navigate with a regular stroller!). I am happy to see it can be used up to 44 lbs too – my baby is big for her age, and she will outgrow most compact strollers early, whereas this one she will be able to use for a long time. Sounds like a great stroller!

  • Besides being a beautiful stroller I love the big canopy, all the position options, color options, I love that it goes up to 4 yrs 44lb and lays flat!

  • that it has 21 riding options! thats amazing! i like that it lays flat and folds up easily

  • It is great that you can use this stroller for so many years – from newborn to 4. I like how easily it folds and stores in the car.

  • I like that there is 21 riding options and you can use it from newborn to 4 years old 44lbs.

  • I would love this as I am about to be a first time mom and two I could use this when I have my niece.

  • I’d love to win because it looks like a great lightweight small stroller that would be great for travel and shopping! I love that the seat can parent face too!

  • I would love to win for baby #2. I love that it has a lay flat mode so it could be used from day 1.

  • I’d love to win this for my family! We just had a new baby and our stroller we have has been through 3 kids already! It would be a treat to have a new one.

  • I would like to win this stroller as my daughter could really use this amazing stroller to make her day easier when she is out and about with her little one.

  • I love that it comes with 21 different riding options! Would love to win this for my sis-in-law.

  • Looks so easy to use and how easily it folds up would be a huge improvement over my own stroller!

  • I’d like to win because we just welcomed baby #2 and I have come to realize how poorly some of the pretty baby gear items I picked out the first time around actually function. This stroller not only looks good, but the design looks very functional.

  • 6 hours at West Ed! Too bad they didnt make an adult size Smart Lux 🙂 I have never had one but after reading this review it sounds like a huge value. Lasting through the first 4 years (44lbs) is awesome value. Tight corner turns are so important when babe is sleeping! Would love to win!

  • I love Phil & Ted, they are my favourite stroller brand.. and since I’ve had my daughter, my previous stroller is just not working for me. An umbrella stroller is too small, lacking in storage space, and uncovered… but I don’t need a giant one anymore either. I’d just like something small but not TOO small that will work for both kids (I usually wear my daughter, but she gets stroller privileges sometimes too.)

  • I would love to win this because I’m a bit of a stroller whore, having a dayhome with kids from 1 to 10 yrs.

  • I’d love to win this because of the lay flat position (among other amazing things about this stroller)!

  • The lay flat feature really appeals to me as well as the feature where you can have the seat facing you so you can see your child. Great stroller!

  • There are many features I like about this stroller, but I really like how you can change the positions (rear or forward facing). I’ve always wanted a stroller like that!

  • Love the recline and the air filled tires! Would love this gorgeous stroller for my little guy!

  • The wheels look awesome! I’m so tired of strollers that have rigid tires with no bounce at all

  • I am entering your giveaway.
    In response to your question of Why would you like to win this gorgeous stroller?
    I want to win this Phil&Teds Smart Lux Stroller so i can give it to a friend who just had a baby.
    She can’t afford to buy very much so this would be great for her.
    Thank you for having this giveaway!!!!!!!!

  • I’d like to win for our baby due in July 2014. The feature i like the most is super smooth ride and it can be maneuvered easily.

    Thank you!

  • I like the 21 riding options taking your baby from newborn to 4 years old (44lbs) feature the most.

  • The 11lbs of baby gear/shopping is awesome! We don’t have a vehicle so that would come in handy for buying milk 🙂

  • I would love to win this for my friend! I think it’s great the stroller features a lay-flat option, which, as you pointed out, makes diaper changes easy! I’m also impressed it can accommodate a newborn baby OR a 4-year-old! Wow! Thanks for the chance to win!

  • I love the air filled tires! That would be perfect for taking our little ones on a walk through the park.

  • I would love to win this for my baby girl, she is 4 weeks old and that would be perfect for takr her to the park. All the features are really great!!

  • I would love to win because i’m looking for a lightweight stroller that’s great for travel

  • I would be most excited about the fact that this stroller has a lay-flat mode. We love to being active and going on long walks so being able to change his diapers easily would be great!

  • The canopy is large, and has an extension that zips open for additional UV protection. It’s so hot here, protection is key!

  • I would like to win because I spend lots of time at West Ed with the baby and Lisa made this sound like the perfect mall cruising stroller!

  • Would love to win it because of the great features, that it fits newborn to 4 year old and the design
    Thanks for the chance

  • I LOVE how efficient this stroller is while still being extremely light weight. I have always wanted a P&T stroller!

  • I love the look and that it is so functional and can be used from newborn to up to 4 years old!

  • I really like the size of the stroller – baby is comfortable but the stroller isn’t so bulky that you can’t take it into stores.

  • Phil&Teds is a great quality brand. We have their jogging stroller and I’d love a smaller one for shopping.

  • I like how many travel options there are – 21 is more than what we would need but useful depending on when and where you are.

  • That it lays flat out. Beautiful! I would love to win this for my Sisters Shower!

  • I like that this stroller takes your baby from newborn to 4 years old with 21 riding options

  • I would love to win this stroller. I am pregnant with baby number 5 right now and have nothing for him as I got rid of everything, and this stroller seems so easy to maneuver with one hand leaving my other hand open to hold my 1.5 year Olds hand! Thanks for this chance to win!!!!

  • i love the design and the fact that you can store alot of stuff. Also there’s 21 riding options?!?! WOW

  • Anyone with a child under 4 would want one! So many great features and will be used for years (newborn to 4 years).

  • The air filled tires and maneuverability would make pushing this stroller easy. It can fit a child until 44 pounds, so is multi-function.

  • I love how narrow it is! I have very specific size restrictions for my vehicle and this would be perfect 🙂

  • I just found out I’m going to be a grandmother again, and I know my daughter would love this, it has everything she wants in a stroller

  • I love the lay flat option. It would make a great gift for my friend who is expecting this summer.

  • The lay flat option! I’ve been warned by my mommy friends that this is one of the key things i should be looking for when purchasing a stroller

  • I would love to have this awesome stroller so that I can take my great nephew out for a walk when I look after him (2 to 3 days per week). I have a badly crippled hand and the stroller his parents have is far too heavy and clumsy for me to be able to use. This one would be perfect and I wouldn’t have to keep little Magnus cooped up in the house when we could be out for some great walks!

  • i like how many options there are, yet it looks so simple. this would be great for my new little nephew.

  • I like that the main seat also has a lay-flat mode which makes it easy to change diapers quickly on the go!

  • I used to have a double stroller, but i got rid of it because it took up way to much space & was really bulky. I would love to win this because it looks like it would work great in the little space we have & it’s really easy on the eyes!

  • I’d like to win this because it sounds like a great stroller. I like that he seat reclines and that it turns tight corners. My sister has a stroller that doesn’t drive or turn very well, it’s awful.

  • I love how how convenient the stroller is – lightweight, grows with the baby (nothing like switching out a stroller every couple of months) and a smooth glide what else can you ask for in a stroller

  • I love that it is compact, but more luxurious than an umbrella stroller! I also love the seating positions!

  • I would love to win this for my daughter because I absolutely love the lay-flat-mode! Being out and about with a baby and needing a clean, safe place to change a diaper is sometimes extremely difficult. This would be perfect!

  • I love how comfortable her little guy looks in the stroller. Many strollers won’t even work for young babies and you have to use carseat adapters so I love that this one does. We are expecting another baby later this year and another stroller would be a huge help since our youngest now is only a year and half old.

  • Ok, I could really use this stroller right about now! My stroller broke yesterday (one of the front wheels broke off) after 6 years of use.

  • I love that it has 4 wheel suspension and air filed wheels. It might actually make for a quiet ride around the neighborhood, rather than sounding like a small bulldozer going over every line in the sidewalk twice!

  • I would like to win this because it is compact. I travel with a set of triplets fairly often and they need quite a bit of equipment, so every inch of space we can save is great.

  • I have a little one on the way and this would be perfect for us when we have mommy and me outings.

  • This would be amazing to win for our new baby who is joining us this August! We live in the big city, so take public transport everywhere and this stroller looks well designed to be easy for me to use on crowded buses or subways, as well as busy downtown streets and malls! It’s also nicely equipped with the sun shade with UV protection for our walks to the nearby park complex! And, I love that it has a sleek, stylish design! Thanks for the opportunity!

  • I would like this stroller mainly because it would make my wife the happiest person in the world!! We really need a new stroller for my daughter and for when we have another baby.

  • Would love to win for my girlfriend and daughter. She is always nagging me about needing a new stroller!

  • This is a awesome stroller and I have heard so many great things about this stroller!!! I love how it offers 21 riding options. I also like that you can change the seat positions depending on how old your child is. Love love this stroller!!!!!
