Phil & Teds® has also released several opportunities for upgrading their strollers to prams.
With a peanut bassinet, you can change your Smart stroller into pram-mode. The peanut bassinet is extremely small though. It carries up to 20 lbs, but many parents haven’t been able to use it past the 2-3 months age. The peanut doesn't come with a canopy, and you will need to use the canopy from your Smart stroller.
The Smart model is good for anyone who likes to spruce things up. The bassinet itself only comes in black, but by using the stroller canopy, you can add extra pop by choosing something like tangerine, bubblegum blue or maybe hot pink. The canopy doesn’t come with extended sunshade. But, like the ROAN®, you can pop the canopy back and forth to ensure shade when it’s needed. The stroller itself is customizable in a variety of bright colors.
Phil & Teds® Smart, Dot & Navigator
A few things we don’t like for the Smart frame is that the handle seems to sit almost in the middle above the bassinet. The wheels are small, and it doesn’t look like it offers much in terms of suspension making it inconvenient for rougher terrain. This is certainly a pram that may be most convenient for walks around the city or at the mall - particularly given its very slim frame (53cm/20.8") making it easy to navigate inside stores.
The Peanut bassinet also fits with the classic, sport, dash, explorer, hammerhead and s3 frames.
With the Snug bassinet from Phil & Teds® you can also change you Dot or Navigator stroller into a pram. The Snug bassinet has a sportier look than the Smart and Peanut combination. These two prams will do well on rough terrain given their large air-filled tires and durable frames. We really love the Auto-Stop feature of the Navigator, which ensures your pram stops instantly should you let go for a split-second. And the Dot offers unique Aerotech puncture-free tires, which provides for Air-tire ride without the air.
The Snug bassinet also looks like it provides a lot more comfort and warmth than the Peanut bassinet, and it’s larger lasting for a longer time.
Like the Britax®, Phil & Teds® strollers are amazing for carrying multiples. The Dot and Navigator both offer 15 versions of carrying two children - newborn/toddler, 2 newborns, or 2 toddlers. Unfortunately, none of these positions incorporates the bassinet. For the newborn/toddler positions you will have to use either a car seat or the double kit + cocoon baby carry cot.
