i wanted the Hauck Malibu Stroller & Pram before i even got pregnant, but after being sooo hard to find i seen this one on sale. it was love at first sight!!! the basket is small but if that's my only complaint its a winner!!! <3 and they really should throw in some sort of cushion/cover instead of leaving it totally empty.

We were looking for a stroller with the bassinet option, looked great, and wasn't ridiculously expensive. The Smart Buggy was the best choice for us. It's so lightweight and easy to maneuver. The bassinet is great! I love that my baby can sleep comfortably anywhere. We also use it for her to sleep in when we visit family. She sleeps better in the bassinet than the pack 'n play. It has also come in handy when there isn't a changing station in a public restroom. I just put down a changing pad underneath her and change her in it. We also have the car seat adapter but never used it. We have the Snug Ride 35 and it's too heavy for the stroller frame. Even if we had a smaller Snug Ride, I wouldn't use it with the stroller. I read somewhere that it's not good for babies to sit in the car seat for long periods, it's bad for their backs/posture. This stroller isn't meant to be used on rough terrain. It wasn't a problem for me since we live in a city and we also have a jogging stroller. The only real con for us is that it's too small for my 6'4" husband to push comfortably, at least when it has the bassinet attached (we haven't used it with just the seat yet). It's not a problem for me since I'm short. I also don't like that the cushion for the seat is sold separately. I can do without a cup holder but it seems to me that the cushion should be included. Overall, I really love this stroller and have definitely recommended it to friends.

I love this stroller, and I'm a mother of 5... I've had many stroller and this is my favorite.. I s light way, easy to fold and open (1 hand actually) and easy to steer, i use just one hand to handle everything.. My kids are 6 months, 2 years and 4 years (the younger ones) and i really need to do multiple things at a time.. I have the vibe but is too bulky and heavy, i live it in the garage and just use it in my neighborhood to exercise..

Negatives:

If you are planning to use this stroller with a car seat (since infants can't go in the main seat until 4 mos), and you live in the US you must use with Graco Snugride. Period. I already had a Maxi Cosi Mico and they are not compatible. The Maxi Cosi attachment advertised is for a different Maxi Cosi car seat that isn't sold in the US, neither is the attachment if you wanted to try it anyway which hasn't been tested by the company for safety.

Also,there is no existing snack tray or belly bar for this stroller. The one on P&T's website isn't for the smart buggy. And the basket underneath is super small. My diaper bag won't even fit.I'm returning it for something that had more options and isn't such a national/international hassle.

Positive:

I love the look of this stroller and the price. I had been searching for something that was light weight and easy to travel with, but that also had bassinet /car seat capability.

This stroller would be great if you were only using it with the main seat.I did really like the cushions for the seat. And is best suited for busy city living. It is narrow,folds easily and super compact, and would probably be easy to maneuver on and off public transport. Still very minimal storage though.

this carriage gives a very bumpy ride. When I walk my daughter around she feels every bump, the carriage doesn't glide well.

We got this bundle after exhausting research on traditional and high-end strollers. We love that the Smart Buggy is very lightweight, compact and sleek. I initially thought the bundle was absolutely the way to go, but it was a little bit of a waste in our case: our newborn hates to lay flat (and have since read that many newborns do, in fact)! So, in hindsight, it would have been much smarter for us to have just purchased the buggy and the carseat adaptor - this would allow our newborn to not only ride in the stroller, but we wouldn't have to transfer her from her carseat to the peanut basket and back again (b/c let's face it: when they're newborns, mom never wants to wake them if she needn't!). Of course, if your baby doesn't mind being on his/her back, then this is a fantastic option! Overall, we love this stroller.

My husband and I wanted a stroller with the following criteria: a bassinet, a parent facing option, lightweight, fits easily into a compact car trunk, sturdy feel and smooth operation. Most strollers that meet all of our criteria were in the $500+ price range. The smart, with the addition of a verso adapter, is everything we were looking for at a great price! We plan to use it as our primary stroller for about the first year. We'll then purchase a running stroller and the smart will become our car/ travel stroller.
We also looked at several umbrella-type strollers but after driving the smart could not bring ourselves to spend money on something that just felt flimsy (even the high-end ones!). The smart drives and maneuvers like a luxury stroller. It is smooth and solid feeling. It also seems built to last.
My only complaint is that I wish more of the accessories were included for the price.
