Britax Smile 2
The Britax Smile 2 is an improved version of the Britax Smile. The stroller has undergone a substantial redesign. The most important was the change of the seat type. You can now recline it completely flat, backrest independently from the leg rest. There is an extra strap between the child’s legs for even greater safety. The new hood comes in extra large size with an extendable part without mesh. Even the front wheels now have air-filled tires, the wheel spokes have been changed as well.
The Smile 2 remains true to the philosophy of a huge shopping basket. It should bring a smile to your face. Scotchlite reflective elements help improve visibility even in poor lighting conditions. With the purchase of optional parts, you can convert the stroller into any desired set, or you can buy it in a complete stroller system.

A sturdy stroller that is easy to push.
- high handle - we are both tall (husband 193 cm) and I refuse to slouch with the stroller
- raised rear axle, I don't kick it when taking a long step and I don't damage my shoes
- small pocket on the seat for keys and mobile phone
- swivel and reclining seat on the pushchair mode
- the backrest can be raised to a full sitting position (no more half-sitting)
- a giant hood that covers the whole baby (I don't have to deal with any additional shades or umbrellas)
- the seat is higher, for better eye contact with the baby
- a giant basket with a large carrying capacity of 7 kg (with three children this is a must)
- inflatable wheels (we often go off-road)
- lightweight - 13 kg
- folds easily and takes up little space in the boot of the car
- no adapters for the car seat (when it is also from Britax)
- high quality
- great driving characteristics
- reflective elements
- amazing foot brake
- I have a problem with the bassinet that I have to use both hands to fold the canopy; fortunately the bassinet is only used for a while, but maybe my husband doesn't mind at all
- it doesn't have a handbrake, but I think that's too much to ask for
- it doesn't go to full recline, I mean it's not 100% flat, but babies are supposed to have their heads higher than their legs anyway, so I don't see it as a total disadvantage
I bought the stroller for my third child, so I already knew exactly what I wanted. I chose carefully for almost 2 months and chose a really luxurious stroller.
- Large, UPF50+ hood
- Large basket
- Reversible seat unit
- Inflatable wheels
- Height-adjustable handlebar
A superb stroller with a reversible seat, a large hood, a large basket, and inflatable wheels.
