Gesslein Smiloo Happy
The Gesslein Smiloo Happy is a versatile, Smiloo range stroller with a forward-facing seat. Thanks to the stable yet lightweight chassis with wheels with suspension that can be locked, the Smiloo Happy can handle the city as well as an occasional less demanding terrain. The all-terrain version Smiloo Happy+ featuring larger wheels with air chambers and tire profile is also available. You will appreciate the spacious shopping basket and the quick, one-hand fold when going shopping or on an everyday urban walk.
The front-facing seat is wide and well padded to provide comfort for younger as well as older children. The backrest and the leg rest can be fully adjusted. Used with adapters, the stroller is compatible with Maxi-Cosi type car seats, and the Gesslein or the Indy carrycot.

Parent reviews of the Gesslein Smiloo Happy
- Very easy to push on rough terrains even with one hand.
- Good quality materials used.
- The seat is spacious enough for a bigger child.
- Not very heavyweight
- Spacious basket
- Not great in terms of suspension. Have to put pressure to get on curbs.
- Shaking and jerking on cobblestones but not noisy.
This is a good, budget-friendly stroller. The best thing about this stroller is its maneuverability on rough terrains. It felt like it was pushing itself. We did not have to put extra effort or strength to push the stroller even with a 20-month toddler sitting on it.
It has a decent suspension(not that great) and is a little bit jerky on cobblestones but not that noisy. It does not have a smooth transition on curbs, but a little bit of pressure helps.
Another good thing is that the cloth material is quite good in quality than its peers from the same price range. It looks elegant because of this.
