Mountain Buggy® and phil&teds® win three Red Dot Awards

Mountain Buggy® and phil&teds® have earned three acclaimed Red Dot Awards for product design excellence. 

Mountain Buggy collected two red dots for their urban jungle – luxury collection and nano buggies and phil&teds collected one for their verve buggy. 

Chief Executive, Campbell Gower, says all three award-winning products showcase outstanding innovation, leading performance and first-class engineering.

“It’s a huge honour to be recognised as one of the world’s best in design. To see our name on the winners list alongside well-known brands such as Ferrari and Apple, is really inspiring.

“We’re a small company when compared to our competitors, but we have nearly 20 years of research and development experience behind us.”

He says “we pride ourselves on the design of our products that deliver superior form and function, while also maintaining a creative, iconic style that really sets us apart.”

The German Red Dot design awards have been presented internationally for 60 years – the event is recognised as one of the most renowned design competitions in the world.

Winners of the 2015 competition were selected by a panel of 38 industry experts, including eminent fashion designer, Datuk Jimmy Choo, from over 4,900 entries from 56 countries.

Mountain Buggy urban jungle™ - the luxury collection 

Statement by the jury 

"the use of classical materials and patterns provides the pushchair with a timelessly elegant appearance. Furthermore, its many practical detail solutions are convincing"

Mountain Buggy nano™ - the art of travelling light

Statement by the jury

"This high quality buggy impresses due to its elegant form, and because of its small pack size, it is an ideal travel companion"

phil&teds verve - urban inline style

statement by the jury

"verve delights with its great flexibility. Use of high quality materials, clear lines and an ergonomic design contribute further to the good overall impression"

Mr Gower hopes the recent trio of awards will continue to highlight the company as the baby brand of first choice for consumers.

“We want to help parents escape nursery prison and live a life without limit, with baby in tow. For us, it’s about consumers retaining a sense of self with products that fit with them, and make life that little bit easier.”
