In 2015, Mountain Buggy and phil&teds were recognised on the world stage at the prestigious German Red Dot Design Awards, with multiple products celebrated for excellence in design and innovation.
Mountain Buggy collected two Red Dot awards for the urban jungle™ luxury collection and nano™ buggies, while phil&teds received one Red Dot award for the 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 over 60 years and are 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 more than 4,900 entries across 56 countries.

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

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.”
