Say Hello to the New Arrival: Quicksmart the Aussie Juvenile Giant is Here

Press Release

Moms and dads can rejoice with the U.S. debut of QuickSmart, a clever range of products that do away with the trouble of setting up bulky and complex child equipment. With youngsters spending much of their early life being moved from strollers, to high chairs, to changing tables, bassinets and ride-on toys, Quicksmart provides quick and easy solutions for moms on the move.

Funtastic Limited, Australia’s largest toy distributor, is debuting its QuickSmart line of lightweight and innovative strollers, high chairs, travel bassinets and ride-on toys in the U.S.

So just how does QuickSmart help? With the most surprising and compact folds possible, allowing parents to ditch their heavy, clunky gear for light and convenient alternatives that they can trust. One of the favorites is a four-wheel wonder, the Easy Fold Stroller. It’s a lightweight stroller that can be opened or closed in seconds, even setting up with just one hand. It even packs into its own travel bag that can be carried over the shoulder. For even more portability there’s the innovative Backpack Stroller. Weighing less than 9 pounds it folds easily into a padded backpack, perfect for difficult places like the airport. Both revolutionary strollers have a unique folding system that’s a snap for any parent to operate.

Customers agree:

“We love this backpack stroller, it’s super light and fits in the overhead compartment of a plane. The fabric is very hard wearing and easy to wipe clean.”

“A brilliantly easy stroller to use and travel with. Took it recently to Europe for our 3 year old to use who was always happy to sit in it, which is a blessing in itself! We got many looks because it was different from what everyone else was using. We had no trouble taking it places and was easy to fold up and store, especially since we used it mainly on trains.”

Quicksmart can also help with one of the most difficult of situations, sleep time when out and about. The 3-in-1 Play Yard and 3-in-1 Travel Bassinet give parents a safe Easy Fold Stroller Open, and folded in bag and trusted bassinet that’s easy to set up for those days when you’re at the grandparents’, friend’s, or anywhere else. Plus, with the 3-in-1 Play Yard also turning into a bassinet and change table, and the 3-in-1 Travel Bassinet packing down into a diaper bag or changing mat, you’ll have everything you need in one easy package.

QuickSmart even has mealtime covered with the Easy Fold High Chair. It completely eliminates the hassle usually associated with high chairs, being quick and easy to set up while folding down safely and conveniently for storage. Definitely a secret to be shared by parents at playgroup.

Once a baby becomes mobile, parents can look to QuickSmart’s line of foot-to-floor ride-on toys to burn off their toddler’s extra energy before nap time. These toys are loved by parents for their convenient design nearly as much as the kids love using them, The Australian Design Awards recently recognized QuickSmart’s adorable Scramble Bug 4-wheeler as “an innovative product of quality, value and reliability in the marketplace.” Both the Scuttle Bug and the Scramble Bug offer sturdy design and a patented folding system that makes them easy to store, tote and pack.
