Steelcraft Strider Compact

Love the Pram – Can you buy the bass pram? We have everything that goes on the pram but the actual pram isn’t very sturdy anymore. On to the fifth child and don’t want to buy a whole new pram.

Lightweight and easy to use – We bought this pram as a spare for our daughter, and I loved it. It is very light and easy to use. Also easy to clean! Would buy it again! Show details ·  1

Absolutely love it! – We bought the strider in 2018 for my daughter. We bought it knowing that we would have children in the future so loved that it could fit two. This year we had twins and panicked because we needed a pram to take our twins. It turned out that the strider could fit two capsules on it meaning it was absolutely perfect for our twins. It is not side by… Read more ·  1

side meaning we can actually fit in doorways and are able to get around easily. The frame is a tad heavy but that’s because it is so sturdy! Would definitely recommend it!

Perfect pram!! However we want to use a Maxi Cosi capsule ONLY!! – Can I use a Maxi Cosi capusle?? I don't want to hear they "have not been tested". Steelcraft and Britax do not have great reviews or safety ratings on their capsules so therefore I will NOT risk my childs life. I have heard by numerous people that you can use a Maxi Cosi capsule with the pram which is what I want to do as it has a five star safety… Read more ·  2

rating and have the best reviews. However can you use universal adapters for the pram? Can anyone help?? We are desperate. I would rather spend an extra $30 on a capsule and have it safe for my child then one where their heads roll around and the seat has to be propped up by cloths because of the design. I have NO complaints about the pram, we are expecting bub in October and come from a very small town so need to order our capsule ASAP! Thanks for reading any help would be appreciated.

Would not recommend – I’ve had the pram for years now, and hate it. It’s SO HARD to steer. Especially when you put the a kid in the second seat. Folding it is a pain because the front wheels have to go a certain way. My boys chewed the leather bar that is in front of them. Putting the second seat in is tricky and not a quick thing to do. Cleaning it is a mission as well.  Show details

Strider compact top seat – I have two strider compact prams. 1 a 2013 and 1 a 2015. The 2015 prams top seat catches as I move through the seat positions on both pram frames. Why is this and how can I stop it as I can't picture a baby liking being jolted around when thensrat is moved. Show details

It's good but not compact – It's a great sturdy pram, great when it's up and in use however, it takes up a lot of boot space and is quite complex to lift in and out of the boot. I found it more cumbersome than a small stroller. Show details

Unity Capsule Adaptor – I just wanted to know which adaptor to use for the britax unity capsule Show reply

Good pram but – I love this pram. I got one second hand but its missing the leg rest release button on one side so I can't adjust it up or down without shoving a kebab stick in it. Can I buy this part somewhere please? I really don't fancy carrying a kebab stick everywhere I go with this pram. Show details ·  1

I love love love my steelcraft pram – I am so happy with the steelcraft pram I have had it now for two babies I used it for 2 years with my firstborn and now 4 years later using it again. it is strong and folds easy . I love the room underneath for mum baby stuff shopping etc Show details ·  1

Fantastic pram, wouldn’t buy anything else! – I absolutely love this pram, I’ve had it for 9 months now and would never buy anything else. My baby has liked this pram ever since she was a newborn. I love how there’s the ability to attach a bassinet, capsule and second seat to this, as well as having the main seat face either forwards or backwards. I have never used this rain cover or mosquito… Read more ·  1

cover, but it is handy to know that it’s there. I really like how the handle adjusts, as well as being able to lay the main seat up or down along with the foot rest separately.

This is a tough pram that can be put through its paces and you don’t have to worry about it falling apart (however don’t try pushing it in sand, it gets stuck). This pram has excellent suspension, making it perfect for bumpy terrain. I love how easy it is to push down on the pram handle to lift the front wheels up to get up a gutter, for example.

The only downfalls about this pram is that it is hard to manoeuvre in small shops/tight spaces, the wheels are squeaky sometimes and it takes a bit of figuring out to be able to fold the pram up quickly (took me a while to figure out that the pram had to be dragged backwards prior to folding so that the front wheels would fold in properly). Also the pram is a little on the heavy side.

Overall I would highly recommend this pram, especially for the price!

Incredibly handy and compact – Was great to see my child through their newborn, infant and toddler years. Easy to use and easy to pack away after use. Great value for money and looks very nice. Show details ·  1

Perfect for all occasions – We bought this pram and it was above and beyond what we expected. It was easy to assemble and able to fit in all cars from small to large. The adaptors for the capsule made a smooth transition from car to pram. It has advisements for every new mum and dads height. It was easy to control and smooth. The under compartment made it easy to shop with. Show details ·  1

Amazing pram – I bought this when I had my second wish I bought it with my first its surprisingly lighter compared to the other prams love it because I can fold it with the double seats! Show details ·  1

Good sturdy pram – It’s a good sturdy pram and the fact it’s higher than most means you can wheel it right up to a table and it’s a perfect height. Can be tricky to fold down and you have to wiggle the wheels Show details ·  1

Great for multiple kids close in age – Great with big wheels for those who camp or do a bit of cross country walking. Love the steering, overall quality and comfort. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is the weight. It's heavier than others in the market. Show details ·  1

Great for walking – I don't drive, so our pram is used daily! Sometimes we're out in it all day. The accessories pack is amazing! Rain cover, wind cover & summer cover, all fit perfectly! Summer cover is 50+ spf rated. Also came with a newborn insert & padding on the shoulder straps. My daughter is happy to sit in it, sometimes even when we are just at home doing nothing! It has been so useful, right from newborn till toddler! We would be lost without ours! Show details ·  1

Love it – I have owed 3 strider compacts since having my first baby The Delux was my favourite! It looks great, so easy to steer, narrow enough for any shopping isle etc. practical and sturdy ! highly recommend Show details ·  1

Great so far – So far I have found this pram easy to use. I love the size. Its compact yet has plenty of storage. I also purchased the second seat and they both seem to fit perfectly without looking too cramped. Overall I dont have any real complaints with this product. Show details ·  1

Strider compact double pram – The best Pram Ive ever had it is very smooth and spacious for my two daughters i have a newborn and a two years old. We had to walk a lot as it was our only way of transport it was easy and comfortable for all of us I would recommend this to anyone with two children however ive had the strider compact for my first born and it was still as convenient and safe for a newborn all the way up to toddler age. Great for new mums and mums of two plus. Show details ·  1

It was a bad decision to buy… Read more

this pram I struggled each time I send it for repair and I wish I had a good result . The pram still making noise and it's not smooth while I push my baby is so uncomfortable i was clear that I want my money back because i had enough travelling 40 min in the car to repair it 3 times in less that 6 months and the issue is back again . I do not recomend this pram at all dont waist your money

Great Pram – I bought it from baby bunting for $589. Its comfy for my 9 week old baby and he can see me when Im pushing the pram. There is plenty of space at the bottom of the pram to store anything. And I like the option of adding a second seat. Cons are too heavy and bulky for me. And there is no handle to lift the pram when its folded. Show details ·  1

Great pram – Great pram to use at shoops easy to push turn big wheels great price son is comfortable in it had it 2 years now some as the day i got it flids uo 1 click Show details ·  1

Good for every day use – This pram is good for long term daily use, from newborn to toddler. It has all the necessary components you would need including lots of storage. I only stopped using it when my child turned 2 simply because we didn't need a pram that was so bulky anymore. Not very good for running Show details ·  1

AMAZING PRAM – Although big, the pram is lightweight and easy to take in and out of the car. It fits your child for many years especially when they are too tired to walk, it has a good amount of storage space and is easy to twist, turn and push wherever you are. Show details ·  1

Love it! – Absolutely love this pram, It's so cosy. Its got so much stuff and, Isn't too heavy for transporting it around. It has so many functions and, Can seriously fold down to a proper stroller size. It takes a corner of my boot up. Best part, The basket is super strong. It holds heaps!! Show details ·  1

Fantastic pram – Our Strider is 4.5 years old and still going strong. We have used it with the capsule travel system, one seat and now in the two seat combination. It collapses easily, maneuvers well, and the kids are comfy even as they get bigger Show details ·  1

Very solid but annoying squeaky sound – We got this pram November 2018 but we started regularly using it from June this year. My partner and I spend lots of time researching to find a good pram. After all those research and trying different prams, we finally came to the decision to get this pram. As we are planning to have second child, this pram looked really good for second seat and… Read more

also solid and spacious. We are very happy how spacious it is. I use this pram everyday and I can see my child is comfortable even though it took so long for him to like it. There are few things that I am not so happy about this pram. First thing is definitely the squeaky sound from the day 1. If we noticed this when we were trying at baby Kingdom, we wouldn’t buy this. And I read many reviews about this from years ago. Shouldn’t have this issue by now. Another thing is when the pram is parked in the bus, the front wheel moves really around to the side when bus turns. Don’t feel much comfortable with this. It will be better if all four wheels can be fixed in the position. Last thing is that the seat can’t really be flat. It’s not a big deal but it would be good if I can make it to flat when my child is asleep in it. Without these three issues I am really happy with this pram but the squeaky sound is biggest issue for me.
