Steelcraft Strider DLX Travel System

Excellent – Our bubs is nearly 7 months old now and the stroller is still like new. The Handle height is adjustable (great for tall people or Dads), and the wheels can be locked at the front. Is very easy to fold once you have the hang of it (with or without the seat attached). It has excellent maneuverability and is light and easy to handle. Canopy is fully… Read more

extendable including zip open mesh window for air circulation.

We shopped around for ages but hubby & I finally agreed on this one, and we have never regretted it. We have it in the toffee colour, and get many compliments. Having a very Prem baby it was so handy to have the capsule that also attached to a wheel base - we felt she was safe & snug in the capsule and never had to wake her to get her out of the car seat. We didn't purchase the bassinet and have not regretted that. We found we used the capsule when out shopping (as long as you are not shopping for hours at a time - not that you would with a new baby!!!) and used the stroller seat when out on longer walks. The advantage of having the bassinet would be if you go out visiting and could leave the baby sleeping in it as a day bed - but we found it was easier for people to visit us!

I absolutely love this stroller and would buy it again if I had the choice. Hubby loves it as well. Well worth the price tag and we will be using for a long time yet as it it suitable for a baby up to 17kg. Great stroller! We purchased the capsule and the stroller and it was worth every penny. So convenient to be able to unclip the the capsule from the car base and put it straight into the stroller base (with some practice it gets easier) without disturbing a sleeping baby. It is easier to maneuver, excellent quality, the colours are great and it comes with fantastic extras (UV protector, rain protector, sleeping bag, newborn head snuggler, 5 points height adjustable harness with shoulder pads & foot muff with the capsule). Love that you can choose which way the baby faces. It also has great storage room in the basket. The wheelbase is quite wide but this adds to the stability of the stroller. In size comparison to other strollers of the same quality it's not that different, but when shopping you have to use the wheelchair access, and watch out for small doorways. The stroller seat does not lay totally flat, but you can purchase the bassinet for this purpose.

Excellent – I originally brought this pram as we knew I needed to have a c-section to have my son. I needed a pram that was light and easy for someone who has just have major surgery to use... I found everything I needed in the STRIDER DLX. Its a great pram and the added extra's that you can buy are the best. I've had the capsule and the bassinet and to be… Read more

honest its the first pram I've had where I haven't had to worry that my baby would get to old or to big to it. Some of my baby group friends have just changed their prams to upmarket strollers due to the fact that their big Gordy 3 wheelers got too much for them or their 1 year olds have out grown their "baby pram" with there moving about and throwing the pram off balance...to me it seems total stupid to shell out $400 dollars on a "baby pram" to shell out another $100 - $300 dollars a year or so later.

Some people thought I was silly for spending the money I did to get the strider DLX and all it's bits but when you work it out your WASTING MONEY to buy anything else. You could go on the waiting list to hire a baby capsule at around $80 a month, a baby capsule that, while I'm sure the lady who hires them does her best to wash the linings, the capsule has probably been used and soiled but more babies then I care to think about. To top this off that capsule which I could have hired for $80 a month for 3 - 6 months doesn't fit into my pram. So call me a snob I brought the fansy capsule.

As for the bassinet, Why spend $200 or more on a portacot with a bassinet to go and see those ever nagging grandparents when you could have the bassinet that not only fits in your pram but is lighter by nearly 13kg then a portacot. It fits nicely into the car and you can put baby items in it while your driving. The best feature of the bassinet is the zip open section... countless days I spent in the park watching my older daughter play whilst my son (now 6 months and still uses the bassinet) would lay in his bassinet sleeping often he would wake up and lay there watching the leaves above move in the breeze. But the zipper section had another use for a sometimes over tired or over stimulated little man, if you open the zipper section and open the cover as far as it goes (almost all the way) and cover the mesh section with a light wrap it only ever took me a few minutes to put a cranky little man to sleep like this... It was a god send. We have also taken it on the plane a few times, it's really light and really quite portable.

The best bit of all is this pram grows with your child... from new born and parent facing to older outward facing children. I love this pram... and I know its cheaper now then when I brought it but I still think I got a bargain. This pram is the best... I have had 3 babies and I've gone through 4 prams and this one is by far the best... easy to use, looks great. not really a con but my baby doesn't need it anymore so I have the capsule up for sale atm, kingfisher with all its bits only 3 months old (I had a 54cm baby). Happy to post from Canberra $250 0448883205

Excellent – Fantastic pram and would definitely buy again. Removing the capsule from the car and putting it onto the pram makes it very easy to do quick shopping. Would get the bassinette for #2 baby. Infant Carrier is really practical and makes life easy to transfer a young baby straight from the car into the stroller for a quick spin around the shops… Read more

without waking them up. Great to bring the baby straight in from the car to the house when it’s cold, too. And as it takes a moment to strap baby into the infant carrier, it’s nice to do this inside rather than doing it in the car. Attachment to stroller legs is simple. Infant Carrier faces you, and both you and baby can look at each other when walking. Infant Carrier also has a retractable hood and a great matching removable snuggly cover which protects baby from the weather when out walking on a cold day. Securing to and removing from base in the car is really easy once you do it a couple of times. Removable and height adjustable shoulder straps means baby’s head is stable in the capsule. 5 point harness.

Stroller is easy to insert into legs. Can collapse to fit into boot, but collapses better when you remove the stroller from the legs/frame (easy to do). Option to have baby facing you or looking outward. Has three recline settings so you can tilt baby up when he/she can sit up better, to see more. The 4-wheeler stroller allows for a huge basket underneath which provokes many positive comments from other mums. Safety strap is really handy too, particularly when it’s windy. Comes with a plastic weather protector as well as a black mesh cover which has been priceless – not just for walking in the sun, but to make a dark cover for baby to sleep in stroller. Both of these additions are UVF 50+.

Stroller comes with adjustable shoulder straps (3 point harness) so baby is less likely to slouch or slide around, as well as fantastic snuggly sleeping bag. This is removable for when baby gets bigger or for when it’s warmer weather. No need for a blanket with this all zipped up! As baby gets heavier, Infant Carrier can become a bit heavy to carry, but there’s really no need to carry it far, just from the car into the house. The capsule has a curved back and it isn’t designed to keep a baby in it for long periods at a time, so if you do transfer it to the stroller legs, make sure you don’t let your baby sleep in it for hours.

Stroller does take up a fair bit of the boot in a medium-sized car (eg Mazda3 sedan) and it is somewhat heavy to lift into the boot, but I believe all strollers like this are around the same weight. It would be great if the stroller reclined a bit further back to be completely flat, like some brands do.

Great quality product – This stroller seems to be unbreakable it's always fully packed with stuff and constantly being bashed about either by kids, or buy us constantly loading stuff on top of it and it generally being used a lot in the past 5 or so years of owning. It's heavy for a reason it's because it's heavy duty. Quality, longevity, strength. Heavy and large.

Makes Life Easy – This pram has been wonderful! We have the car capsule which made life so easy when my son was younger. We could go anywhere and it wouldnt matter if he fell asleep in car or pram since we could just take the capsule anywhere, The pram itself is comfortable, stable and very easily manouvered. It is a bit wide for at the shops but thats the only… Read more

time it really bothers me. Altogether a great pram. Makes outings with newborn a lot easier, big basket, handle height adjustment allows for all heights well. Bit too wide, brake is a bit sticky to release sometimes, one child capacity so have to upgrade for second baby

Good pram, shame it is so heavy and bulky! – I bought a strider DLX model in kingfisher blue! Lovely color, material is really nice too. Baby seemed comfortable in the pram too. Love the large hood and large shopping basket, but I like to do a lot of walking on all kinds of terrains and usually like to have only 1 pram that I can take shopping, walking, etc. This was just too heavy, wide… Read more

and bulky I ended up selling it after few months! seat can face either way, large shopping bakste, not too expensive and comes with accessories (good quality) heavy, bulky, wide, does not take second seat

Terrible – I truely wish i never bought this pram... I am constantly worried about the safety of my baby in this stroller... I like it how you can interchange the seat/bassinet etc. It looks stylish. I have had nothing but issues with the wheels and screws falling out of the seat..

Great system for young babies, then we ran into problems – I loved the concept of the carrier going from the car straight to the pram without waking baby, so I bought one as soon as the Strider DLX came out. Unfortunately after bub was six months old and grew out of the carrier, she hated going in the seat. The main problem was that she couldnt see all around her and when she was supported and laying back… Read more

she had a limited view. And of course she never went to sleep in it.

Then when the 'H' bar on the pram broke at the joins (my fault), I rang the manufacturer and was told you can't get replacement parts, you'll have to buy a whole new pram. So considering they are a little expensive and my bub won't sit in the seat anyway, I now have to buy a new stroller and the broken pram is in the garage collecting dust.

I now wish I had of bought a less expensive version and from a manufacturer that can provide service or replacement parts. Great use with the carrier from car to pram. Pram folds up nicely and is able to stand upright, so perfect for the car. Comes in a great range of colours (we bought the kingfisher colour). And I love the sun protection and the peep hole in the canopy hood. Unable to get replacement parts. Was useless for us once bub was in the seat. And the seat is rather bulky and doesnt fold up.

Bad – Overall I wouldn't buy this pram again. I'd definitely go for something smaller and more lightweight. The main thing that turned me off this pram was the width of the wheels and constantly getting stuck while out shopping (very annoying not to mention embarrassing) Reverse seat. Bassinet. Kingfisher Blue colour. Very wide back wheels - can't fit… Read more

through normal supermarket checkouts (only disabled or self-serve)

Feels heavy to steer

very bulky - takes up the entire boot (small car) and makes it difficult to see out of rear window.

Seat back doesn't reline so baby can't stretch out to sleep (seat only tilts back)

Heavy!

Good value for money – I've had this pram for 4 years and am now using it for my second child. It's easy to use, the canopy and basket are huge. The accessories are perfect from the sun cover to the mosquito net aswell as the tinted rain cover. It's easy enough to use, my only issue is having to take it apart to be able to fold it down to fit in my boot.

5 Grandchildren later – I purchased 1 each for both of my daughters. Purchasing from Baby to Kids Rosny. To be sure both prams were put through their paces. Having the carcapsules a blessing. It is a shame they have been discontinued, however both prams have been outstanding. The ease of moving capsules to cars easy for both my daughters. Manuevering was instinctive as… Read more ·  2

was the application of breaking system.Built to last my only issue was with the harness complexity. I'm guessing the design was to outsmart the toddler age. Best $800 investment Steel craft.

Wonderful pram! Owned it for 1 1/2 years. Would buy again – I used this for my son from when he was a newborn right up until he outgrew it (about 1 1/2). It was fantastic- especially as a newborn. The infant carrier was awesome. Being able to transfer him from car to pram without waking him was a God send, as a sleep deprived new parent. My son did outgrow the infant carrier much quicker than expected,… Read more

which was a shame, but so worth it for the time we had it.

We also had the bassinet, which we never used- never had a time where it was needed. So I wouldn't bother buying that again.

It's very easy to maneuver and feels light when steering it. However please keep in mind it is quite heavy to lift in and out of the car. I'd had an emergency c-section and my husband had to be there to lift the pram in and out of the car for much longer than if I'd had a lighter pram. It is very wide. I didn't have any problems at Coles/Woolies etc. But there's no way you'd ever get into most other shops. It is noticeably larger than most prams. Upside of this is it feels very stable and you have loads of storage (it could easily carry nappy bag, handbag and more).

The build quality is great, nothing feels flimsy. The material is lovely, easy to clean (which you will do often) but it does fade a bit. I had the red Strider and it had faded a bit in the year and a half, even though it was usually just spot cleaned and rarely in the sun. Fabric never frayed or ripped.

Overall, I'd highly recommend it and if I were to have another baby I would definitely look into buying one of these again.

Happy customer! – The steelcraft strider dlx 3 has been a great pram to push for all 3 of my children, it has done us well and is very easy to push, fold, unfold etc. Was very useful with the capsule for travel system mode which made transferring baby from car to pram so much easier for us without waking baby. The easy use of pram. Front swivel wheel sticks!

Great looking stroller, has many uses folds & fairly flat in the boot – I bought this pram as I loved the look. It has been a fantastic pram and I love how I can Have the seat facing whichever way i like as well as have the ability to use a bassinet, seat or capsual in it. The only issues I found where the back wheels, I found they are very big and sometimes get in the way when going through doors or down isles in a… Read more

small shop. Great looking stroller, has many uses folds & fairly flat in the boot back wheels are big and stick out alot

Overal a good pram – i bought the strider dlx system in 2010 for my son born in May, I bought the it in the toffee colour and got the bassinett with in toffee also, Overall it is a great pram, but i have had trouble with the fabric, as i planned on this pram lasting more then one child, i searched for what i thought was the best at the time and bought the dlx system.… Read more

seat height, having the matching bassinett and capsule, underseat stoage is a great size The fabric (toffee) has worn quite quickly and i have had it replaced twice as it has frayed where the black fabrick for the feet meets the tooffe fabric and up on the sides of the seat area. Its too wide for some shops

fantastic pram for one child – As a first time mum I bought the DLX strider after much searching and looking up reviews. I bought the pram second hand and it is still in very good condition. Easy to wash and wipe down. The ability to interchange with the capsule and the bassinet enabled you to plan for every occasion. I also used the bassinet with a sound and movement monitor… Read more

when away avoiding the need for travel cots. Ability to change position and angle of the seat. Easy to fold up and put away. Big carry basket underneath. Adjustable handle for different heights. Good shade and wind protectors. I should have bought the strider plus as I'm having a second child.

Great Pram – Excellent pram with all the features and looks you expect from the strider range, nice to push, pleasant to look at, easy to fold, can face mum or the world. Great kingfisher blue colour oh so divine! Easy to steer, can be a complete travel unit, stylish! Seat could be bigger, but now there is the plus with a bigger seat love that!

Excellent – This was my 3rd pram I had brought And my daughter was only 3.5 mths old I wish I had just spent the money and got this from the start I tell everybody to get one They are great I went for this one cause I play outdoor netball so i needed a pram with a decent hood as my daughter and I spend half the day out on the courts The hood was amazing so… Read more

large Was more than I had hoped for People talk about the size of it Yes it is large but what pram isnt these days And the weight may be a little heavy but what do you expect from a good strong sterdy pram I say buy it Its a must Love this pram Its easy to move even with one hand Basket is huge underneath Front n rear facing great The huge hood great Overall great Is quite wide but you learn to adjust

Love it – Overall i think this pram is perfect for one child! I love the massive under basket, its great when shopping etc, and it was fantastic at our local show as everyone put their handbags underneath! I brought my pram second hand as in mount isa we have only one stockist and they were out! Now I'm looking at getting the strider plus as we plan o… Read more

having another baby soon! and i wouldn't be without the strider! The strider is so sturdy, and great on pretty much all terains we have alot dirt and rocks where i live and it was wonderful through them! A little bit of a pain to wash the covers, but other than than i love it!

Excellent – Would recommend this pram to everyone. It is very comfortable for baby, easy to fold down, love the way I can look at baby when using the pram. I believe compared to many other big brand prams it is great value. This pram is excellent value for money and we love it! We purchased the bassinet with the pram, and although my baby only used it for 10… Read more

weeks I would recommend it to everyone as although they say you can use the seat from birth it does not lie completely flat and the bassinet looks more comfortable for newborn (you can use it for alot longer than 10 wks but I found my little one wanted look around and be sociable). Alot of people I see complain about the width of this pram but honestly I don't see it as being an issue. So you have to go through the wider aisle at the shops it's not that much of a hassall.

Excellent – Overall a great pram, looks good, easy to use, and especially useful for shopping. I wouldnt use it for longer walks in the park though, but I have another pram (with pneumatic tyres) for that. I bought this pram when my baby was 10 weeks old, the most important feature I wanted in a pram was that baby can sit facing you (the seat is reversible so… Read more

they can sit the other way when they get older). I like that it's a 4 wheeler, for maximum stability, and the parcel tray is a decent size. It's a nice colour (I got the Kingfisher blue) and very modern looking without that "space age" look. It's steerable and easy to push when out shopping. Came with a very comfy foot muff for winter, a rain cover and a sun cover. Good price compared with the Quinny and Maxi Cosi, which I also considered. The only thing this pram lacks is that is doesnt have pneumatic tyres, it does not drive smoothly over bumpy footpaths and fallen sticks and acorns etc. when walking in the park. But it's not really designed to be a walking/jogging pram. The back wheel axle is also quite wide, which can be a problem in some shops.

Good – I love it, can change seat to see baby or have them looking out, easy fold, steers like a three wheel but not as long. Nice and compact. Would recommend this to anyone. Seat is reversable, easy to steer, easy fold. Adjustable handle height. Very comfy. Lots of extras. A little bit too wide.

Excellent – We love this pram! The best thing about it is the different ways you can adjust it. Buying the car capsule was probably the best thing we did. It was expensive, but when our son was really little it saved my sanity being able to leave him asleep in the car capsule and just carrying him to his room when we got home. He would sleep in the capsule… Read more

for up to an hour and I got a bit of a break. Another bonus is that we now have a capsule ready for baby number two. The seat that comes with the pram is great, although I do line it with a blanket as its designed to be easily cleaned and isn't very breathable. A great buy. We bought this pram after a lot of research. The best investment we made was buying the capsule for the car. It is quite wide, but still fits into most stores. It is also a little on the heavy side.

Excellent – Although we have identified a couple of minor niggles with this system, overall we are very happy. Best things are ability to move bub into and out of the car without waking her, telescopic handle (very useful for short mum and tall dad), the ability for bub to face towards me or away from me and the included things like the muff, rain cover and… Read more

sun shade. We would definately recommend it. We bought the whole system after doing a lot of research before bub was born. The car capsule has been absolutely fantastic and has made life much easier as we are able to put her in and out outside of the car. I also used it as a short term seat for her on the floor in the house when I was having a shower. We used the bassinet as a second bed for bub during the day, and took the bassinet and the base of the pram on an interstate trip, which gave us transport and a place for bub to sleep. Nothing really, except that the rear wheels are very wide, and I have found it difficult to manouver around most shops (shops fault for putting stuff too close together). Also the headrest from the bassinet is not removeable which would have been useful when bub threw up on it the first time we had her in it. We bought the red colour and after a poo explosion we discovered that when the fabric is wet it runs and discoloured her clothes

Excellent – Very, very glad we purchased this pram and the capsule. It has made life so much easier being able to just pick the capsule up and either put it into the car or clip it into the pram and away we go. The capsule is easy to clip into the pram or capsule base. My daughter always falls asleep in the capsule whether it is in the pram or car so I dare… Read more

say in her opinion the seat is very comfortable. Capsule interchanges from pram into car seat without waking baby. Easy to steer one handed, easy to open and close, great colour options, large storage basket under pram. Wide however all good prams seem to be pretty wide.

Good – Overall, I have found the strider great, if it were only a few kgs lighter I wouldn't trade it for anything. The dual system is one of its best features as is the forward and rearward facing options. I may buy the bassinet insert for my next baby when I'm out walking as the main pram doesn't recline completely flat. I love having the infant… Read more

carrier that fits so easily onto the pram body, it means not waking my baby from car to pram. Also, the basket is a great size and the option of rear or forward facing was a must for me. It is easy to clean all the parts as most are removable. It is easy to steer and comes with sunshade, rain cover and foot muff included in the price. It is very heavy and wide, so is awkward to get into the car which killed my back. Also my foot brake is so hard to unlock I have to use my hand, not even my husband can use his foot to unlock it. This may be particular to my pram. Also, make sure it fits in the boot of your car, as I have to unlock one wheel to get it into my peugeot hatch. Luckily the wheel is very easy to remove!

I ended up buying a combi stroller for the car and just use the strider for walking as it is still great for getting around with as its higher and easier to push than the combi.

Excellent – This is a great travel system - from when they are just tiny babies through to toddlers. I couldn't have done without this system and my baby carrier. I love this travel system and have been very happy with it. We purchased the infant carrier and the pram (not the bassinet). The infant carrier is perfect when your baby falls asleep in the car… Read more

(almost always), we never had to wake him, just pull the carrier out and he can stay asleep.

I love the pram because the seat can face both ways. When my son just a baby he liked facing me - knowing I was there. Now he is older he prefers to face out and check everything out. It is a wide pram. I knew this before purchasing it. When my son was under the age of one we also liked using the baby carrier (this always stayed in the boot of the car) so if we were going somewhere where we knew the pram wouldn't fit we would just strap on the baby carrier.

Loved it! Especially with the infant carrier! – I absolutely loved our Strider DLX. We bought the infant carrier as well & I couldn't recommend it highly enough!! I loved the colours it came in too (we got the Kingfisher colour). I couldn't recommend it highly enough. All I was disappointed with, is that the Strider Plus wasn't available at the time I purchased mine, as that would be… Read more

perfect for me now that I have a second child. So if you are thinking of having more than one child I would go with the Strider Plus. The infant carrier was a god send!! A bit bulky & took up a lot of room in the hatch of my Corolla. It could be difficult to fold up at times.

Love it! – Being a mum with a two door car the strider dlx travel system suited me perfectly. The ability to get my baby in and out of the car and not having a bulky car seat so the other passengers in the car were uncomfortable was awesome! My strider pram fitted perfectly in my boot of my coupe even with a big bulky subwoofa in the boot!! The pram is easy… Read more

to fold up and down and I've never ever had an issue. I love the storage basket aswell with it's ability to zip up so no unwanted hands can pinch your purse while your distracted is great! Reliable, solid, sturdy and still moves about as light as a feather. Infant seat needs to be made bigger, 80cms and 10kg would have been nice as my daughter was out of the infant carrier at 5 months

This was a great Pram – I loved this Pram and only recently sold it to purchase another due to it's inability to take a toddler attachment - Saying that we should have asked when purchasing the pram if it was possible. I loved the travel system - being able to click the capsule into the pram base and then back into the car made heading out with our first a breeze! Our… Read more ·  1

son is tall for his age and has been from the start he outgrew his capsule very quickly and was starting to look a little too large for the main seat.

Good – Since there is not option to attach a toddler seat I am going to have to buy a new pram. This time, becuase I do so much walking, I'll buy one with tyres. Overall this is a great pram. It is easy to manovre with one hand, you can remove the brake with your foot and the sun hood is nice and wide. I walk everywhere and it is fairly good. It is great… Read more

being able to have a rear facing seat and at 11 months my son still faces me and we chat as we walk. The tyres are hard so you feel every bump you hit. The sun cover don't attach very securely and it is always getting kicked off. In the end I had to safety pin it on.

Excellent – After months of research and kicking tyres (my wife abandoned me after the first weekend) I/we decided on the Strider DLX. It's attractive; We've got the Kingfisher Blue and it turns heads whenever we're out. Although there is a trend to more vibrant colours now with other brands. It's versatile; you can have baby face forwards or… Read more

backwards. 3 adjustable seat tilt positions, but out newborn can't lay flat. Handles are adjustable to 3 heights (good for my short wife and taller me) and the wheels lock at the front. Can disassemble into 2 lighter parts before putting in the boot, is very easy to fold. Driving is easy and light. It can maneuver excellently through shopping isles and doorways.

It's got huge storage; other 3 wheelers we looked at had very small baskets underneath. The DLX carries 4 full grocery bags. And it's sturdy enough to hang the 'go-bag' for bubs over the handle. We've even put shopping bags hanging on the handle (with clips from our go-bag) and the DLX remains stable.

It's value for $$$; we bought ours on special for $516 (rrp $599) in December '08. We were looking at the Baby Jogger City Elite which was $850 for just the pram, and not as sturdy. The DLX comes with everything! The foot muff, bug AND rain canopies. There is a magnetic peep hole - no velcro noise when opening and the zip out UV section of the hood isn't seen anywhere else - very handy also for ventilation.

Overall the Strider DLX ticks all the boxes for sturdiness, maneuverability, easy of use, style and price. I'd buy it again and again if I had to! Stylish, eye catching, easy to maneuver, sturdy, can face bubs forward or backward, lots of extras included New born doesn't lay down flat. Hips are always at 90 degrees - does that matter? UV mesh in hood can get caught when zipping back up - I've now got a small run in the mesh. A bit of care is all that's needed to avoid this.

Excellent – We are really happy with this purchase, it's such a sturdy pram and will last for years. I walk everywhere and the wheel tread is barely worn after four months. I wanted a bugaboo but couldn't justify the cost. there are so many more features with this pram without costing extra. Huge basket and can fit quite a lot of my grocery shopping! … Read more

Bassinet was great for sleeping too. Quite a stylish pram fantastic pram. We didn't purchase the capsule, although it would have been very convenient not to wake the baby, who often falls asleep in the car! the bassinet is great to use for a sleeping baby, particularly when travelling and as the pram doesn't recline completely flat. Comes with everything you need (UV protector, foot muff etc) and is geat value for money he wheel base is quite wide, but we manage to fit it through the doorway and corridor of our narrow terrace. Use the wheelchair aisle in supermarket. Is one of the heavier prams, but can easily be lifted into the boot of a car. Bit difficult to get stuff out of the basket when the bassinet is fitted, but fine with the stroller

Bad – Overall I regret the purchase of this pram as it was really only useful for a few months while we used the capsule and basinet. Since bub graduated to the seat I have not been happy with it at all. To the point where I have just bought a new pram with the intention of selling the strider. I do feel it would be better in southern climates where… Read more

the temp isn't 30 degrees plus every day and 90% humidity wasn't common. Last thing I will say is that it is a big pram, we didn't mind this as we have the space and wanted stability and suitability for long walks. We've been using the strider dlx 4wheeler for 5 months now and have found the capsule and basinette fabulous. Not having to wake the baby when he falls asleep in the car is excellent. The basinette has been great bub can sleep comfortably when out and about for long periods of time or even on hols to visit the gradparents. Great that it comes with all the accessories and sun canopies are all generous. the seat for older babies is very easy is very easy to adjudt from upright to recline. Great that it can face mum or the world. Basket is really generous and can be loaded up with shopping (very useful when you can't grab a trolley) Lastly its sturdy, easy to fold and steer. Unfortunately there are a few issues we have had with it they are as follows. The hood on the basinet is very difficult to move, I use both hands to depress buttons and then my elbow/arm to move the position. The mattress provided is really thin I had to get a new one cut from better quality foam. Bubs head wasn't getting enough cushioning. The only negative thing I have found with the capsule is that all the fabrics are synthetic so in hot weather (we live in the tropics) bub was always sweating. Overlall I liked the basinett and the capsule the part I have had the most issues with is the seat, supposedly okay for new bubs, I have to say this is just not the case. My baby couldn't use it till he was about 3 months (when he got considerable head control) Its just to upright for a little baby with not enough support even with the head hugger in use. my baby was big at birth(nearly 10pounds), I hate to think what would happen for a small or average sized baby. The fabrics, like the capsule, are synthetic so again I have had the problem with sweating. The sunscreen is good but would be better if it wasn't black, as I am sure it gets hotter for bub as a result. Also the hood provides great coverage but is rather stiff to adjust, makes a loud noise which tends to wake a sleeping baby. The seat belt is also difficult to fasten , watch thoes little fingers and legs! Other brands have much safer, smarter and easier fasteners. The bumber bar on the seat is also very high up the baby's chest gets it their line of sight. The amount of positions for the seat is only three, many prams offer 5. While all of this in annoying I would have to say the thing I find most annoying is the fact that the seat tilts but does not lie flat. I didn't think this would matter when we purchased it but find that my bub does not sleep as well and little things like being able to lay bub flat to change the nappy when out and about really do make an impact. Sometimes there is nowhere else but the pram or your lap! Lastly would be good to have toddler sear or buggy board options for an expanding family.

Excellent – My baby loves the strider and smiles when she goes in it. We bought the bassinenet as well and it worked very well when baby was young. The bassinent makes a good portable a cot now. The strider moves easily and looks great. A terrific pram!!! very easy to move very comfortable, especialy with the insert baby enjoys going in it and has a great… Read more
