Apease

Best baby accessory we have bought – We love this dryer and I am so glad we bought this electrolux. We have had it now for almost a year and it hasn't skipped a beat. It gets used almost every day due to sometimes me…

not finishing the washing during the day depending on how the kids are going in the afternoons. Love it! Inexpensive outlay compared with miele and other premium brands. Love the sensor, as it means no more going to the machine when you finally get time only to find clothes are still damp in the middle. Love the different settings and the delicates mode because I put in my husbands t shirts and baby clothes that have prints on them. Crease free function is great to put sheets on when just a little damp from the line. Not too noisy so as to not wake baby sleeping. Attractive compared to most of the other brands that look like boxes. Buttons easy to use as I have bad wrists. Dials not great for me! Lint filter extremely easy to clean and love the light that comes on to show when it needs cleaning. Buzzer can be anno

Bad – I HATE this pram and wish I had not let the manager at Pram Warehouse talk me out of the Strider Plus. She was VERY insistent that the P&T Explorer was the be all and end all. I…

am just so upset I got this pram. It is difficult to fold, unfold, it wobbles, wheels don't work, like almost everything else about this pram. It is annoying how much they charge for this. I thought for the price it must be good. The Strider is much less $ once you add in some of the accessories that come with it which are vital (and here is where P&T make a killing from you!). I am going to continue to seek a refund from Phil and Teds or Pram Warehouse because it is total rubbish and they shouldn't sell it. Mumof378 could you please post again to let me know how you got on. I want my old strider back. I am having to use an old $30 stroller anyway at the moment and drag my toddler around on foot which means I can't go to the shops for any length of time, I can't walk to the park, I can't walk our kids around when we go on holidays - At least with the Strider I wouldn't have spent another $700 for the privilege! I don't have anything nice to say about this pram really. I have to reiterate that this seems like a good idea. The main seat looks comfy and my toddler likes it. The foot rest being made of plastic is a good idea. It is slightly narrower than some other prams so is easier at the checkout however there is a massive trade off with stability (see cons). I am struggling to find Pros. Where do I start. I totally hate this pram and am seeking a refund from Pram Warehouse or Phil and Teds. It is rubbish. I had a Strider 3 before buying this and wanted the Strider Plus because I loved it. This pram is the total opposite in that I really struggle to find good points. Mumof378 - your review was absolutely spot on. I feel your pain. I am so upset about this purchase. I have been pretty much completely immobile now with 2 kids since the day I bought it because it is always broken or awaiting parts. Isn't the point of buying a pram to be mobile????

Upon assembly, the front and back wheels were already buckled and the tyres popping off the rims. Impossible to inflate when they are like that. Pram Warehouse gave me some mumbo jumbo about over-inflation which is garbage because we followed the recommended Psi. Then they said that it must have been the heat in the shipping containers that popped the tubes because the air inside expanded??!! I have had the tyres replaced twice already and am awaiting a delivery today of "New" design tyres that apparently can withstand fire. We'll see! I want to get off this bad rollercoaster called Phil and Ted's please!

Now apart from the basic function of working wheels, where else do I start:

- I agree that the one hand lift and fold thing is a gimmick. It doesn't work. Unless you are a very tall and very strong woman, it is VERY difficult to fold up. You end up laying it down and then folding and scuffing the handle on the road and putting the seat part on the road (yuck and unhygienic for baby), scuffing all the front wheel and so on. Absolutely terrible idea and half the time I have to shake it a lot to make it work and push the button several times.

- Sun canopy falls off and actually doesn't fit the pram. It is too small to provide any sun coverage in any event. The gimmick that it moves around is just that...

-Pram is terribly unstable. I am so afraid of it tipping if I go up a gutter. The frame just feels flimsy when you do it and when you push the pram there is a lot of "give" and "movement". It is just not stable at all and my husband is afraid it is going to collapse half the time.

-Straps from the reclining main seat hang in the baby's face when she is sitting in the back seat position. She chews on them (choking hazard) so now I have had to wrap them up as best I can. It is also very hard to use when the child is actually IN the pram and I am worried that I'll drop her all the way to full recline if I don't use two hands and apply a lot of force to hold her up.

- Handle has too much flex it it and again makes the pram feel really unstable. You push down on it to walk up a hill and it feels like the pram is about to fall apart.

-Wheel guards rub on the wheels to render movement impossible. I have resorted to taking them off. Judging by the poor quality of everything else, even if I requested new ones I doubt they would be any different.

-adjustable straps that fold up into the velcro covers are horrible as the kids just rip off the velcro covers and then a very long strap is dangling down and my baby chews on this (choking hazard). Why is the strap THAT long anyway? I don't know any kid who sits in a pram that is that tall?

-Because it is a small in-line it is very difficult to get a 6mth old baby in and out of the back seat. There is no room really for maneuvering her and so she cries every time.

I am sure I have forgotten something but you get the drift..
