Steelcraft Strider Compact Deluxe Edition

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.

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

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!

Love our Strider Deluxe – I love the Strider Compact Delux! I reviewed and researched a large number of prams before purchasing because of the cost I wanted to make sure I got it right the first time. Although it is a little bulky which can make it hard to fit through doorways and small spaces, it is so smoot to push around and can easily be manouvered around corners… Read more ·  1

with one hand.

I picked the strider over other prams because

- it looks like a $1800 but on special I picked it up for $599 bargin!

- I liked that the pram is rear and frontward facing (you have to take the seat out to turn it around).

- the handle height adjusting was perfect as I am average height but my partner is 6ft 3 so I needed something comfortable for both of us

- it has an easy to operate foot break

- easy to put up and down

- the under compartment is huge and has privacy zips, there are also extra compartments you can attach to the pram with is great.

- has the ability for a dual seat if we were to get pregnant again.

Only down sides I found was

- the newborn seat doesn’t recline enough for baby to have a sleep (which a lot of the prams don’t) so we had to buy the basinet component which is quite pricey considering you only use it for about 5 months, and doesn’t fold up easily to be stored in the car.

- the base is a little on the heavy side

- Im not a fan of how the hood and handle bar adjustment have two buttons that have to be operated by both hands, at the same time. It makes it kind of awkward to use and I’ve had other family and friends say how annoying it is to use.

- The basinet release from the base of the pram also gets stuck on one side so I have to push it back in on the other side and try again. It can take me a while to get it apart.

Overall it’s a great stylish pram, couple small adjustments and it would be the best pram on the market, I really like it.

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

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!

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

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

Don't waist your money it was a bad choice to buy this pram – hardly used the pram once i did it start making loud noise had to send for repair for 2 weeks i stayed without a pram they gave me a new one then after few weeks i had the same issue again i couldn't put my baby to sleep the noise was so loud and annoying i send it 3 times for repair and still have the same issue. 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

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

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.

Great but heavy and bulky – I love this pram. But what I’ve realised is it won’t be great when I am pregnant with my second, i find it abit weighty and not only that the wheels are very large so wouldn’t recommend if you can’t havs a large booted car. Show details ·  1

This pram is all you need! – This was the only pram i needed for my son who is now 5! It was easy to use and pull apart to fit in the car, it went all sorts of terrain - it was great for bushwalks, he was always comfortable and one of the biggest things was when he was a newborn the Capsule went straight from the car to the pram without waking him up!! that in itself was worth every dollar!!! Show details ·  1

Like it – This pram is pretty good. The only issue I have with it is the size of it once folded. It’s quite big and I find it heavy to put into the back of my car Show details

Love my pram! – I purchased the compact strider with the capsule and bassinet attachments and it is so easy and convenient to use. I love that I don’t have to wake my baby up to put her in the bassinet or seat, I can just take the capsule out the car and clip it in. Very sturdy and looks lovely! I don’t agree with other reviews that it’s noisy or scratched up.… Read more ·  1

Very light weight. I get mine in and out of the car multiple times a day and I have no issues whatsoever. And I love that you can purchase the second seat and attach at the bottom. I haven’t personally used it but from the pictures it looks like the child sits in the basket, which I’m not so sure about but could be wrong. I will have to look into that in a few months time when we fall pregnant.

Unhappy with black frame – Unfortunately the black frame has scratched quite a bit. We have taken care of our product but unfortunately the black coating is very thin and has scratched off. Will have to colour with a texta Show details

love it – i bought it second hand for grandson after looking at lots of others.this one fitted into small car. its sturdy and folds easily, plenty of room and well built. i much prefer it to the fancy expensive one my daughter has ! Show details ·  1

Terrible... so clunky and squeaky! – I am annoyed at myself for not looking into reviews and really researching prams before committing to this one. It's so clunky, doesn't manouver well and has the most annoying squeak when you turn it. I recent purchased a stroller for a holiday and I haven't used my pram since because of how difficult it is to use. So disappointed. Show details

Love it – I used steelcraft for my 8 years old . And now I am using it for me 1 year old. Very strong and very impressive design. Very easy to fold and fit in car boot. Show details ·  1
