I’m really happy with my purchase of the Skippy Strada 2! It’s a fantastic pram for the price, offering great quality, a stylish design and practical features without breaking the bank. It feels sturdy and well-made, yet is easy to manoeuvre and convenient for everyday use. Definitely great value for money! Overall, I’m very impressed with the… Read more · 1
Skippy Strada 2 and would highly recommend it to any parents looking for a reliable, comfortable and affordable pram. It offers everything you need at a very reasonable price. A great purchase and definitely worth the money!
Purchased the Skippy Strada 2 for a big Euro trip. I have a 2yr old and a 3year old. We also added the Hoppie onto it which worked amazingly well!!! Cannot fault this pram, it was absolutely perfect for travelling. Both boys sat in it comfortably, it folds down perfectly in smaller restaurants. Both boys slept in it on many occasions. It was the… Read more · 1
best in Disneyland the boys could hop in and out of it easily. Many food spilt and crumbs galore and the pram always cleans up perfectly and looks like new again. We took this pram to Pompeii and we pushed it over the cobblestones and uneven ground all day, it got a true workout!! Highly recommend this pram.
The order came so quickly! I am impressed with the quality so far and it feels well made. It was easy to assemble and to unfold. I love the brown colour, I personally hate black prams. The colour was prefect brown. I got the newborn insert because I will be traveling in a few months and she might need the head support still. So happy to get a free travel bag with it, one less thing I have to get. I can't wait to take it overseas. Show details

Pros: Compact, quality is good compared to price, folding and unfolding is easy. Cons: Could bit wider, belly bar removal and installation can be improved. Show details
Best pram ever! Definitely worth the purchase! The accessories also are amazing!
The pram is ideal for a young baby with its parent facing option and so easy to change to world facing when needed. Easy to use and sturdily made. Show details
Pram is good communication and ordering with the company had been good although not as small as I would have liked and the pram is annoying to fold down I'm also a little worried about how it's going to hold up once my daughter gets bigger Show details

Happy Mum & Happy Bub – I'd been doing some research on small, compact prams for everyday use, and the Skippy Strada landed itself at the top of the list due to the compact folded size and the weight capacity (which will allow me to use it for several years). It was also… Read more · 1
great that Skippy also had a video on YouTube that we could watch. We've used it a couple of times since it arrived, and it's worked great. The fact that it goes almost flat means we can get in some tummy playtime in the pram, and the rear facing is perfect for my 4 month old who still wants to see mum/dad as we walk around. The pram is very easy to figure out and is pretty dang solid, too. It's handled gravel patches on roads, as well as jogging/running on concrete pathways.
Follow-up · Two years on, and I still find this a great pram to use, as does my son. The cross/lap bar is a good size for him to hold onto as we walk around, and because it's not very big (with high sides, kinda thing), it gives him a a good view range to see lots of things. The folding process is pretty quick, even turning it from rear facing back to… Read more

I love this pram, we bought it to keep in the car and use for travel and for when we go places that are a bit more cramped and would be a squeeze with our much larger I Candy Peach. The main selling points for the Strada is that it has so many features for such a compact travel pram. The biggest ones being that it can be used parent facing, I… Read more
don't like the idea of my baby facing out towards strangers especially when we are using for busy areas with lots of people that require moveability, it also has the option to have it lie completely flat so our daughter can have a nap which she quite often does while we are out and about, it folds easily and is not too heavy fitting behind the drivers seat in the passenger footwell and the basket is still a decent size underneath for a bag or two.
It has a bumper bar to attach toys, or our daughter likes putting her feet on it. The canopy is very big so it keeps the sun off her.
The only things I didn't like is that the fabric and stitching does not feel or look of a premium quality, however for the price and all the features you get this is totally worth it, we even picked ours up as an ex demo model for $250 and you would never think it was a demo model.
Pros: - Only stroller in the Australian market that can forward and rearward face. This itself deserves a lot of credit as it is very useful for parents who need a rearward facing pram that fits in a smaller car / smaller unit / smaller budget. - The quality is pretty decent. - Handling wise, the stroller feels pretty stable - but there is one… Read more · 1
negative point, see below, regarding its manoeuvrability.
- Underchair basket is pretty big and easy to access.
- The back of the chair can be unzipped to allow for a cross breeze/air flow.
Cons: - Despite the stable handling, the stroller is not very nimble (e.g. not easy to turn), which might be caused by the small rear wheels that are the same sized as the front wheels.
- At the time of purchase, the website said it came with a strap, which it did not. This is potentially misleading conduct under the Australian Consumer Law. However, when Skippy were contacted, they acknowledged their error and offered to remedy this by sending a travel bag at their cost. They should be commended for this.
- The manual says that the maximum weight for the basket stoarge is 6kg; whereas the website at the time of purchase says 8kg. Again, this is potentially misleading conduct under the ACL. They need to put in some work on getting their facts straight...
Indifferent points: - The stroller weight is advertised as 8.8kg, this is on the heavier side for travel sized prams. That said, the heavier weight might be attributable to the forward\nearward facing chair, so you can't really complain.
- I would have liked it if the back of the chair had a small pocket for bits and pieces.
- The stroller has an automatic fold function, which is great, but you still need to fold the seat first before you can collapse the stroller.

Great compact/travel pram – I’m really pleased with this pram so far! I have been using it as the pram that lives in the boot of the car for shopping trips as I love that it can parent-face and is compact. I can fold it up and carry it one-handed with baby in the other arm when met with things like stairs. It’s got well-thought out design features like little rollers… Read more · 1
attached at the hinges so that it slides easily into the boot of the car and the basket has a nifty magnetised flap for when you’re using the pram in parent-facing mode. The pram performs well enough on different terrains (just got bogged on sand). It’s a bumpier ride on uneven paths than a pram with big tyres but that’s to be expected. One other reviewer commented that the seat liner that comes with it is not very nice. When you unbox the pram the white side of the liner is facing up. I turned it around and found the other side of the liner to be nicer (black with contrast white stitching). My baby seems comfortable enough in the pram although she hasn’t spent longer than an hour or two in it. Sometimes her head looks like it is being pushed forward a bit which is on account of the way the seat back folds. This issue is somewhat improved by firmly pushing the top of the seat back upon unfolding the pram.

We absolutely love Skippy, this is the best travel pram. I reckon that is on the market so easy to fold down one-handed and being able to lift it in the car one-handed is the best. So lightweight easy to push and little Bubs absolutely loves falling asleep in it. Show details
We so impressed with our Skippy Strada 2! We needed something lightweight and practical for our upcoming trip with our twins, and they have been perfect! We love that they lie completely flat, how lightweight they are, and how easy they are to flick open and pack back down. They’re going to make travelling with twins so much easier! We also love supporting local small businesses, so it’s a win all around. Highly recommend! Show details
I purchased this one as a travel stroller as it is advertised as light weight and able to go into the overhead cabin but now it’s become our regular stroller as well! I love the little details like the peekaboo window having a magnet to keep in place when closed, the padded seat area so your bubba is nice and comfortable and the harness that is… Read more · 1
very safe and not restrictive as my daughter HATES anything remotely restrictive (such as the high chair lol). I do kind of wish I got the other colour as black is kind of boring but I enjoy the lovely indigenous patterns on the air mesh cover. I can’t wait to use this for all our overseas travel and make some great memories with it!
Negative reviews
The three stars are for the product itself, it’s a great stroller and I loved that unlike most strollers/travel prams you can choose whether to face your baby towards you or outwards which was a lifesaver at busy spots where we travelled. I also liked the lay flat option which again most strollers don’t have. However, even though it’s more… Read more
compact than a standard pram we were not allowed to take it on the flight with either Qantas or Virgin despite being in business class and having only that and a backpack to take onboard. In Sydney they allowed us to leave it at the gate (was then checked in - so we had to carry our baby to luggage claim), but in Brisbane we were forced to take it to ‘oversized’ and had to carry our child to the gate. So if you’re looking for a compact travel pram this is not it unfortunately. It’s such a shame as the product is good, but domestically we found that it could not be taken onboard as it’s too wide. Unsure if this would be an issue on international flights, but it was for domestic.
Nice pram – The strada is a nice looking pram. A little Gardner to work out than other travel prams but still pretty simple. Love that it can rotate without having to take the seat off completely! My only issue (this has nothing to do with the pram itself), is the delivery. The courier delivered the pram over a week after the estimated delivery date, which… Read more
left me pramless. Another minor inconvenience is that the liner is white which seems a bit silly for messy babies, however I just flipped it over and used the other side which is black.
Thank you for sharing your honest experience. We are… Read more
Larger than other travel prams – I wouldn’t describe this as a compact travel pram and would be extremely shocked if it was allowed in overhead luggage lockers. We’ve use other compact brands in the past and they’ve been half the size and very light weight - this isn’t that. We have limited car space and wanted a small pram (other compacts have fit behind passengers seat) the… Read more
Strada still takes up a lot of room which is disappointing. It’s closer in size to a regular pram than other compact models. It’ll be great for newborn phase and parent facing though. The swivel seat is cool but not recommended with baby in so really doesn’t benefit me. Pram does the job overall but the size is unfortunate and feel like I’ve wasted money for the short time baby faces me.

Excellent manoeuvrability, very lightweight, very easy to fold up and only slightly harder to unfold (still easy!) This is a perfect travel pram, and after testing it today, I am sure it will prove useful on our upcoming domestic flight. Show details · 1
We've bought the Strada to use as our secondary pram to the Lusso when I've only got one kid with me. The straps and harness of the Strada are quick to adjust so it's easy to change between kids - no feeding straps through the seat, the strap height slides up and down from front of seat. Light and easy to manoeuvre, feels quite zippy though we… Read more · 1
haven't gone off road yet. My toddler likes the canopy and will pull it down herself and say it's "dark". It folds up really small which would be good for travel, but also good for storing at home filling with baby and toddler things. Also love the new colour of the Strada, nice to have something other than black.

Purchased as a travel pram and to fit into a smaller car as my larger pram was taking up the whole boot space. Very impressed with the size and ease of fold. I am using the newborn insert with the pram and it it's comfortable for my four month old. Very impressed overall with the stroller particularly given the price. Show details · 1
Absolutely love our Slippy Steady 2! The delivery was super fast and it was so easy to assemble. My daughter seems really comfortable and happy sitting in it, and it’s so simple to strap her in. It’s also really easy to put up and fold back down, which is exactly what I was looking for. I can already tell it’s going to make travelling so much easier and will be amazing for our upcoming trip. Highly recommend! Show details · 1
Love it! So lightweight and very compact when folded, yet very sturdy and stylish. We purchased it for our upcoming overseas holiday and can’t wait to use it. This is the second time we’ve purchased from Skippy. We were already obsessed with the Mate and how easy it was to use for our day-to-day strolls. Highly recommend exploring their range. One very happy customer! ❤️ Show reply
Already knew I’d love this pram as I previously brought the Lusso with my first child. It has exceeded my expectations, I love everything about it. You won’t regret this purchase. It moves so freely, very easy to open and close. I love how compact it is, so easy to take along anywhere. Show details · 1
The Strada is perfect! Lightweight and so easy to fold I wish I had it when my other children were little. I was sold on the reverse facing seat because no other brands had this feature in this price point. Show details · 1
Black Friday WIN! What a fantastic pram! We have limited boot space this is perfect! And for such a compact pram it is so easy to fold. The swivel chair is such a great feature... I WISH I had this with my other two boys but I guess 3rd times a charm.. Bring on all the summer outings.
Definitely 5 stars. Absolutely amazing pram. I am so in love. My kids Absolutely love how comfortable it is. I love how you can have the seat facing out or towards you. The uv cover, rain cover and carry bag is next level. So light weight and compact. I highly recommend skippy and its prams. I also have the lusso gen2. I have recommended these prams to my family and friends and anyone I meet Show details
