Skippy Strada
Verified103 reviews
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
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.
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

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
Love this pram! The 360 swivel is my favourite feature as I can put my capsule in facing me Show details
I am the owner of the skippy lasso (which I love) and now my little man is 6 months old and can sit up, I was looking for something a bit more compact to travel with so I looked no further than the skippy strada travel pram. To say I am impressed in an understatement!! It’s light, easy to fold up and down and easy to push. I also love that I can… Read more · 1
easily rotate the seat to my preferred view. For its size, the basket is great and holds a decent amount. The buckle is easy to do up and undo and the seat is very easy to recline using the thread mechanism. If you’re not sure, take this as your sign to buy the travel pram - you won’t be disappointed!
Such an easy pram to use ! The chair spins around no problems ! It has the safety features I want with the existing strap and easy on off brakes just beautiful Show details · 1

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.
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.

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

An excellent travel pram overall. I love the 360 seat turn which is impossible to find in a travel pram! Easy to fold/unfold and my 1 year old seems comfy. Only negatives are the clip to unfold is hard to see and reach, and also the seat recline mechanism is hard to put back into upright position with baby in the pram. Other than that I really like it!

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.
Hi Melissa, Sorry to hear this is not the right… Read more
Would not recommend – Originally ordered the olive green but was sent the black without advice or explanation. The pram is looking flimsy for its price, but sturdy nonetheless. Very easy to maneuver. Bought it for the rear facing feature but the handle is too long which defies the use of having the baby at arms reach. Also too big for a travel pram. Would return it if given a chance however we already used it outside.

Fast delivery. We haven't used it travelling yet, absolutely love how easy it is to fold up and unfold. Its so good! The only thing that our other brand pram has that is better is the wheels being more durable. Show details
The perfect pram. Easy fold and small size once folded. The reverse feature makes it a winner. I’ve had many large and compact prams and this one is my favourite. Show details
The Skippy Strada was an excellent pram. We used it for our first plane trip to South Australia. Although we didn’t take the pram in the cabin, we did gate check it with ease. The pram took up little room in the rental car so we had enough room for all our bags. The pram went with us to the zoo and my 4 month old enjoyed being able to see and also nap in comfort. Would highly recommend. Show details

Purchased the Strada Travel Stroller with the Accessories for our upcoming holiday with our 1.5yr old & newborn baby and are very satisfied! Fast delivery, pram feels sturdy, is easy to unfold & fold up in two simple steps, compact travel bag for overhead storage on flight, easy seat rotation to forward/rear facing (a must have for our newborn and… Read more · 1
toddler to share the pram) and looks stylish too! Can’t wait to take this with us and use it for short trips at home too
So far I’m happy with this travel stroller and the convertible seat. However, the under storage a bit small, other than that it’s good stroller and good price compared to other travel stroller in the market. Show details · 1
Just received our Skippa Strada Pram and love it so far! The biggest positive to this pram is it one of the only travel prams I could find that parent faces which was a must as I wanted to use it with my little 3 month old. Our baby was very happy and comfortable. Bonus that it can be rotated without removing the seat too. The basket size for a… Read more
compact stroller is absolutely amazing. Better than the basket we had on our larger bugaboo pram that we’ve now replaced with this Strada! The UV cover is such a great extra in this Australian weather as usually I have to use muslin wraps to cover her from the sun and I know she is well protected while also being able to see us still. So happy that we now have some boot space back!
Perfect Pram – Comfortable & Baby-Approved! This pram is comfortable, smooth, and well-padded, making every ride enjoyable for my baby. The adjustable recline and great suspension ensure a cozy nap, while the lightweight, easy-fold design adds convenience. My baby loves it—highly recommended! Show details · 1
Great travel pram as well as a day to day pram. Happy with the quality, specially 360 rotation which rare feature in a travel pram. Pram weight little more compared to other travel prams on the market. amazing features. Happy Skippy mum Show details · 1
This is a masterpiece of all travel prams. Did a vast research and ended up with Skippy. Pram is bit bulky compared to our shortlisted Redsbaby Skip. Decided to settle with Skippy because of features which other travel prams do not have. Cons- It is more promising if you can have free travel bag with the purchase as many airlines won’t accept in overhead without a bag Show details · 1
Great travel pram – Strada has been fantastic all this time. We have travelled with few airlines and didn’t have any issues so far. We were bit hesitant of air cabin compatibility when purchased, as stroller looks bigger compared to other travel prams. Love Parent facing mode as many travel pram doesn’t have this mode. You won’t regret! Show details · 1
The best travel pram I have found – I love my new Skippy Strada pram. I foster newborns so need something that will last. It had to fit in my small car boot, fully recline, good sun shade ect. It does all that. I love the swivel seat to have them facing me, sunshade comes all the way down, very roomy for a travel pram so I can see bigger toddlers easily fitting. Looks great, easy to fold and unfold, great ventilation and adjustable foot rest. So happy with it and highly recommend. Show details
