Steelcraft Agile Plus / Agile Plus Reverse Handle
Verified145 reviews
Biggest waste of money – I've been using this pram for 9 months now and I can honestly say I hate it. The "reverse handle" is ridiculous. You can't steer the pram properly if you want your baby facing you because the wheels don't have the range of movement required to be able to steer properly. I ALWAYS have trouble collapsing it, it takes 2 or 3 goes before it will fully… Read more
collapse and in summer this is the last thing I want to contend with. And the basket underneath is small, impractical and hard to put anything in it. Worst pram. I'm so upset I ever bought it and can't afford a new one.
Love it – I love this pram it has everything you need And the reverse handle makes it easy to see your baby. It comes with a rain cover and snack tray which is super handy. Show details · 1

My dream pram - nearly – I had a Steelcraft Agile for my first child after lots of recommendations about how its easy to put away, folds small and light. Only thing was that the handle wasn't reversible. I got the one with the reversible handle second time around. While I LOVED the Steelcraft Agile, i'm not a fan of the Steelcraft Agile Plus Reverse Handle. Its a bit more… Read more · 1
bulky and heavier than the agile. I also find the handle a bit flimsy, it still moves a bit after being locked in place. I did look at other reverse handle prams however and this one would still be my top pick. The others were hard to adjust and hard to fold up - even the staff at toys'r'us couldn't figure it out. Only other improvement it would need is a bigger basket underneath but with the style I don't think it is possible and ability to have the back sit up more upright and be able to go all the way down flat. Came with LOTS of accessories which was AWESOME! I do find its a bit hard to manouver when in reverse mode.
Prams should have a 'try before you buy' option! – I wish I'd either done more research, or had an try before buy option. Both my son (5months) and myself are unhappy with it. It was awesome to start with, with the convenience of taking the capsule out of the car and into the pram, but once he got too heavy and we upgraded his car seat he is very unhappy when out and about. I'm constantly trying… Read more
to prop him up cause he falls to one side as the back rest is just a board and if leant on the wrong way it tips. The few times I can get him to stay in there long enough to go to sleep I end up waking him any way because it's not possible to lower the seat smoothly. I walk often, and find the handle is too close to the back wheel at any setting so I tend to kick the back wheels. To avoid this I try using just one hand and kind of walking beside the pram, but there's no way to control it comfortably with one hand. The basket is on the small side, not bad, but not great. Though access to it is crap!! I am so sick of refitting the shoulder pads!!!! They come off every time I get Bub out. I've got no idea how I haven't lost them yet. But I need them on there cause other wise the straps cut into his neck. And lastly, as someone with a bad back, I thought this was a light enough option to get in and out of the car, and it is one of the lighter options, but I struggle 3 out of 4 times getting it in and out of my car.
Best Pram I have ever owned – Firstly, The folding of the pram! As someone who struggles to figure out how to collapse prams, and what to push / pull / bend ect this pram was a life saver! Push a red button, pull the thing that says PULL and BAM! folds effortlessly and it even has a carry handle on the side to make it even easier. It is super light, weigh's less then my baby… Read more
in his capsule and so easy to carry, move and such.
Unfolding is just as easy! Push the latch... Pull it up! done. It all clicks in, everything is ready to go, no awkward moving on seats and pulling bits apart its just effortless.
Pushing the pram is a dream, Maneuvers well, smooth to push and doesn't get caught up on its own wheels like some other prams do.
Only down side - small basket under pram, But i don't normally use them much anyway, but i know some parents really like a larger basket. Honestly for how amazing this pram is to use, id happily give up a larger storage space underneath i honestly think its worth it.
I even went and pushed around and played with the more popular prams that are a bit more pricey, and I honestly much prefer this one.
The Kingfisher colour is lovely aswell.
So happy i purchased this!

Awesome Pram – Easy to fold, drives well on all surfaces and not much effort to push. can be on the heavy side and when the handle is facing the opposite way can be hard to steer. the reversible handle is a great feature though. the fact that you only have to do 2 steps to fold the whole thing up is great.

Good pram – Overall good pram i love the reverse handle and my toddler loves the drink tray. It folds down easy and is easy to put in and out of the car. The adjustable handle me being tall is perfect for my height. My only announce is that the storage under the pram could be a bit bigger or shaped better Show reply
Best pram! – Easy to fold up, not to big. Easy to push. Nice and stylish. Definitely wouldn’t get any other pram! My bub seems to be nice and comfortable in it. With the bit that goes over the lags on the pram stays nice and warm for the windy days. Definitely 5 star rating! Show reply
Negative reviews
Willing to get rid of it and buying something else ASAP – I read all the reviews and decided to get this for my first born. Not only is this model quite bulky to handle the basket is also very small and not accessible easily when the baby is in reclined position. The feature of reverse handle , for which mainly I opted for this is also not as good. The stroller gets hard to handle when in reverse mode… Read more
and most of the times I’m making a fool out of myself trying to hop in and out of lifts or trying to turn somewhere. Absolutely disappointed. I can’t even afford to get another pram however much inconvenient this may seem though.
Hi Fatima I, thank you for your review and feedback.… Read more
Apples for apples – This pram oozes practically whilst also being lightweight making it a great choice for travelling. The stand out feature is one simple latch to open this pram and one button to collapse it. Overall design wise it has storage options however these are not generous for an avid shopper who requires ample room for baby needs, groceries and other purchases.
Hi Melmania, thanks for taking the time to leave a… Read more
Ok pram, but I wish I bought another model – The pram is easy to fold and not too heavy. It's easy to manoeuvre while pram is forward facing. However once the pram handle is reversed so your child can face you, the becomes difficult. One the handle is reversed the big wheels are at the front and it's quite hard to manoeuvre. I also don't like straps used to recline the seat. A clip would have been better. The pram dies have quite a large hood to block out the sun and it's a smooth ride

Great – Super easy to unfold with the press of a button and quite light too. Easy to use and steer. Best part being the travel adapter clip your steelcaft capsule straight into it. A little difficult to sit up and recline but nothing major. Used for 7 months now and haven't had a problem. Show reply
Good pram but bulky – This pram does feel like you are maneuvering a truck at times but it os easy once you know how. Its not easy to carry or fold away and seems to take up alot of space in the boot. However I do like this pram and I think once others get used to its bulkyness they will too. I am happy with the build and the quality is A1 Show reply
This is perfect pram for any age – It is very comfortable and easy and suits for all ages.We can down it completely and we can also keep it straight.It is also easy to carry and easy to fold.Great Quality.I am so happy with this product by steelcraft.It also comes with most accessories for pram.GREAT HELPFUL.MOSTLY RECOMMENDED.LOVE STEELCRAFT.
Best pram ever – Love it! Super easy to pack up or pull.out. no pulling the seat off to put down. Bassinet clips on no worries. Sits upright or lays down. Seriously the best pram without the bulkiness! I love it. Might not have got the green again as it shows the slobber stains
Pretty good – We had this pram for 2 years and was pretty good throughout. Only trouble was the brake wouldn’t fully disengage sometimes. Steering was easy, folded up well to fit in the boot. The quality was there but probably not worth the $700 we spent. Pretty decent pram but wait till it’s on sale Show reply
Pretty decent – Decent price, easy to collapse and store, not too heavy, but sturdy, ok to maneuver. You're supposed to get it with the baby capsule/carseat, I kinda regret not getting it now because it's good to be able to keep an eye on the little one when travelling. Make sure you also get the pram liner for vomits, difficult to clean when vomit soaks through. Not very much storage room under the pram
No need to wake up sleeping baby – It’s great to manoeuvre, easy to fold and lighter as well as narrower than some other brands. I could got through doors some of my friends couldn't. But the best part is the capsule. No need to wake up a sleeping baby. Just transfer from car to pram or into the house. Love it! Still great for my second bubs
Great pram all round – Light pram, narrower than some so I often find I can fit through doorways that other peaks can’t. Folds easily. Manoeuvres well on various terrain. Allows you to clip the capsule/carrier on top so you don’t have to wake bub to get them in/out of the car. Good quality. Cover washes well. Decent storage under pram. Fully adjustable seat recline.

Love the quality and design – I purchased this for my baby after my friend told me that she is happy with her Steelcraft pram. I loved the design and the reverse handle feature to keep a constant watch on my baby during long walks. I think that this pram is reliable, good design, the baby sleeps int eh pram and is comfortable overall. I am happy with my choice and would buy this again if I were on the market for a new pram.

Improved and perfect – I used to own a steel craft reverse handle with my first baby a few years ago and it was very hard to maneuver, the wheels were going everywhere. Everything else was great. This seems to be a much-improved model. It has all the best features of the previous one and the wheels are fixed and absolutely perfect as well. I am so happy with the pram I take it out every day. I would recommend this pram to every mother. Show reply
Excellent – Bought this pram 2nd hand and my child's capsule car seat fits into it. Is very early to fold up. And hardly takes up any space in my boot. Is light and easy to manoeuvre around. I would recommend this product to friends and family. Comes in different colours as well.
Great cheaper priced pram – A very sturdy pram that is easy to push. Quick fold up mechanism and easy to lift with one hand. Nice big hood that shades baby from the sun. Recline feature using straps can be quite annoying and it doesn't go completely upright. Material is not removable so cannot be machine washed but is still easy to clean.
Can’t live without it – This pram is the best quality, so comfortable for my son who is now 3 he has had it since birth & still to this day no problems with it , the recline position is great lays right back so my son has a great sleep pram has great storage also under storage
Great affordable pram! – We have used this pram with both our kids and we love it. For peace of mind I need to be able to see my children when they are in the pram so this reversible handle pram was a must for us. It’s easy to fold up and down and fits fine in the boot of our family car.
Useful feature with reverse handle – I like the pram because it is lightweight and has a reverse handle which is a very useful feature when travelling with a baby. I found that the wheels of the pram are not that agile and not that easy to manoeuvre in comparison to a regular umbrella stroller. I would still recommend because of the reverse handle feature.
I love my agile plus – Its so easy to get in and out of the car Super lightweight and awesome value for money i love that the capsule can click right on and once bubs out grows that there's no need to buy a new/2nd seat just take off the capsule amd away you go
Good Pram – This pram was a good buy. The price is fair. It is easy to fold, unfold and carry. It is not that big that uses too much space in the car boot. My baby likes it as well. Also it has other small spaces to keep stuff when I am doing grocery shopping.
love it – amazing compact pram, originally had another steelcraft pram but couldn't fold it and fit in my boot of Suzuki swift. this pram folds so compact it fits in Suzuki boot and a bag next to it. easy to push. only thing I did notice is that when baby is laying flat nothing clicks in to hold them flat so if they are fighting sleep and can pull there weight up they can sit up and be cheeky
Best pram for my little bub – Easy to manuever and light pram. Using this pram to my newborn baby and very happy that seat can be recline that baby can lie down and can change to rear facing. Easy to use for our daily walk around the boardwalk and in the city. Little bub loves it a lot.
It's an excellent pram!!! – I have two children and have had a few prams and strollers but this pram is by the far the best one. It is easy to maneuver and fold. It can accommodate a child under 5 years old depending on the child's weight. My 4 year gets tired on a long walking trip so he still likes being pushed. It is very handy , we even took the pram with us overseas… Read more
. The canopy is the best as it can be fully extended if your child is sleeping it keeps the baby safe from the sun wind and mozzies.
Con: Hard to get to basket. and basket is towards small size.
Best pram ever! – This is the best pram ever! I can fold it up and lift it into my boot one handed, itsndone twl kids and still going strong, the capsule was perfect too! It's easy to manoeuvre and not so big that it's a hassle! I see so many mums with ginourmous prams and just think why??
