Steelcraft Holiday Layback

So hard to manoeuvre, impossible – The wheels get stuck and roll uncontrollably. Its so bad that I went in the websites to look for a recall because its dangerous as the baby moves very quickly to the sides. Show details

Excellent value for money – I've had this stroller for over two years and I use it more than my big Strider plus pram. It is sturdy, excellent turning circle, easy to push one handed, high handles suit taller people, folds up small to easily fit in any car boot, great to grab and go for a quick trip and just as good for an all day trip (I took baby and toddler in the city by… Read more

myself all day quite frequently, just put the ergo baby carrier in basket and we headed out for the day). My 3.5yr old still sits comfortably in it when he needs a break but it has a very narrow base that will fit through the narrow gates at all train stations I have gone through in Sydney (a plus when you are in a hurry and the wide gate is busy). Also excellent at the airport and I've never had problem with bits breaking like when my big pram was booked through. I love that the seat folds completely flat and the basket is a good size. Negatives: in full recline the basket is basically useless as you can't get anything in or out, The 5 point harness clip seems to challenge quite a few family members who have borrowed the pram, don't load up the handles and then take Bub out - the pram tips on it's back every time. Otherwise a fantastic pram, great value for money, I'd buy another one for the second car if hubby would let me! my big expensive pram sits at home as this one wins out 95% of the time :)

Good value, compact, sturdy – I already owned a Steelcraft Acclaim pram with my first child and needed a second one for next bub (Didn't go for a tandem pram as they were too heavy for me at the time). Decided to buy this stroller when it was on special at Big W. It is heavy for a stroller (not much lighter than my Steelcraft Acclaim pram) however not being light does make it… Read more

sturdy and manouvre easily, even when my 13kg child is using it. It is very compact and fits in the boot of our sedan WITH the Acclaim pram too. Very easy to fold. Instructions are easy to follow. You can lock/unlock wheels to suit terrain unlike some very cheap strollers. 3 things which can be improved:1) it doesn't recline fully flat for a newborn like most prams do (eg the Acclaim reclines fully flat), so when bub was newborn he was always leaning to one side. 2) the adjustable leg rest doesn't stay put when folded up (for newborn), but "clicks" in place fine when positioned down for my older child. (Unsure if this is faulty or normal). 3) Can't access storage basket easily when seat is reclined when bub is asleep. We actually use this stroller more often than the pram now, especially for quick trips to the shops. Overall very happy with my purchase. Sturdy, compact, inexpensive, reliable

Compact, looks great – I bought this umbrella stroller so that we would have more boot space for when we go on overnight trips and need the extra room to fit luggage, portacot etc. I also wanted something compact to take on the train without annoying all the other passengers during peak hour when doing the daycare run into the city. It's been perfect for this. I… Read more

chose this stroller after reading reviews here and looking at the alternative el-cheapo $20 umbrella strollers in the shops. The $20 strollers didn't have padded handles, had much cheaper looking and more uncomfortable looking fabric, and had inadequate sun shades. The handles also looked to be very low and even short people like me would have to hunch to push the stroller.

Although this stroller is slightly heavier than I hoped, it is very compact compared to my baby jogger pram and leaves me with plenty of boot space. It is easy to fold/unfold, and easy to recline the seat. The stroller looks nice and looks more expensive than the $88 (on sale) price tag.

It is easy to push and I like the security of the wrist strap. The pouch at the back of the stroller is very handy and makes up for the under basket which is on the small side, a bit flimsy, and can be hard to access (my baby jogger pram has a huge and fab under-basket).

There are 2 foot brakes, which takes some getting used to, but the brakes are made of a softer plastic than the $20 strollers which is more gentle on your toes when wearing thongs/open sandals. I don't think this stroller will replace my big, comfy baby jogger pram, but it definitely meets my needs for something zippy (yet sturdy) for weekends away, and quick trips. Looks nice, great colour, compact, good sun shade, lovely fabric, padded handles, easy-to-follow instruction manual. A little heavy, small under basket, two foot brakes.

Really good for the value – I am really happy to have this stroller It is easy to use , to manoeuvre It is a very good product for the price I use it every day for my son who weight 15kg over strolle break down but This one is really solid Nor to heavy if you need to carry it I really recommand it for child over 1 years I buy it since 2 years still working !!  Show reply

Great bargain stroller – it is not the most easy to control stroller compare with my larger Quiny pram. But it's ok still can handle it without trip or fall over with kid onboard. it's not super heavy and it's quite easy to fold and carry. Sometimes the pram would unlock itself but it's ok just need to be careful not scratching the car paint The quality is great and… Read more

my son loves to have his nap inside.

Only issue now is my son seems to be tall enough his feet will touch the wheels when turning. Also my rear wheels have very bad uneven wear. but it doesn't affect the ride

Anyway I am happy with it so as my son

Great – Easy to move, no troubles with the pram my daughter enjoys it, easy to pack never need to rely on anything else, had another stroller which does not compare to this, this is good in every kind of way but for exercise it’s not highly reliable, hard to run with it

Heavy and hard to maneuver – Had difficulty in pushing this stroller, so heavy and hard to maneuver and the wheels often get stuck and wont roll. Paid around $99 not worth the money could buy $25 worth of stroller with same or better performance. Always ending up with sore hand after using it. Excellent design and fabric but still wont buy it again. Like the design- looks sturdy and comfty for the child. So hard and heavy to maneuver.

OK – We bought this stroller as a cheaper alternative which we could take on flights etc when we were going away. It's not a stroller i would recommend using on a daily basis though - mainly because it has terrible maneouverability. It has however served the purpose that we bought it for. Inexpensive, lightweight Maneouverability not good, not much padding in seat, not a smooth ride.

OK – it is a compact and simple stroller and thats just about it really. there isnt much support for the baby in comfort wise as there is no padding on the material and the baby tend to slouch due to this. the material on the sides tend to give way easily from the bars and the baby can get his/her hand caught in it easily. it isnt recommended for… Read more

newborns as the seat doesnt recline all the way back. i bought mine whilst on holiday and have used it for that purpose only. its not a pram to keep long term. compact and simple it doesnt look like a comfortable ride for child as there is no padding and ive noticed on mine, my baby slouches in it due to the lack of support for child. the shade visor keeps coming undone and bends out of shape very easily. the front wheels lock on its own (and has a mind of its own), they steer when they want to. definitely need two hands to steer. i dont like the reclining function as its a mechanism that can easily break or jam. personally i dont think its even worth the $100 they sell it for at big w.

I really enjoy using this stroller – I have used many strollers/prams. I have a few favorites and in the "lightweight, quick errand" category this is my fave for the price. If you no longer want to use a bigger, heavier stroller, or you want something for travel this is perfect, I find it one of the best quality umbrella style strollers. Doesn't feel cheap and flimsy like the $25… Read more ·  1

dollar ones, but i'd say it feels strong and good quality like the $250-300 overpriced umbrella ones. So its a definite win for me! Good quality for a decent price.

Afforadable, Good Quality, Easy to fold, and steering is great!

I'd definitely recommend.

Great stroller for a great price – We actually bought this stroller for our upcoming newborn, but our toddler has become obsessed with wanting to use it herself! She loves it! I don't have any comments on use with a newborn yet, but so far its awesome for a toddler! The full layback function has even allowed my daughter to have a nap while out and about, which she hasn't done for 2… Read more

years!! Looking forward to trying it out for our new bub, but think we'll have to but another one as my daughter no longer wants to use her old one, haha! It's compact, sturdy and easy to fold - I can't fault it! Love this stroller, especially for the price!

Pretty good stroller – It was hard to find this item in stock anywhere and I finally got one at Big W for around $90. It is bigger and heavier that I thought it would be, which is good for bub's comfort but a bit of a hassle fitting it into a small car boot. The seat is more padded than other strollers I looked at and the layback option is great for long walks when bub… Read more

finally dozes off. It can be folded up and unfolded with one hand, but steering one handed can be a bit difficult. Overall I would recommend it.

Good for short trips to the shop – Easy to fold and unfold & to put in the back of the car. Great pram for short trips, folds back to sleeping position. Only down side is that there is not much sun protection for child outdoors. Overall a great light weight pram for what you pay for it.

A Pretty Good Stroller - Not 5 Star, But Good – This is a pretty good stroller. It's compact, light, comfy for bub, and is nice enough to drive. I love that you can recline it for younger bubs. There's just a few things about it that stopped me giving it 5 stars: - the clip to hold it together when folded releases far too easily and is always coming undone - the hood also comes off way too… Read more

easily and often unclips when I'm just taking it out of the boot

- you can't access the storage basket when the seat is reclined

- it's easy to accidentally push the seat back up when you're getting things from the back storage pouch

- it says it fully reclines, but it doesn't. It doesn't go fully flat, but it's still good enough for young babies.

So overall I'm very happy with it. It certainly does the job. It's just not perfect.

This is what I want – I used bulky buggy like a folded push bike. Nothing can be loaded into my back car space except buggy. So, I had been looking for the second stroller which is easy handling and compact. I was lucky to find this before buying $25 stroller sold at Target. What a compact size! I got car space back. I can carry it with one hand, and handle it… Read more

smoothly. My 9 months old baby looks comfortable. I wished I could find it two months ago. No problem for walking in town from shop to shop, but maybe not suitable for jogging:). I love it. I can't go back to my first buggy. easy handling, carry it everywhere can't use storage basket when seats pushed back

I love it... But clip broke after 4 months – Love the pram... Have had it for 4 months, bought it while I was actually on holiday interstate, (so now can't replace or exchange or find receipt) - and just recently my mum broke the clip... She may have been too rough or didn't understand the 5 points, but either way it's effected my trust in using it safely. Though, it actually hasn't made the… Read more

clip non-functional, it still clicks together, but now I'm a little worried as new mum with a small baby.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement clip? I'm heading to Bali in 7 weeks and would love to take it if I could trust bub would not fall out. It's the waist side clip...??!

Other than that it's a great light pram...

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME HOWEVER... So I can love and enjoy it again!! :) Great price, light and kinda cute Clip on strap broke (possibly by my mums accidental mishandling) and don't expect to be using the basket at all if the seat is laying down

Sad to have to throw away – We can't repair our pram , too much trouble to send up to Perth, I will miss greatly , Probably look for a second hand one Been the best stroller I have owned even though not happy had to throw away I would still highly recommend , especially if you have back problems. Light, convenient , takes up very little space in car Part of framework broke, can't repair close to hhome

Compact & affordable! – We had a bulkier stroller and it took up heaps of room in the trunk, so I wanted to downsize to something that I could easily fold up, keep in the car and still have room for groceries. This one is perfect. The basket isn't as large as they say, I can't fit much in there. But I just have a tie up backpack that hangs on the back that does the job… Read more

well. You can buy a cup holder thing if you wish, but I found I really don't need it. This is a great buy and I'm pretty happy with it. When I go out, I see at least 5 people with the same stroller. I recommend it if you want a secondary stroller for grandma and grandpa or for your toddler to jump in and out of while you're out. price, compact, lightweight basket at the bottom isn't very large.

Pretty good stroller – We bought this for our holiday / travel stroller as it is compact. First time we used it was on holiday and when we got home, we put our other pram away and continued to use this one. Our son was happily using this stroller at 6 weeks old with no problems in the near upright position (with a headrest to keep him in place) and loves to sleep in… Read more

this too in the down flat position. I was really sold on this stroller the moment we got into a taxi with all of our luggage and there wasn't much space left but it managed to fit in. Have used this on rough terrain as well and it has made it ok. It is so easy to use, fold in and out with the one foot and you don't need two hands to do it. Compact, inexpensive, easy to fold/unfold, comfortable for baby, high handles One of the top plastic thingy came off (on the handle) but its not important in using the stroller.

Very handy - So glad I bought it! – When my daughter was about 10 months old, we felt the need to purchase a lighter and more practical pram than the one we had. In the end, we opted for the Steelcraft Holiday Layback. I bought it at Big W for around $79, so it was not one of the cheap $20 umbrella stroller as I wanted some extra features. This stroller is sturdy, the handles are… Read more

tall enough so that my husband does not have to bend, it has a large mesh basket underneath and a removable sun shade. It's fairly light and when folded, it takes very little room. Love the unisex red colour and the fact that it has a reclinable foot rest and reclinable back rest making it ideal even for younger babies. I am very happy with this stroller, I have nothing bad to say! Sturdy, easy to handle and fold, storage basket, reclinable, colour, taller handles Nothing!

Wish I found this 10 months ago – Love how compact it is, easy to setup and dismantle, great for daily walks and trips to the shops. Allows plenty of space in the boot for shopping. We placed an extra padding cover in it for comfort (as I had this for another pram, which we are now selling). Easy handling, sturdy, compact and inexpensive

A smoother drive – This is the fifth pram I have had and its my favorite so far. It has higher handles so my husband doesn't have to hunch over while using it and the basket space underneath comes in handy. It's very easy to fold up, but it does take up a fair amount of room long ways. Maybe the manufacturer could make the handles adjustable? It is very… Read more

difficult to recline the seat while my daughter is in the seat. You need to crouch down and use both hands while balancing my head against the back of the seat so it doesn't slam down.

This is the only one you need! – We bought this for travel but it has become our everyday pram/stroller. Handsome, well-designed with a sturdy frame. It oozes quality. It is easy to fold/unfold, lightweight and relatively compact. The handles are well placed so you won't kick the wheel even if you are taking full strides. Steering is excellent, but requires hands on each of the… Read more

handles to maintain a straight line. If you are taking this on an aeroplane, I suggest taking along an ockey strap, don't rely on the plastic lock. Our 'full size' (ie expensive) pram/stroller stays at home and gets less and less use, we are going to sell it! Won't kick the wheels when taking full strides. A carry handle would be appreciated.

This pram is the one – We have this particular pram for two years now ,and not complains at all about any specific fixture or task ,We are happy and satisfied with this product is recommended to some one looking for quality pram at not too high price,the average mother will love it specialy the quality of it. price, reliabilities and handling,very light weight .

Unbreakable! – It works well, has plenty of good features, however im really impressed with the strength of this stroller. I ran over it twice in the Volvo wagon, you would think it would be destroyed, but no, it is still quite functional. In fact, it seems to have suffered almost no damage at all. the only thing i can see is the main frame is very slightly… Read more ·  2

bent, and ALL the joints and fastenings are fine, not even a crack anywhere.

Incredible. Great product. Very well made.

Cheap, practical and sturdy – I purchased this pram as a cheap get-about pram to replace some huge & heavy hand-me-down jogger strollers that had been given to me. The pram was perfect for what I needed, really sturdy, easy to assemble and I've been using it now for about 6 months with no issue. Very happy with this pram and would recommend to everyone! Light-weight &… Read more

compact, easy to fold up, easy to assemble, very study, hard plastic wheels that don't puncture, cheap, has a holding basket underneath, straps are excellently designed to take child in/out easy, the back rest is really easy to move from sit-up to lay-down position Doesn't have a cup holder, underneath basket is a bit hard to access as the chair is in the way. Baby faces away from you.

Love and loved this stroller – I have had this stroller for nearly 2 and a half years and its pretty much on its last legs now as my 3yr old has gone up to 20kg and this was designed to hold up to 17kg. It is a strong compact stroller I have not used any other strollers but would not buy the cheaper models as looked exactly that 'cheap' do not think cheaper models would have… Read more

lasted as long. Great that its got a cover which has a peek gap so can see down onto child and large pocket off this. The basket at the bottom cannot hold large groceries but maybe food bag or happy meal box...just. You can also lay the chair back as well. It really was perfect for what I needed at the time. Price perfect under $100

Compact, strong framework, very good price – We originally buy this pram for overseas traveling. Although it is relatively heavier than other strollers, but it is more comfortable for the baby and feel more solid to push around bumpy roads. We have a bugaboo bee, we end up using this stroller for traveling on public transport because of smaller footprint. The back pocket is extremely useful… Read more

which I wish bugaboo has one. It is very easy to fold up and much less space in the car boot than the bugaboo. Compact, flexible, sturdy A bit heavy

Compact fits in small cars – I drive a micra and found it very difficult getting a pram/stroller that fitted in the boot. This fits with ease even leaving room for a couple of bags of shopping. It is so light and ease to open, fold and lift. Being so compact I can park anywhere I don't have to rely on mothers with prams parking places. I have used it from the time my little… Read more

man came home from hospital as it fully reclines I just added a jolly jumper head support in the early weeks. So easy to push even with one hand. Even better I got it at a great price too!! It's light in weight, ease to open and fold, compact, full recline, great colour storage basket under seat is difficult to access if stroller is in full recline

Easy to use Stroller – I LOVE this stroller, between having my 2 kids & looking after friends kids & nieces & nephews. This is the BEST pram I have ever used, It is so easy to push & lays back so the kids are comfy too. My 3 year old still goes in hers and we have the same stroller for my 1 year old son. Easy to push with1 hand, Lays all the way back Basket underneath is a little small

Great compact stroller – I brought this to leave in the boot of my hatch back as my other pram was to big to take with us everywhere. It is great, it's cheap and I've been using it for 2yrs now with both my children from birth right up to the age of 2 (so far). It's been everywhere from the beach to the cafe and is still going great. Inexpensive Not ideal for walking on rough surfaces

Great affordable stroller that is perfect for the car – Honestly - for the price - you can not go wrong. I have another pram which is larger and heavier that doesn't get used as much in favour of this one which is light (around 6kg), quick & easy to fold down & put up, peek-a-book window good size and the sun visor looks into place better than my more expensive pram. However, the sun visor could be a… Read more ·  1

lot longer (like the baby jogger - however that is 8 times the price). The recline function is situated on both sides of the basket and requires two hands to recline the seat back, however, only have to push up on the seat with one hand to raise it. This is not a stroller for off-road or jogging. The tyres are fine for walking on roads and flat surfaces like shopping centres etc. No option for a seat attachment etc - forever a single stroller only.

For the price - you honestly can not go wrong. Inexpensive, reliable and super light - doesn't hog the boot Not the tallest stroller - hubby is 6 foot and feels arms are too short for him whereas me at 5'8" - not too bad. Also kinda small basket is hard to get to when seat reclined.

Cheap but good – Bought this as we wanted something smaller to travel with and also take on train and tram folded up. Well made, have used from newborn, though we use a baby carrier/sling more. Like many strollers, can't really access basket when seat fully laid back for a newborn, which won't be a problem later. Sun shade quite small, so have used cloth over it… Read more

for extra shade. Like the window in the sun shade to look through to see what he's up to. Small pocket on back for a carrying a few things is handy Seems sturdy, price (<$100, we got it on sale even cheaper), fairly small folded
