Steelcraft SC Transition

Perfect – Although they do not make these anymore, I think they are a great ride. A little large to put in a boot, but great if you have a big boot. If you can find one with the bassinet, fly screen and rain cover - Grab it. Easy to push and smooth as anything else on the market.

Not bad since we bought it second hand but we've had some issues – I love my Transition pram but we have had a few hiccups... The previous owners only had it for 2 years and barely used it apparently. The front wheel started shuttering and eventually fell off one day, my husband has since fixed it and it's fine. The arm bar has broke on us twice but we don't need it so it's not a big deal. I've travelled overseas… Read more

with it and it's managed to stay in good condition through the baggage carriers... Overall I like the pram, it's easy to push, I love that it's lightweight, and we use it on the beach which most prams wont do. The bassinet is perfect for newborns and it's easy to install and take off as is the regular reclining seat.

I am 32 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and my first is only 13 months, so I'm looking at getting a double pram as the toddler seat wont allow my eldest to lie back. Bassines, 3 zip recline positions, lightweight front wheel is finicky, arm bar is fragile

OK – I got this pram second hand with a toddler seat as my my bub is due when my first will be two and a half. He walks quite a bit but we do walk a lot so he is in the pram a bit too. As we also have a mountain buggy I could not attach a toddler seat too I thought another three wheeler with a toddler seat would do the trick. I use the pram a few… Read more

times with just my boy in it but did not enjoy the push. I tried him in the toddler seat a few times to see how he would fit but he refused to sit in it. The adjustable handle is nice and high and great for tall people like myself but once you have had the quality and ease of pushing a mountain buggy you just can't go back. I ended up re-selling the transition and getting a side by side mountain buggy even though space is limited at our place. I just love the quality of the NZ made prams. It is capable of taking a toddler seat and the pram goes from newborn to toddler. Good adjustable handle. The quality was not there.

Terrible – this pram was looked after so well, yet the wheel shuttered everytime we used it, it shakes like crazy. then after 5 months of using it only in shopping centres all 3 wheels keep going down. The pram no longer gets used, it makes me angry as I paid alot of money for junk. Dont buy this pram its made poorly Looks good

Excellent – Loved this pram, i purchased everything bar the toddler seat initally and then ordered the todddler seat before my 2nd arrived. Fantasticly priced, so easy to clean, great to push, a joy to own! HIGLY recommend to anyone. Awesome Pram, so easy to get around shops, steer along beach or paths. Loved the Bassinette option for my newborn, used it for… Read more

her to sleep in as an indoor bassinette aswell - great! Purchased Toddler seat for her when our 2nd bub came along and got so much use out of it. Highly recommend this pram. Having to pack it up and sell it once the kids were too big - i love this pram!

Excellent – I have 3 children all under the age of 3 and this pram has been my saviour. I can get all 3 kids on to the pram with the toddler seat and skateboard attachements. I walk with it everyday and find it very easy to fold up and put into the back of the car if needed. Newborns are very cosy in it up to my 3 year old who still loves it. Find it very… Read more

light and easy to manouvre. Would highly recommend this pram!!!!!!! This pram is fantastic. Easy to steer, adjustable handle, toddler seat, skateboard, all the accessories, peek-a-boo window and so on.

Terrible – Would not recommend this pram - there are so many better brands out there in the same price range. Make sure you test drive before you buy or you may regret your purchase. It was reasonable prices. Baby was comfortable. Easy to view child via the viewing window. I absolutely hated this pram - it was too big and hard to steer. Im quite small and… Read more

just felt that the pram was overpowering me. Didnt enjoy it. Ended up selling it after 4 months. I had lots of difficulty getting it in and out of the car. Also my baby didn't like that he couldn't see me.

Terrible – I would not reccomend this pram to anyone, we wasted $400!! The toddler seat is tiny and was no good for my 2 1/2yr old, pram was wobbly to push and too heavy, not a good design. looks great, Nice colours to choose from, comes with great accessories zipper design reclining mechanisim is no good, found they were so stiff every time. too long when… Read more

folded. Front wheel wobbled from the first day i used it. Rusted too quickly, hard to steer, brake was hard to lock in place, wheel base is too wide! storage basket too small.

Good – I am sorry people have had such a bad experience with it as ours has been positive. I would buy this pram again as it is easy to maneuver and the wheels are quite narrow when compared to other prams. I have brought a simple stroller that I keep in my car for the shops so this pram stays in our backyard and I use it regularly when walking and… Read more

going over more bumpy surfaces. Loved it when she was a newborn with the bassinet attachment spent a few late nights pushing her in it trying to get her to sleep. We have replaced two wheels with thorn proof tyres and we haven't had any problems since then and that was a year ago. I walk over lots of broken glass and prickles and they have been great. The tyres do need pumping up every so often but it hasn't been a huge annoyance. I agree with another review, you are not going to find the perfect pram but for us this is as close as we are going to get. I like this pram as the wheels are not too wide, I have always been able to get through shop aisles and checkouts. It is fairly light and haven't had any problems getting it into the car. My daughter likes being in it and sleeps easily in it. I walk regularly with her and I find it easy to push. The brake works well as does the handle adjustment which my husband and I constantly change. It comes with lots of accessories. Our daughter used the bassinet attachment when she was a newborn. We would wheel it around the house depending on where we were and she slept very well in it. Stopped using it when she got bigger around 3 months. There is not much I don't like about it. The zips we thought would be difficult but once you get the hang of it it is fine (I put the brake on when adjusting the zips and this keeps the pram steady). I have a Nissan X-Trail and it does take up the whole boot, with the bassinet attachment more so but you can put stuff on top of it.

Terrible – Two days after writing my review of this pram I was using it and crossing a busy road when the entire back section of the canopy (the flap where the the back pocket it) came loose and dropped away. When I purchased the pram the canopy was already assembled so I had not damaged the canopy when assembling it. It turns out the zip was broken… Read more

despite never having been done up or undone since leaving the factory. I am not impressed. My sleepy baby was woken up by the canopy coming away and I had to cut my walk short because the zip cannot be reattached or even accessed without dismantling and removing the canopy. I then had to drive home (70 kms) with a broken pram and a very unhappy baby in the car. I am trying to think of one single part of this pram that works as it should. Tilted handle adjustment mechanism is a good idea if only they could make the buttons actually click into place. I thought telescoping was better idea but this tilting system works well for users of different heights. Mine did not come with a crotch strap so I do not know why the item description lists one as standard. Back section of canopy can come loose (see below)

Good – It's impossible to find a pram that has absolutely everything that you love about it but I definately don't have any regrets about my purchase and even the bassinett which I bought to use after our daughter was born premature and low birth weight so was very small and couldn't bear the thought of putting her into a regular pram as I wanted… Read more

something very cosy, I used the bassinett for 6 months until she was wanting to sit up and you can collapse the pram with the bassinett in place. It's very light (10kg) which is great for 152cm/49kg person and the adjustable height/angle handle is also great, nice suede fabrics, great looks, plenty of shade provided by hood. Great accessories including bassinett (purchase separately). Because of the fold design you don't scuff the front as other 3 wheel models. Basket too shallow but this was a benefit when using bassinett or lying flat as I could remove my nappy bag at all times without disturbing baby. Would have preferred a different seating mechanism to the zips but once you work it out it's fine. It's quite long when folded but I have a Camry and didn't have any trouble getting it in (but did try this before buying so I knew it would fit)but the benefit is because it's so flat you can stack groceries etc on top of pram in boot.

Terrible – DONT BUY ONE!! Needless to say mine has been collecting dust for about a year now because I think it is to bad to even give it away! It looks good The lock does not lock the pram into place. It is very long when folded so it is hard to put into the car (hurts my back). The brake sticks on, so needs to be pulled back to disengage (hard task when… Read more

you are on escalator). The rear wheel axel was 1.5cm too short and the wheel would fall off! My son broke 4 pram bars (I gave up getting them fixed because it is a 2 hour round trip). The push buttons to fold are stiff and very hard to move. The part that is meant to lock the pram into place hardly ever engages so it is very dangerous - and I have taken it to get fixed several times and still have all the same issues!!

Bad – Not a very good pram, Its too big and bulky and hard to use. Its a good price but you can get a better pram for the same amount. I liked the look of this pram, and it is a good price. It is very Easy to put up and down. Light to maneuver This pram is VERY awkward to pick up. I have a 4WD and when folded this pram took up the whole of my… Read more

boot...which isnt small. I would say if you had a sedan it wouldnt fit. The tyres needed to be pumped up all the time or the tubes replaced!

Terrible – Overall still would not recommend the pram, because of all the problems that I have had -see review by fayed 29th of May, but since speaking with the retailer today and he will provide a credit, even though its not a refund at least I am not getting the 'lemon' pram back, and I can purchase something else we need for the next bubs, hope this… Read more

helps, overall, I would however recomend you got to several stores and do your research as some stores do not sell perticular brands so you might not find what your really looking for if they don't stock it. easy to manouver the fact that is came with so many faults, I put in a review yesterday, this has been an on going saga, I left the pram with the retailer early March, today I called the manufacturer and they told me they credited the retailer, I called the retailer Glenhuntly baby carriages and they will give me a credit for what I paid for, lucky I am pregnant again and I will need more baby stuff, just thought people should know as they have finally done the right thing.

Good – I compared this pram with others with a toddler seat option and I preferred the handling, it seemed well built and reasonably priced. I've been very pleased with the pram, I don't need to put it into a vehicle very often so haven't had too much problem folding it though my locking clip also doesn't work. I decided to purchase the bassinet option… Read more

because my newborn startled at every bump on the street. I've been very pleased with the bassinet, it's cosy, and allows my little one to sleep happily for hours and handles well on the pram. It's good on public transport except for buses. Very easy to steer, optional bassinet & toddler seat. Difficult to fold, pram didn't have enough padding for a newborn, to wide to take on buses easily.

OK – I am happy with this product, although I probably wouldn't buy this pram again. It is excellent value for money, but the size of it folded up isn't what I expected. I recommend anyone buying their first pram to do plenty of research and even see if you can try before you buy! Very sturdy and easy to manouvre and turn. The added accessories that… Read more

come with the pram (rain cover and shade/insect net and handbar) make it excellent value for money. It is very light and has plenty of room for storage The tyres needed to be pumped back up quite often.

It is very bulky and takes up a lot of room in the car.

Not the easiest to fold up.

Good – Considering the price of the pram, it is an excellent value. I've used this pram whenever I go to the park for a walk. My son loves being in it. It's very light for a jogger pram and for the price... It's a really good buy. I purchased the bassinet too. It works wonderfully when my son was still very young. Easy to control and sturdy for walks in… Read more

the park. It comes with covers (mossies net and clear plastic covers) which can be used according to the situation and they can be changed in a less than a minutes. It is quite wide so it does not fit in most shopping centre aisle. It's also not the easiest to fold, although after a few week of using it I'm ok with it. Not very sturdy when jogs with it.

Terrible – Would def not recomend this pram to anyway. i wouldnt even sell mine second hand and rip someone off. I was happy to use pram with the bassinette but baby cant fit in that forever Easy to steer. easy to attach bassinette. Excellent pram with bassinette. I agree that this pram is difficult to fold. Locking mechanism is one little plastic hook… Read more

that does not work. Safety bar broke within one week. Does not fold very compactly. Takes up whole boot of a commodore sedan almost. Reclining positions are adjusted by zips. Very hard to adjust with a sleeping baby. Little tags on zips break very easily. Requires 2 hands to fold. cound go on and on

Good – I would recommend this pram but all I can suggest is try it in your car when folded down does colapse but stays quite long. I like this pram find it very easy to push around. I find it easy to put up and down. I love the fact you can adjust the handle to suit your height. The handle bar is a little bit difficult to put down but after a few times you get used to it, once your baby is sitting up becomes heaps easier.
