    Yep, had it for DS, loved it. Upgraded to the Plus when DD was born so I could have both of them in a pram. It's a great pram!

    I have the strider DLX which is the same and am yet to use it with a baby in it but we both love playing with it cause we got all the attachements.
    Its a bit wide so have heard it doesnt fit in some shop check outs but im ok with that

    A good friend just got one for her two girls, and i am pretty impressed by it! It takes a LOT to impress me with a pram, nothing lives up to mine

    DD is in love with it too, and is always asking me to buy one so she and her brother can go in it, she hasn't been in a pram in over a year now, and yet she is desperate for this one so it must be pretty cool!

    I've got the steelcraft strider 4. It is ok for the money but now that DS is nearly two he hates it and therefore so do I. I don't think he can get comfortable. I have had an issue with the brake coming on suddenly also, as we are walking and usually if there is gravel or sticks on the ground. I wouldn't buy the same pram again, sorry to be negative but I would prefer to give you my honest opinion.

    We have one and we love it! Totally worth the money

    We chose it based on the fact its great for tall people so no kicking the back wheels, big basket and the kingfisher colour is gorgeous and gender neutral.

    We have the strider DLX (older model) in the Kingfisher colour. We both love it - my husband because the handle extends to make it taller for him. We also got the capsule and love it also - especially when she was littler, much easier to transport her. She still fits in it at nearly 6 months and is 8kgs- so not a tiny bub! The back wheels are wide though and you do need to use wheelchair checkouts.

    I quite like them from a pushing point of view - they're pretty all-terrain, and the suspension is good, and as KM said, great for tall people. Not so sur on the comfiness for the littlies though.

    I love the look of it too. We are looking at it as an option for a twin pram, using the additional seat rather than a side by side pram. It's great hearing everyones opinions.

    I too am lookingh at getting the Strider 4 for when next bub comes along. We don't have footpaths so I need something that will be able to take walking on the road.

    The only time I will be using it with both kids in it is to walk DD1 to daycare and pick her up, the rest of the time the new bub will be the only one that uses it.

    For those who have it do you think the Strider will be ok?

    this is one pram i've been looking at too but with the two-kid option (whatever that's called plus i think) and I wanted to know how does the two-seater go fitting into a regular sedan boot???
    I have a camry and am worried it wouldn't fit.

    sorry to hijack ahurani but thought it was such a similar topic to what i was about to post...

    Well it fit into my impreza sedan boot the seat clips off so you put the seat and pram in separately. You should go into a baby store and get them to try it
