Shar you sound like you have your hands full! A few people I've spoken to have said the Steelcraft Strider Plus is good so I will 'test drive' that out too.

I think I'm leaning towards the safe and sound meridian car seat. I haven't been into a shop yet to look at one so I'm wondering if if has a capsule type of thing which you can just take out if bubs is asleep?

I also love the look of the Phil & ted prams! I have found a shop on the coast which stocks them all plus a few more (including hte steelcraft strider) so I will go and try them all out too. Then keep my eye out for end of financial year sales not only in retail shops but also online

Addittion later on: OK I asked a lady at work and she's informed me that the safe and sound meridian doesn't come with a capsule thingo so we will hire one for a few months 1st than switch over ot the meridian
