We have laybyed the steelcraft agile, (I think I have posted a thread about it before) but I think I like the steelcraft strider plus 4.. Can anyone give me their opinions on either? The main thing I liked with the agile is that it's light, and it does't have to come apart to fold. The thing I like about the strider plus 4 is the look.. Every time I am out and look at a pram and think I like it, it's a strider plus 4 (or bugaboo, but that's out of our price range ) Soo, any help? We can transfer our layby if we want..
Also, our agile is green, the strider would be blue? Do you think they'll look really grubby quickly are we better just to get black?
I have a Strider Plus 3 - the only difference is where the brake is for the front wheel, and front access to the basket underneath is different. The reasons we went for this pram are:
- Can have a bassinette or seat
- Baby can face you or away from you
- Can have two seats for later
- Looks great (that's what sold DH)
- Came with a boot cover, sun shade and rain cover
Size wasn't really an issue for us. I've never taken it somewhere and not have it fit through a door or something. Packing it into the boot is easy for me, but I have a Patrol. I take off the bassinette and put that on one side, then fold the frame (really easy to fold) and put that next to it. Ours is the caramel colour, so it really doesn't show up any dirt.
I haven't actually seen an Agile so can't really compare, but I really love our Strider
I have the strider plus 4 with the extra seat and I love it!
PROS:
First and foremost I loved that all the accessories came with it
The front seat is reversible and so snug and cute when bubs is little
very sturdy with the two kids in it
HUGE basket
Light and and easy to manoeuvre despite its size
Lots of room in the seats, DS is 3 and still comfortable and roomy for him
CONS:
Very wide and I do have some issues with some checkouts (mainly kmart)
Is heavy to fold in and out of car
Does take up alot of boot space
other than that I can not rave about my pram enough. We have the browny colour and I dont notice and marks or stains on it. Not looking closely though The blue one is called Kingfisher I think.
It is a fantastic pram and I am so glad we bought it.
Yes, blue one is Kingfisher .. The agile is not reversible, which is what I liked about the strider, but I love that the agile only weighs 7 kgs.. I have a magna, so boot is fairly big, do you think I'd have an issue with size?
No I wouldnt think so then as it has a fairly big boot doesnt it??
If you need to the seat can be taken off and so can the wheels all very easily, so the frame itself is very light and flat when folded.
Ok, cool.. So the seat can be taken off to fold but doesn't have to be? I just wondered if I would get sick of taking it apart all the time, but if I don't have to that's another tick in my box I'm pretty sure it would fit in the boot..
We just bought our Strider Plus 3 and love it!! All the features we love have been mentioned above by others but we absolutely love the setup for 2, bub can face us while still having the second seat attached, we love the look of them, how all the accessories are included with it and how 'glidey' it feels.. We ummed and aaahed for a while and were going to wait until closer to bub being born to buy ours as DS doesn't use the pram much now but we also love the Kingfisher and they've discontinued that colour and are bringing the silver back instead so we jumped on the last Kingfisher one Bubs Baby Store had, not sure if they've discontinued the Kingfisher in the 4 as well?? Might help you make your mind up though haha! I don't know anything about the Agile sorry but love our Strider Plus do far in the week we've had it!
Steelcraft strider plus 4 OR Steelcraft Agile?
) Soo, any help? We can transfer our layby if we want..
