    hi, i find 4 wheelers easier to get on the trams when opened up. This is bc it is hard to balance the pram on its front wheel when getting on the tram. The new trams are g8. No problems getting on or off, just make sure you use the middle doors. I made a mistake of getting on the first door thinking the driver's there etc but it was such a tight squeeze and no room for pram and others wanting to get on. Big mistake. The middle doors are lovely, very wide and plenty of room to park the pram once on. Have never dared using the older trams as they have 2 steps. There's no way i could manage that. I have peg pilko, never used it folded up. I am only petite, so would not be able to manage holding bubs and stroller and nappy bag.

    I have a Phil and Ted and have used it on both the flat entrance trams (the new ones) and the older ones with the steps. I have only taken it on the older trams when I have someone with me to help me get it up the stairs. It fits in the doors ok. It is fine getting the pram onto the flat entrance prams by myself - when I am on my own I always wait for a flat tram as I just never know if someone will stop to help me.
