    I bought the Swallow Beema Q from baby co around $399, it was in choice magazine as one of the best three wheelers and it fits down all shopping checkouts!!!! Everyone I know that has one is happy and it's quite compact to fit in the boot. My girlfriend was allowed to try the demo model in her boot as well. Hope this helps, I was also looking at the strider but it wasn't practical for us either.
    Best of luck pram hunting!

    I'd suggest avoiding a stryder or anything that wide. I don't have one but I know someone who does (she loves it) and watch her having trouble getting around shopping centres, particularly in food courts and small stores. It also takes up a lot of room when out for dinner. I have a Mother's choice shopping stroller which was cheap as and it's only about as wide as myself so I know I can take it pretty much anywhere I can fit so it makes life very easy.

    I watched someone with a twin pram yesterday trying to get out of Aldi and she couldn't fit through the exits - she had to somehow get out through the entrance which had one of those one way swinging gates. Life is not always easy when getting around with a pram.

    Personally I love our P&T (Phil & Teds). Not very original as they are everywhere now, but it has got us through 2 boys really well.

    I had the Strider and sold it - heavey bulky, easy to steer when bub weighs 4 kgs but when they get heavier it is awkward. I have a P & T on layby and they are pretty narrow for a 3 wheeler plus you have the double kit option that I love. I have only heard good things about it!
