i had a bertini bidwell to start with but was unable to lift it after dd was born by c section . very heavy , but could fit in in most cars with the wheels being removed . Very sturdy and pushed wheel , but it felt like u had it loaded up before you put the child in , does that make sence to others ?
i brought a Childcare Hola - four wheeler - penumantic (sp?) pump up wheels on rear and reasonable size wheels on the front . i have found this to be reasonably good over paddocks and excellent over grass ie parks , i have a large yard , paddocks .
i have been looking at the Steelcraft strider 4 take 2 for a friend - but i am not sure what there like over rough surfaces . but an alt to what i have if u need a toddler seat .
I too was looking at the Bertini X4 pram as it did everything i wanted & i loved the large wheels on it. When DH looked at it he commented on how bulky they seemed & that the steering might become an issue. I still loved it though.
We ended up going with the new Valco Rebel I.Q that has just come out on the market. The wheels are solid rubber intsead of pneumatic so no risk of punctures. The front whells are slightly smaller than the back wheels but still a good size. It was also very easy to steer & reasonably light too.
I'm also in a country town & did a lot of research on prams. Good luck with your search.
i had the bertini domir i loved it it has a reversable handle and proper pump up wheels for off road adventures wind cover and rain cover
pity you weren't in qld i have mine for sale cheap ..
