Sarah, that was a big reason for me not getting the Transaction too. They apparently make them with that strap now to make the pram more lightwieght. To me though it just seems flimsy. The pram itself is gorgeous, although it is quite heavy and a pita to fold up. There is no way you could do it with a baby in your arms. Not that you often do that anyway.

You would have to be nearly under the pram and with both hands free to recline it. Again, not going to work if bub has fallen asleep after a feed and you want to recline it before putting bub back in it.

Enjoy your search hun. You are looking at a good time too, hold out and you will get the after xmas sales
