    Needing advice on Strollers!

    Currently we have the Steelcraft Strider Plus, and, I really don't like it!

    Was great with the capsule, but Miss Z outgrew that around 3months!

    And now, she just seems so damn cramped in the pram seat thingy!

    And, my god, the thing is HUGE!

    Having to take off the Seat to collapse it to put it in the boot...blah

    Me = EASY! (that may read wrong, but hopefully you all know what I mean! )

    Soooo, lovely ladies....gimme your recommendations! please!!!

    I kinda want one that isn't going to cost me my firstborn (although, the way she has been acting today......)

    One that is easy to collapse etc

    One that is durable

    One that is great for going walking with

    One that is *pretty, but not tooooo pretty*

    I shall await your replies! ...

    I had a Strider and swapped it for Steelcraft Agile. The best decision I ever made!!! It's so light, one handed fold, you don't have to remove the seat. It's just fantastic!!! I use it everyday and I've not had any issues with it.

    Baby Jogger City mini or elite. I had the city mini double and loved it - seriously don't get a pram that's easier to fold than that and they're quite roomy. Really easy to steer with lots of colour choices

    I can't speak badly of my Bugaboo Bee but I suspect that fits into the 'sell the firstborn' category.

    My friends with Baby Jogger City Mini's all love them to bits. I have a double and it's so easy to fold and very light.

    Stroller I'm thinking Liviam...if Miss Z is like her big sis, she will only want to be in one until she's about 18 months old!

    I'm looking for same thing for same reason. My strider is just too heavy and I barely use it.

    We recently bought a Mamas & Papas Sola which we love. 1 step fold, compact, looks good and still sturdy enough to put up with the broken pavements around our way!

    I have a Valco ion and love it. Easy to fold and the height inside the pram is really good. It's light weight and easy to move around.

    I have a Steelcraft Agile too and LOVE it! I also looked at Phil & Teds Smart Stroller and Valvo Ion when I was looking for a pram
