Prams - Peg Perego Skate, Bugaboo Cameleon, Steelcraft Strider??

There is another thread looking at the pros and cons of the bugaboo - it is just too late for me to figure out how to link the thread for you

Hi Mrs B

I cant really comment on the others but as far as Peg PErego's go they are absolutely fantastic.

I had 2 pegs for dd - first one was second hand when i got it after having previously serviced 2 babies, and we walked minumum 1 hour a day, everyday, off road etc..... it lasted for about 2 years before i needed to replace it - and that was mainly because the first one i had was quite bulky and was hard to get on the bus. I dodnt even want to look at any other brands. It was still in great condition and i sold it.

My second one still did the same kinda walking and is now going to service baby # 2 - DD was still being pushed around in it till she was about 4 and a half.

Go the peg!

Hey Kristy. PML about chasing down the bug owner's.. DF nearly did it a couple of times to some Strider owners.
Anyhow, as you can see, I have the strider4. Am yet to put bubs in it, but have it all set up and take it for regular walks around the house LOL...and I love it already. I did chose it over the bug though if that's any help. I think the main reason being that it just seemed sturdier not to mention the price difference. I was all set to buy the bug when I went out pram shopping, but had never seen one up close and was a bit disappointed when I did see it.
Can't help on skate.
Good luck, it's all very exciting. xx

I didn't do a direct comparison between the bug and the Strider but went with the latter mainly because it had all the features I wanted (bassinette, forward or rear-facing seat, light, easy to fold even for me, who's the most unco person in the world) and I figured the $1000 I'd save would allow me to stay home for an extra week or two on maternity leave.

I've been very happy with the Strider.

Oooh, one other thing. That's if you are planning on more children, the Strider now has a toddler seat attachment and I'm not sure the bug does this.
Just a thought anyway.

Only the Strider 4 has the toddler seat so don't get the 3 accidentally!

I had the strider 3 and posted a thread about it a while ago about my love/hate relationship with it!
HERE is the link to it.

Incidentally I have sold it now, and have a P & T on layby! Much lighter, easier to steer plus has 2 seats that semi recline for tired kiddies. The new Vibe has that modern look too, although I got the sport.

I love the idea & look of the strider, but had one issue. As bub gets bigger, that bar at the front is going to be uncomfortable at the back of their calves IYKWIM. I also didn't like that there is no foot rest when they are bigger.
