    I was going to suggest a steelcraft as my BIL checked out the suspension of the range of prams we were checking out and this was the best. Second having a repair kit and pump at all times especailly for those HUGE *****les if you get them where you are. When we lived on property I found my sling/carrier to be very handy for getting out and about in the yard also.

    Actually, that's a really good point! My sister has an Adventure Buggy because they're in the bush frequently (camping, moutain biking, etc) and there is a horrible *****le over here in WA referred to as 'double g's' which have given them grief on many occassions. They've had to replace the tubes in their tyers quite often because of the *****les!

    That's true about burrs (cats eyes etc) and Emmalunga have optional solid wheels as well (that can be bought separately) ... just for everyone's info. I had solid wheels on my first Emma and it lasted over 10 years without any worries about pumping etc.

    Jen27 - so weird, I replied to you yesterday but now can't see it on the page!! Anyhoo, I live in the mallee in SA not WA, and bought mine in Adelaide. Valco do seem to have a pretty good website so might be worth contacting them about suppliers. I know I havent actually used the pram yet but it looks pretty good to me
