I have an emalljunga, that's the one with toddler seat and reversible seat. I use it all the time. The other one is a steelcraft one, but I have no idea of the model. It lives at my mum's
Ours is an Emmaljunga too. Very sturdy and the wheels are fixed. We used a Hug-A-Bub carrier in shopping centres and the pram for walks around the block and that kind of thing. Once she was a bit older we got a smaller stroller for the shops and travel, but TBH it didn't get anywhere near as much use as the Hug-A-Bub, or the other pram.
I got a steelcraft 2nd hand the first time I came to melbourne and I swear by it! It had reversible handle laid completely flat with 3 setting in between, had a cover, had 4 wheels, all of which could be set to swivel or not and was more compact that many of the 'trendy' pushers I see around. It is ACE and I would buy it again in a second.
The handle is so good when you are walking at sunset or rise, when the sun in in the baby's eyes (DD hated having a sheet or anything over the pram when walking no matter the weather) or if they are a little older and eating in the pusher so you can keep an eye on them, or if they are feeling a little clingy or tired you can watch them and they feel better.
Anyway, get a steelcraft with the reversible handle, that's my vote!
Hi there,
We've got a four-wheel pram with a reversible seat and so far I love it. It's a Love N Care Adiva Sport. We don't have probs with the wheels because the big wheels are always at the back, if you know what I mean - so turning circles are always tight etc. My DS is 9kg at the moment, and the seat part must be approx 2kg. I don't have any probs picking the seat up and turning it around with him in it at the moment, although if I'm honest it will be harder/impossible to do this as he gets bigger. Just means thinking ahead before I put him in it though! Also, we can't fit a toddler seat to ours.
We did tons of research before buying a pram, and found one that suited us and our needs, so I can only advise you to shop around and ask lots of questions, which you're obviously doing. Good luck.
Andie
