Has anyone got the steelcraft strider 4? I'm agonising over prams at the moment with the added constraint of DH only wanting a 4 wheeler as he thinks the 3 wheelers are not stable enough. My concern with the strider is once baby gets to be 2 or so where are he/she legs going to rest, there doesn't seem to be a foot ledge like other prams. I'm a first time mum so maybe i'm missing something obvious??
Also has anyone got a emmuljunga city cross or cerox?
Any other recommendations or feedback would be appreciated
we have a strider 4 on layby at the moment. it was recommended to us by a few different people & it has great reviews on the product review website. we had a play in the shop & it seemed really easy to use. can't comment more than that yet!
have u looked at the steelcraft strider 4 take 2? i brought this as a gift and there is no bar to block the legs , im a bit critical of the normal strider 3/4s because of that foot bar my dd at 14months who is small but chunky there was not lot of room .
i personaly have a childcare hola , it depends on ur budget i guess . im pro 4 wheeler after hAving my phil n teds tip when dd was 2 wks old and a friend with a valco who has regular similar problems .
goodluck - have a look at choice online for there saftey recomendations
Yep - got the strider 4 and like it apart from one thing... a very wide wheel base (ie having to use the disabled lane at the supermarket checkouts). We have the bassinet part and use it all the time - particularly helpful when DS is unsettled we can rock him to sleep and then leave him to sleep there without disturbing him by transferring him to a cot etc. I do love how it is very solid and sturdy though.
We have the valco rad and have been using it for 19 months. Definitely recommend it - fits easily through aisles and easy to push. Only issues are that now the foam on the handle has started to tear. Also it has a plasticy ripple effect on the footrest (I can understand why - hard wearing where the feet go), but it is tricky to clean and when DD has spilt her milk down there I just can't get it out, so it looks pretty rubbish at the moment. Must try a bit harder.
Another plus is that it looks really cool and 3 different sets of friends have bought it because of my recommendation (I'm a bit proud that I found it - LOL!!)
I have the Steelcraft Cruiser (from Target - very similar to Strider - but CHEAPER) I was worried about the footrest on the seat and what would happen when their little legs are too long. The girl at the shop showed me how you fold the footrestback under the seat and then they can rest their lttle feet on the pram frame above the wheels. I thinks it is a little bit narrower than the strider as well. We haven't used ours yet - but it is set up with the bassinette and looks and handles great. I have been practising folding and unfolding which is easy too.
