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.
