Hey hun,

I have a thread I will link for you HERE about my Strider story! Needless to say other than the fact that we loved being able to see bubby facing us, especially early on, there were more negatives than positives for us.... My DH in his infinite wisdom, also said the words"We won't need a toddler seat for ages " When I wanted to get the P & T's.... I've now sold the Strider and will be getting a p & T's when this bub arrives!
Good luck with it all!

ETA- We didn't get the bassinet and pram until she was about 2 mths old but we only used the bassinet once when we went to a wedding and she had to go to sleep in it, other than that it was never used in the pram. If I was going to do it again, and wasn't having 2 so close together I would get the Maclaren Techno(I think) that fully reclines..... I have the Quest which is from 3 mths and I love it!!! You definately get what you pay for with a Maclaren as they are expensive but oh so worth it!
