Steelcraft Strider Deluxe out in September

ooooooh.

I have a Strider - did she mention what the difference with the deluxe was?

No, she didn't know what the difference was. She said she'd been on their website and they didn't have any info. I was also looking on their website about a week ago after I discovered the Strider Take 2 in a shop, and found that there was no mention of the Take 2 on there, plus they still have the Seaspray colour and not Pebble. Grrrrr, hate out-of-date websites....need to feed obsession

Do you like your Strider fionas?

Yep, I've been very happy with it. Love the fact that we can do rear or front facing. Loved the fact that you can get a bassinette. Love the fact that it's really easy to fold (important for a completely unco person like me). Love the fact that it's so light. Love the fact that baby is high up.

The only tiny things that they could improve for me would be: a) move the brake so it's not down low next to the wheel (but I have pelvic instability which means raising my foot off the floor and clicking the brake on and off was tricky) and b) possibly make the seat fully reclinable (though DD slept in the completely upright position the other day so it doesn't seem to bother her too much) and c) possibly the wheels (we've had no problem with them but I'd prefer it if they were a bit springier).

But I'd definitely buy another Strider. Excellent value for money IMO.

I have a Strider too and I love mine for all the same reasons as Fiona We got the bassinette attachment too and are still using it. DS sleeps in it all the time! I'm putting off moving off the bassinette into the stroller, it means DS is growing up :P lol

Fantastic, thanks girls. I was also looking at the Valco Rad today, it looks like it's got narrower back wheels, but I'm not too keen on it given some of the reviews on the Product Review website, plus I've heard pneumatic wheels can be a problem. Plus it's more expensive.

I just bought a pebble Strider yesterday.. They didn't mention anything about a new model. Maybe I should wait to take it out of the box just incase i like the Toffee colour.. does anyone have any idea what the delux model will offer or the colours??????
