I had a look at the Baby Jogger and was quite excited! I rang my local Baby store and was told as far as they know it is NOT being released in Australia as they don't think it meets Aust standards. It can be purchased online but obviously you cant try it out beforehand and there will be no warranty. I was on another forum doing research last night and read that apparently there is a prob with about 10% of the Strider Plus' and they may be recalled. Its only when you add in adaptors for extra seat space (?). Apparently you can purchase adaptors which lock into the stroller which gives a little more height and therefore space between the seats. One side apparently doesn't lock as it should. From what I read- if you take it back to place of purchase they should chase up Steelcraft and organize you a new stroller if yours is affected.
I confess ladies... after being smitten with this pram, I'm now coveting another... the BabyJogger City Elite. I'm yet to try it in the flesh, but will do when I'm in Perth for my next scan (mid Jan) - will post my thoughs then.
I saw a lady with this pram today and she was walking with her back arched, as the back seat sticks out sooo much! I asked her is this how it is and she said "yup so you need to reach for the handle to push it, didnt look like fun to me! Or easy!
