    Does anyone know much about the Steelcraft Cruiser Stroller & Travel System.... can you still get them new? or only on Ebay?

    I have a Steelcraft Terrain listed on e-bay at the moment for $75 that meets your criteria. I used it when ds2 was in a capsule, this pram is compatible with the Safe and Sound Unity Capsule. PM me if you want details.

    We were given some money from dh's family and have now upgraded to a Phil and Ted Explorer which, if you're going to go brand new, I LOVE IT!!!!!!

    hi angelaartsstudent

    I haven't tried any of the other ones mentioned but I have a baby jogger city mini and love it!!! So easy to get around all the tight shopping isles and lightweight and easy to fold, it reclines well and has a good basket, but doesn't sit bolt upright and I'm not sure how easily it would fit an older child in. I got ours when I was pg with DD2 because it was so much easier to lift than my phil and ted 2 seater and mainly use it for shopping and walking on footpaths. We also had trouble fitting some of the umbrella strollers in our boot and found this one took up barely any room once folded. I don't hit the back of my city mini and am about 170cm tall, but I guess you could test it out in the shop?

    Goodluck deciding though. I hate when you buy something and it doesn't work out the way you want.

    Hmm ja that is my worry - about fitting an older/larger child.

    P is the size of the average 3 year old, so I am expecting to have another tall kid. :-)

    I have a graco which is also great except for the size and weight. But my sister has a maclaren and its brilliant - really light weight, small, easy to fold - I would recommend you check out one of their range.

    I'm another one with a maclaren vogue which I really like - its alot more solid than other umbrella strollers whilst still being compact. Only thing I don't like is how it tips when you forget you've got shopping on the back and you take the baby out.

    So gotta keep an eye on this thread... I thought I'd picked our pram until I saw it on saturday at the markets with a 18 - 24 month old in it and the seat wasn't tall enough to suit a toddler... strider plus :-( start again...
    I'd give it another look, my DD is a tall 2.5yr old (I think up above the 75% from memory) and she still fits fine in both seats on the strider plus.
