DH and I looked seriously at the Steelcraft Enigma (rev. handles) but were warned off it by the shop assistant when she found out we wanted a pram to take walking 4-5 times a week. She said the plastic around the wheels can heat up and loosen the "bits" where the wheels attach to the pram. However, she said if the pram was for use in a shopping centre environment occasionally, it would be ok.
Anyhoo ... I did a fair whack of research and pram browsing, and we bought the Love N Care Adiva Sport. It has a reversible bassinett (which converts to a seat). It's a four wheeler and is good to use out n about - shopping centres AND footpaths. I didn't go much on the fabric of the handle, but that's my only complaint. It's a top pram so far - easy to manouvre (spell?) and it feels solid. On the con side, it's not exactly light weight and pulls down in two bits (bassinet and pram structure) - however, none of this has been a bother for me. We've got a four-wheel drive boot - not sure if it would fit well in a small car. Cost was about $400-$450 depending on where you buy. By the way, we almost bought the Bebe Caprice - virtually identifcal to the Adiva Sport - however I thought the fabric in the Adiva Sport would be easier to keep clean.
