What's better than the Steelcraft Enigma Reverse Handle stroller?

[SunnyRain]

I saw the Steelcraft Enigma Reverse Handle stroller and I loved how it looked, how soft and comfy the seat was, the narrow wheel base, the good sized basket, the multi back positions, the size it folds down to, the reverse handle and the price. It seemed perfect, but then I read a stack of reviews that all say the wheels are dodgy and the stroller only lasts 5 months and it's difficult to turn with the weight of a child in the seat.

I am so disappointed because it looked perfect and now I can't find a stroller that I like.

Can anyone recommend something that would be a better alternative but has similar features?

I can't recommend another pram but just wanted to let you know from my experience to stay away from the Steelcraft Enigma. I loved everything you loved about it and then I found it was really hard to steer with a bub in it. It really does come down to personal preference though. I would go back to the store and have a look at similar prams and maybe google reviews on the ones you like.

Good luck with your pram hunt

I have the Steelcraft Transition and I love it.

Hi there,

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.

HTH.

Cheers, Andie

I am absolutely posistive my sister has one and she loves it. I am still green with envy, it looks great, feels great etc etc etc.
Maybe I have it wrong though, I know its steelcraft and the wheels are fine and I knw she gives the pram HEAPS of walks 'cos she has a mental dog she has to take out all the time.

We loved it & had gone to the shop intending to buy one. The sales assistant said that they had heaps returned due to wheel issues, but showed us the Love N Care Delta 2.0 which was identical, but had no wheel problems. We'e been using it for two months & I love it
