Steelcraft Agile Stroller question

I'm pretty sure these stroller are pretty new to the market, anyway wondering if anyone has one and how they like it??

The reason i am looking at this one is because it needs to accomodate our 2.5yr old who is 15kg for a trip we are doing next month, alot of strollers look like they would just buckle under the pressure :o Then with bub no 3 due in November thought it might be a lighter option to our current P&T vibe we have already. It don't want to spend a whole heap on another pram the P&T already cost $900 originally to buy. I want something that has some quality about it without the huge price tag.

Any feedback would be great :)

We're getting the Baby Jogger City Mini, which the Agile was VERY closely copied from. The Agile has a couple of small things different, but it's almost the same (in fact I heard there was lawsuits involved because it was such a copy hehe).

I'm only small so I really wanted something light and easy to fold up when I'm on my own - which is the City Mini. You just pull the strap on the seat under baby's bum, and it folds up in half by itself. Apparently it handles a bit more smoothly than the Agile too.

i was just looking at this pram on sunday!!
i was looking at them online also just before they were released too, i think they are quite alright, they are very roomy and spacious and i also seen anbother one with the capsule attached and it was awesome the shunshades actually meet up so no prying eyes or bugs can annoy the bubs..
one thing i didnt like is it being so low, i dont know if it was cause i used to my bugaboo, and i just had expectations they should all be tall lol..
i pushed it around and it was great also, i cant fault it, apart from the low aspect..
The price is great right now also, if you have a baby kingdom or baby bunting, they are having huge specials right now.. very much worth the trip to a baby shop i say lol..

Okay, now you've got me looking at the Agile again. Ohhhh, I was so sure about the BJ hahah. I really like the shape of the Agile though. Hmmmm. Gonna go look at them both in the shop again today. I'm thinking I'll change to the Agile now haha.

Went and checked it out today, and I'm sold. It's super similar to the City Mini, but a bit more padded and squishy, had wider space for baby without the wheelbase being wider but just seemed more sturdy and nicer.

I'm so excited!! Now to wait the 20 weeks to have something to put in it! hahaha

Reviving this thread :) We have started looking at prams and I think this is the best one DP and I can agree on. (I hate the 3 wheeler ones) so by the looks of it, so far its a well liked pram but if anyone else has anything else to add I'll be happy to hear it. I liked: The size, it's big, not that heavy and 1 handed fold. It has a capsule and it's fairly reasonably priced. Can I ask what you paid for it and if you got the capsule? We can get the pram and capsule for $582 but it's only on special til Thursday so we would have to layby by then..

Hey. Recommended retail I believe it's $399.95, we found ours online for $339.99. We didn't get the bassinette/capsule addon thing - #1 extra expensive, #2 I don't think it'll bother me that much. As a new Mum I'm sure I'll be stopping to peek at baby every few seconds and check it's okay anyway, regardless of which way it's facing. But yeah, didn't wanna spend the money for how short a time we'd use it - not long before they're wanting to be sitting up a bit to see the world. I'll be fine with it :)
