Do you have?

What do you love about it? What do you dislike?

We are considering upgrading to a steelcraft strider 4 but I thought I might ask what people think of the pram they are.

So I don't think they have those in the US, so I googled it and it looks almost identical to my Vista. It's about in the same price range too, so I wonder if they are associated somehow?

I have a 2010 UPPAbaby Vista (UPPAbaby)
I LOVE that thing. It's got a really big basket, I have used the crap out of it. I am a review freak and the Vista always gets really awesome reviews and wins awards. You can even change the color if you want with a fabric swap kit.

I also have a 2011 BOB Revolution SE for running/outdoors. (Strollers and Trailers from BOB. Find your freedom with our innovative BOB Strollers and BOB Trailers | BOBgear)
SE = Sports Edition

Then I have a 2010 UPPAbaby G-LUXE stroller. It's just an umbrella stroller, I use it mostly in the airport for layovers or just little quick outings.

I know some people don't use their strollers a lot so a lot of the features aren't important, but I wanted something that would last. There's not anything I would change about any of them, I seriously love them all. I just wish the Vista came in pink, lol

I'm still using the Graco Tourister that came with the car seat and travel system. I love the thing. It's solid and big, but those are the reasons I like it. I have a cheapy umbrella stroller that I use for the dr's office. The elevator is too tiny and the exam rooms are too tiny for the big one. No plans to replace it, though from months 5 til 10 I often wished I had one of the prams that she could lay/sit in and look at me instead of everywhere else. Now she's too busy - she HAS to look at everything around her.

we have a Graco we use --- it's way big for my car. I got it brand new for free though (with the car seat) as part of a rewards program at my job (yes they had a stroller as an option).
We also have a MacLaren triumph. Love this ..super easy to manouver.

We have a BOB Revolution that we use for everything (zoo, art festival, walking to the park). I love the smooth ride and turning ability. Also, I love that it rolls so easily over everything. You don't really have to pick it up to go over a curb, you can roll it up there cause the tires are big. Also, it works in the grass too.

Downside is that it's a big stroller. I would not recommend just going on little outings with it/shopping in a small store with it (although at bigger malls it's fine). But we use an infant carrier for those things anyway so that part doesn't matter to us.

I have the strider 3 and love it because even though it's huge, it's really compact. It handles really well, like I can be carrying Noah and pushing one handed and it goes the way I want (not all do that!!) and it's super comfy. I bought a cheap stroller from Target recently (the red ones with 2 handles you see them everywhere) and Luca hates it because it's not comfortable for him.
If you are having another kid anytime soon I would consider the strider plus so you can get the second seat if necessary.
