Manufacturers description
Ready for your first or second child, Strider Plus is the versatile Baby Travel System for growing families. Complete with a fully adjustable second seat with its own canopy, you have the choice of carrying an infant or toddler in either seat position. While the stroller's fully reclining main seat offers infant or toddler facing you, or reversed to face the world, the second detachable Strider Plus Second Seat can seat a toddler or fully recline to suit your newborn in complete comfort. Designed with maximum stability and safety in mind, you can even remove a child from the main seat while having a child up to 15kg in the second seat, without the stroller tipping backwards.

Too big

Reviewed by: Megan from brisbane, May 04, 2011

General Review

I bought this pram because of the travel system and toddler option. When baby was first born this pram was great to push the capsule around in without having to unclip or wake up. Now that I've used the pram for a while I'm finding a few issues. I would only get this pram if you plan on doing a lot of shopping on flat ground.

Pros

Travel system as well as toddler option
Great sun protection
Very strong and sturdy
Huge storage basket
Forward and backward facing seat


Cons

Very heavy to lift
Awkward to fold and unhold (Need three hands!)
Foot brake is so stiff that you need to bend down and release it with your hand if you have sandals/flip flops on
Wheels too wide

I brought the strider plus and have had the zipper on the baskets break and the wheels are queaky. The good thing about the pram is that it has a very clever design, I chose the strider over a phil and teds due to the fact that i like to have my children facing me, but the child on top can not sit up if the extenders are in and if the extenders are not in the child down the bottom does not have enough room. The huge storage basket is fantastic. I have a side by side pram that gets through checkouts easier then the strider does due to its back wheels.

Pros

The rain cover is fantastic
Easy to lie down/sit up
Storage space


Cons

Wide wheels
Hard to manuvere
Heavy
poor suspention

Don't waste your money

General Review

I initially purchased a Phil & Ted and then sold that to purchase the Strider Plus as I thought it would be much easier to have four wheels rather than three. I've mostly used the Strider as a single pram as my son didn't want to sit in the pram after he turned three. Even as a single I find it hard to manuover at times. I have to watch where I'm going as the back wheels are very wide and you can bump into things in shopping aisles. If someone is in an aisle and your trying to get through you always have to excuse yourself to get through.

Pros

* As a single pram it's not too bad.
* I love that the shade cover extends all the way down so you can shield you bubs from the sun.
* When used as a single pram the basket underneath is very roomy and can also be accessed from the front via a zip.

Cons

* Back wheels are way too big making it hard at times to fit through aisles or move around people.
* the second seat is not easy to take off.
* It can be hard to access the baby in the second seat.
* There is not enough room for you baby bag to hang from the top bar of the pram as it hits the hood when the second seat is on.
* The second seat is quite low and when going for a walk your newborn/toddler will feel all bumps on a footpath.

i got this cos i loved the strider.
i had a 3yr and 3 month in the pram, the wheels started to "pop" on the back, this caused by using the 2nd seat...
the rain would flat in on my son and he would be soaked in 10 mins...


Pros

gr8 as single!

Cons

everything!
was hard to push.
was wider than my side by side twin pram.
rain cover doesn't cover the 2nd seat
basket couldn't be used if 2nd seat was in use.

General Review

i bought this pram for my 19 month old and newborn and it is a great pram. Very roomy for both. The fact that it comes with the UV and rain cover is a bonus. The only thing that i don't like about the pram is the wheels - they are solid and make for a very bumpy ride. We only walk on pavements and roads but still the newborn is bouncing around. If the wheels were air filled this would be an almost perfect pram!

Pros

roomy for both kids, can be a single or double, easy to take apart, comes with UV and rain cover

Cons

wheels make for a very bumpy ride
