I found it quite difficult to find the perfect pram, we went to the store so many times and looked on the internet a lot. I chose this pram because it is the perfect size, not too large not too small. It has a huge basket, you do not have to push too hard on the handle to lift it. You can buy it with the bassinet or just the newborn insert for $60. I recommend 100%

I was recommended this pram by Baby bunting when I was pregnant with my first baby and I am so glad they did. This pram is super easy to set up, very lightweight and great control to push through crowds and best of all it has a huge basket underneath so it fits all of your shopping in it so easily! I also purchased a Britax capsule when my Bub as a baby and was pleasantly surprised that the capsule clicks directly into the pram! Any new mums I highly recommend this pram. We are 6 months into using it and have no bad words to say about it at all.

My first impression of this pram was “wow, I can’t believe it fit in the box! When I set up the pram it looked so sturdy and full size, but it folds down into a mini size and is so light. I can lift it easily with one hand! Also I instantly noticed the very large storage space underneath to put my nappy bag etc - I’ve never seen so much space on any pram before, I can fit so many groceries in there too. Brilliant!

The instructions for set up were very easy, I almost didn’t need them for the majority of the pram setup.

The most noticeable thing for me compared to my current pram is the steering on the Strider mini - it just glides. It takes no effort to push, and is very smooth and light. I have easily carried the pram with one hand up a flight of stairs. I also love the feel of the leatherette arm/waist bar that goes across the pram, and my daughter likes to rest her feet on it and kick about.

The wheels are strong and sturdy, they seem to absorb the shock when we go for walks (bumpy ground/grass/gravel/gutters and driveways), and this is great because it doesn’t wake my baby if she’s sleeping in the reclined position. Because the pram is quite light to push even with my 9 month old in it, any bumps we encounter on our walks are easy to manoeuver over.

My baby slept in it for over an hour and a half which is a blessing because she usually doesn’t sleep in our current pram at all. The reclined position suited her so well, when I put the hood down when she was sleeping, I opened the ventilation window so I could check without her seeing me and she got some air circulation. She is very comfortable sitting and sleeping in the pram when it isn’t moving also.

My favourite features are definitely the lightness of the pram, the extreme ease of steering and the storage space underneath. You can expand the basket underneath at the front also if needed, and there are pockets at the back to keep things like bottles etc upright. I also love the ventilation flap on the hood that I can open to get some fresh air in when my daughter is sleeping. Plus I can check on her through this while we are walking without her seeing me and waking up. The pram brake has a little green signal when the brake is off, and with a tap of your foot you can put the brake on and a red signal appears. That is a little feature my mum loves when she pushes my daughter in the pram - it’s visible and easy for her to operate. My husband really likes the adjustable handle bar as he is very tall and can click it into the highest position for him so he doesn’t have to push the pram hunched over. We also use the pouch bag a lot even going on small walks, it fits so much in there that I often don’t have to take my whole nappy bag out with us, it buttons on to the push bar. There is a zip pouch on the back of the pram hood that we keep money/licences etc in when we go for quick beach walks - it’s fairly hidden from view so our valuables feel safe.

I'd give this 4.8/5 stars. If it came with a cup holder for my morning coffee that would be a bonus, apart from that I cannot fault this stroller.

This pram does all the things I would expect of a very high end luxury stroller, but the bonus is that it’s lighter, has more space underneath and is a smooth ride for parent and baby!
