Cruiser

Absolutely love it! Had a few different prams already, and a reversible car seat. I didn't want to constantly disturb my newborn getting her in and out of the car harness (and in and out in the cold) So I looked into the infant carrier / capsules. Which led me to the Cruiser system.

I was a bit worried with all the negative reviews relating to the Strider systems, but glad I took a chance, as the Cruiser (although the cheaper version) seems to be better in many respects. Light weight, I can get it out of the car with one hand. Easy to operate. (yes a little bulky - wide, but I have a station wagon, so that's not an issue) 

I have taken it everywhere even my local little fruit and veg shop and had no trouble getting through checkouts etc, to my knowledge it is 10 cm narrower than the strider. I can easily steer it around with one hand when required and it has a really small turning circle which makes manuevering easy. Large shopping basket underneath, which is easy to access.

The best feature is the optional Infant Carrier, which easily pops in and out of the car and onto the pram. I can get out and about with multiple stops without waking my little girl.

Pros:
Lightweight
Easy to operate
Convenience - capsule
Flexibility
Large Basket
Steers well
All terrain
The list goes on!

Cons:
(None really in my opinion at the moment - although my considerations for others as follows)
Unlike the Strider, it won't take 2 seats (if required down the track)
No cup holder (easily fixed!)
Bulky (smaller cars might struggle)
Regular seat does not lie flat for newborns - but we use it with the infant carrier and bassinet options, so this is not an issue.

When we first got this pram out of the box we thought - we have we gotten ourselves in too! It ooked so hard to use, but in actual fact it was very easy and straight forward. The capsule attachment is great, and the bassinet which comes with the pram can be forward or rear facing, and can recline to different postitions. The basket down below is just big enough.

Downside is there is no toddler attachment, but not something i need to worry about just yet. It is also quite bulky when folded down, just fis into th back of my sedan.

Also my pram has developed a squeek, but Im sure this is an easy fix :)

This pram did everything i wanted it do to apart from laying flat (i had a tummy sleeper and fold with seat in.

I also had to fit it in my boot like a jigsaw puzzle. Folding and unfolding was difficult at times.

Great/awesome/quality/cost effective first pram otherwise

I bought  steelcaft cruiser from target for $299 and  for us it was very expensive . I found it a bit difficult to assemble and overall i found the pram a bit heavy and it use to take a lot of space in the car.  

I was happy with the basket that is under the pram as it use to store all the essential baby stuff ( wipes, diaper, blanket, tissues etc ) and my water bottle too.

I was happy with seat arrangement which allows us to keep the baby seat facing us or in the opposite direction. Well it s a nice system but i feel it would have been easier if we could change the direction of the handle. It was an extra work to lift up the seat and fix it in other direction.

The pram is easy to move around  and has a small  window on  half sunshade  so that child  can look at us and can make an eye contact.

Rain cover is also good and does its job well.

somethings are missing like a cup/bottle holder and a full sunshade...

overall i found the pram an expensive one but it does its job well.

I admired this pram for a long while during my pregnancy with my daughter, about a month or so after she was born i ended up getting it but unfortunately it didn't fit in my poor little car!

This pram is a little tricky to put up but once learned is as easy as pie, it is nice & high so bub is easily accessible, it has a peek-a-boo window on the sun shade so you always know what bub is doing, It is nice and comfortable for older bubs although we used a head support for our newbie, it pushes well and on most terrains.

I have found it to be an amazing travel system and a lifesave with the little ones. It is a bit hard to fold up and down to start with but once you get the hang of it, it is very easy. It has a large basket to store all your shopping and baby items in and the basket is all very easy to get to.

I have the travel system which includes the cruiser pram and capsule. The capsule is great for transporting a sleeping baby from car to pram and back again. I also love how when in seat mode you can have baby facing you or they can face the world around them. It comes with a wet weather cover but i have not had to use this yet.

Cons:

- It is hard to start to put up and down to start with but once you have done it a few times it is very easy.

- It doesnt have a cup holder, but i have just brought the jolly jumber universal cup hols which you can attach.

Pros:

-Easy to stear and move around

- Light weight, which makes it easy to get into the car.

- Capsule attachment is great for the newborns.

- Overall a great looking pram.
