Steelcraft


Yesterday we were invited to celebrate my friends childs birthday party at the zoo. I didn’t even realise that the zoo does kids birthday parties so we were all very excited to receive our invitation.

When we first arrived we walked through the Kangaroo enclosure. Mr4 and Miss3 were thrilled to be able to feed and pet the kangaroos. I was surprised at how brave they were (my children, not the kangaroos!)

I normally take a double pram out with me when we have all three children with us, knowing full well that the older two will walk and the youngest will probably want cuddles or a feed. I think its one of those Murphys-Law things – if I take it our children won’t use it; but if I don’t take it, I will wish that I had. Well, today was a ‘take-it-and-not-use-it’ kind of day. Though it still did get used to carry around my nappy bag, snacks and 4.5L of water (I don’t pack lightly!) And just as we were leaving it was also used as a shield between my husband and an emu whom was far too inquisitive for my liking!

We hadn’t visited this particular zoo before so I was dreading having a double pram incase we couldn’t get through any gates or any narrow spaces. Needless to say, the Agile Twin did not disappoint – it took us everywhere without any hassles at all. Awesome day all round.

Stay tuned for the full review of the Steelcraft Agile Twin.

What a fabulous morning and an extremely enjoyable one for this reviewer.  We’ve had the in-laws staying for a couple of weeks so decided to head into the city to take the childers to the Powerhouse Museum.  Ahh – the perfect opportunity to try out the new Steelcraft Agile Twin.  With a three year old and a four year old (as well as the baby) a double pram is always a necessity when going out and about – those little legs sure do get tired quickly.

Mr4 ran ahead with HubbyDad whilst Miss3 sat on one side of the Agile Twin with baby in the matching capsule on the otherside.  She had fallen asleep JUST as we pulled into the carpark so having the opportunity to just click the capsule into the pram was a lifesaver!

I had to get this photo – the Powerhouse museum has a collection of old-time baby products.  Pushing the Agile Twin up beside the historic baby pushchair definitely had me appreciating modern prams.

I’ve gotta say it – I’ve never really been a big Steelcraft fan.  But wow – they have really hit the nail on the head with this combo.  A double stroller that fits everywhere, independant hoods, independant recline, travel system AND tall seat backs – certainly made my day easier.  Plus there is an extra triangle in the middle of the handlebar that makes one-handed steering possible.  Yes  – I think they have thought of everything with the Agile Twin.

The fold is husband-proof as well.  I told him to look for number 1 and number 2 – the pram was in the car and he was waiting to drive home before I had even finished buckling the childers into their car seats!

This pram is my new stay-in-the-car-all-the-time pram.
