We have one too, and I tried it out with my niece on Christmas Day. The thing I noticed was that the wheels seem quite close together and I couldn't walk properly? Found it easier to walk beside and steer with one hand.

However, I still think it was our best choice for now, love the reversible handle, I like how flat it lies for a newborn, and the huge tray underneath is great. I don't do a lot of running, so not worried about the "trolley spaz"...

I'm thinking of fashioning some kind of handle extender so I don't walk to closely to the wheels - might look a bit funny but it would then be perfect IMO. Would also leave room for a toddler board later on. We'll see.]]> Wed, 07 Jan 2009 03:21:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23508&PID=580203&title=steelcraft-enigma-4wheel-buggy#580203 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23508&PID=579670&title=steelcraft-enigma-4wheel-buggy#579670 Author: BugTeeny

Yup - I have one!

I have a love/hate relationship with it.

It's great when we're out and about - really comfy for Hannah to be fed in and to snooze if we're out later than expected. Great sun shade.

It's really easy to fold (can do it whilst holding Hannah on one hip), but is quite cumbersome if lifting onto bus/into boot (not the lightest of things, either).

I can't run with it, as the wheels go weird (think supermarket trolley spazz-out).
But it's got a roomy tray underneath - will fit my nappy bag and rain cover and a few groceries.
And the satchel on the back of the hood is really handy, too.

*edited to add - I do love the reverseable handle, too. Quick flick of the wrist (and changing the locks on the wheels to suit directional change) and I can see Hannah, or she can see the world

The only thing I would say (as Ive been there, done that) .. is

Look for one that you can use when number two comes around, it becomes an expensive hassle to upgrade when you have another (especially if you drop to one income).

I didnt even think about number two when we bought our first pram (which I loved) .. then womble came along and we had to sell it and buy another.

Not that model, but I had a steelcraft. While Jake was little it was great, but when he got to about one, I found it very difficult to manevour with the heavier weight and two or three times a walk, I found it tipping. We ended up selling for a Pedigree - that said, we did actually need another pram that could have a toddler seat for Taine.]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:46:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23508&PID=579505&title=steelcraft-enigma-4wheel-buggy#579505 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23508&PID=579456&title=steelcraft-enigma-4wheel-buggy#579456 Author: SBM

Looking at cheaper option to Mountain Buggy and from the ones we've seen so far, this is the only model we liked. Does anyone have one? I liked that it folded up easily and was quite compact. Not too many gizmos and gadgets. Anyone have any practical use of it?]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:04:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23508&PID=579456&title=steelcraft-enigma-4wheel-buggy#579456
