Skippy Strada
Verified115 reviews
We so impressed with our Skippy Strada 2! We needed something lightweight and practical for our upcoming trip with our twins, and they have been perfect! We love that they lie completely flat, how lightweight they are, and how easy they are to flick open and pack back down. They’re going to make travelling with twins so much easier! We also love supporting local small businesses, so it’s a win all around. Highly recommend! Show details
I purchased this one as a travel stroller as it is advertised as light weight and able to go into the overhead cabin but now it’s become our regular stroller as well! I love the little details like the peekaboo window having a magnet to keep in place when closed, the padded seat area so your bubba is nice and comfortable and the harness that is… Read more · 1
very safe and not restrictive as my daughter HATES anything remotely restrictive (such as the high chair lol). I do kind of wish I got the other colour as black is kind of boring but I enjoy the lovely indigenous patterns on the air mesh cover. I can’t wait to use this for all our overseas travel and make some great memories with it!

Compact and great for travel. Material is fantastic. Stroller carries toddler weight up to 22kg great option for growing babies to reuse stroller. Very easy to maneuver. Show details · 1
Pros: Compact, quality is good compared to price, folding and unfolding is easy. Cons: Could bit wider, belly bar removal and installation can be improved. Show details
Best pram ever! Definitely worth the purchase! The accessories also are amazing!
The pram is ideal for a young baby with its parent facing option and so easy to change to world facing when needed. Easy to use and sturdily made. Show details
Pram is good communication and ordering with the company had been good although not as small as I would have liked and the pram is annoying to fold down I'm also a little worried about how it's going to hold up once my daughter gets bigger Show details
Love this pram! The 360 swivel is my favourite feature as I can put my capsule in facing me Show details
In-depth reviews
I love this pram, we bought it to keep in the car and use for travel and for when we go places that are a bit more cramped and would be a squeeze with our much larger I Candy Peach. The main selling points for the Strada is that it has so many features for such a compact travel pram. The biggest ones being that it can be used parent facing, I… Read more
don't like the idea of my baby facing out towards strangers especially when we are using for busy areas with lots of people that require moveability, it also has the option to have it lie completely flat so our daughter can have a nap which she quite often does while we are out and about, it folds easily and is not too heavy fitting behind the drivers seat in the passenger footwell and the basket is still a decent size underneath for a bag or two.
It has a bumper bar to attach toys, or our daughter likes putting her feet on it. The canopy is very big so it keeps the sun off her.
The only things I didn't like is that the fabric and stitching does not feel or look of a premium quality, however for the price and all the features you get this is totally worth it, we even picked ours up as an ex demo model for $250 and you would never think it was a demo model.
Pros: - Only stroller in the Australian market that can forward and rearward face. This itself deserves a lot of credit as it is very useful for parents who need a rearward facing pram that fits in a smaller car / smaller unit / smaller budget. - The quality is pretty decent. - Handling wise, the stroller feels pretty stable - but there is one… Read more · 1
negative point, see below, regarding its manoeuvrability.
- Underchair basket is pretty big and easy to access.
- The back of the chair can be unzipped to allow for a cross breeze/air flow.
Cons: - Despite the stable handling, the stroller is not very nimble (e.g. not easy to turn), which might be caused by the small rear wheels that are the same sized as the front wheels.
- At the time of purchase, the website said it came with a strap, which it did not. This is potentially misleading conduct under the Australian Consumer Law. However, when Skippy were contacted, they acknowledged their error and offered to remedy this by sending a travel bag at their cost. They should be commended for this.
- The manual says that the maximum weight for the basket stoarge is 6kg; whereas the website at the time of purchase says 8kg. Again, this is potentially misleading conduct under the ACL. They need to put in some work on getting their facts straight...
Indifferent points: - The stroller weight is advertised as 8.8kg, this is on the heavier side for travel sized prams. That said, the heavier weight might be attributable to the forward\nearward facing chair, so you can't really complain.
- I would have liked it if the back of the chair had a small pocket for bits and pieces.
- The stroller has an automatic fold function, which is great, but you still need to fold the seat first before you can collapse the stroller.
Seems sturdy, annoying customer support, talks over you – Order #1847 Now lets see if i get cashback $30 cash back? Where? Click bait if you ask me. Companies make it so hard to redeem what is promised to you so you'll just give up and forget about it. Hate this scammy tactic. Seems sturdy so far, didn't like the zips at the back of the pram I wouldn't open and close them too much it seems you have to… Read more
force them shut which I can see breaking the zip in the future, other than that I don't see any other issues with it. Bit of elbow grease needed to open and shut but most people should be ok. All up, above average pram.
19th Jan 2025 Some guy calls me today about my negative review asking me to take it down, I proceed to explain why I wrote this review but he won't let me talk, speaks over me twice so I tell him "if your not going to let me speak I'm just going to hang up the phone", again he spoke over me, I hung up, he tries to call back, I reject his call.
1. I explained to him my family has been in business for 13+ years, this is not how you handle negative reviews. He didn't want to hear my points, he only wanted to talk.
2. My main issue in the first place was that, they make it so easy with scanning the code on the box to give them a positive review but they aren't very clear on how to receive cash back, instead they make you run around for it, like many other companies. How was I supposed to know I have to quote my order number to receive my cash back? Where does it say that? I see it nowhere, the process should be clear and easy, there should be a seperate box for your order number or something, they should figure that part out. Not even on the box does it state you need to leave your order number. Picture attached.
Personally, if the guy who called me listened to my points I would have come back here and deleted this post because of good customer service, but instead he didn't listen to what I was trying to tell him and he frustrated me spoke over me myltioke times and was pushy, calling me on a Sunday afternoon when he should realise I've just had a baby, don't call me on the weekend, silly man.
Next time instead of directly asking someone to delete their review, perhaps ask them, " what would it take to change your review" or "what can we do to satisfy you"
If the request is reasonable, you should do it.
Now lets see if I get my cash back.
Lol, just saw the place to put invoice number, but you see, it's optional to fill it in, so I didn't. And it wasn't clear to me why I should write it, It should state, "order number for your cash back" or something similar.
Guys, consider this review a favour, I was going to tell you worker this today when he called, but he couldn't shut his mouth for 2 seconds to hear me speak. And so he has motivated me to write this lengthy review. Lesson learnt. Good day.

We've bought the Strada to use as our secondary pram to the Lusso when I've only got one kid with me. The straps and harness of the Strada are quick to adjust so it's easy to change between kids - no feeding straps through the seat, the strap height slides up and down from front of seat. Light and easy to manoeuvre, feels quite zippy though we… Read more · 1
haven't gone off road yet. My toddler likes the canopy and will pull it down herself and say it's "dark". It folds up really small which would be good for travel, but also good for storing at home filling with baby and toddler things. Also love the new colour of the Strada, nice to have something other than black.
Purchased as a travel pram and to fit into a smaller car as my larger pram was taking up the whole boot space. Very impressed with the size and ease of fold. I am using the newborn insert with the pram and it it's comfortable for my four month old. Very impressed overall with the stroller particularly given the price. Show details · 1
Absolutely love our Slippy Steady 2! The delivery was super fast and it was so easy to assemble. My daughter seems really comfortable and happy sitting in it, and it’s so simple to strap her in. It’s also really easy to put up and fold back down, which is exactly what I was looking for. I can already tell it’s going to make travelling so much easier and will be amazing for our upcoming trip. Highly recommend! Show details · 1
Negative reviews
The three stars are for the product itself, it’s a great stroller and I loved that unlike most strollers/travel prams you can choose whether to face your baby towards you or outwards which was a lifesaver at busy spots where we travelled. I also liked the lay flat option which again most strollers don’t have. However, even though it’s more… Read more
compact than a standard pram we were not allowed to take it on the flight with either Qantas or Virgin despite being in business class and having only that and a backpack to take onboard. In Sydney they allowed us to leave it at the gate (was then checked in - so we had to carry our baby to luggage claim), but in Brisbane we were forced to take it to ‘oversized’ and had to carry our child to the gate. So if you’re looking for a compact travel pram this is not it unfortunately. It’s such a shame as the product is good, but domestically we found that it could not be taken onboard as it’s too wide. Unsure if this would be an issue on international flights, but it was for domestic.
Thank you for your honest review. Acceptance for overheads may… Read more
Nice pram – The strada is a nice looking pram. A little Gardner to work out than other travel prams but still pretty simple. Love that it can rotate without having to take the seat off completely! My only issue (this has nothing to do with the pram itself), is the delivery. The courier delivered the pram over a week after the estimated delivery date, which… Read more
left me pramless. Another minor inconvenience is that the liner is white which seems a bit silly for messy babies, however I just flipped it over and used the other side which is black.
Thank you for sharing your honest experience. We are… Read more
Larger than other travel prams – I wouldn’t describe this as a compact travel pram and would be extremely shocked if it was allowed in overhead luggage lockers. We’ve use other compact brands in the past and they’ve been half the size and very light weight - this isn’t that. We have limited car space and wanted a small pram (other compacts have fit behind passengers seat) the… Read more
Strada still takes up a lot of room which is disappointing. It’s closer in size to a regular pram than other compact models. It’ll be great for newborn phase and parent facing though. The swivel seat is cool but not recommended with baby in so really doesn’t benefit me. Pram does the job overall but the size is unfortunate and feel like I’ve wasted money for the short time baby faces me.

Excellent manoeuvrability, very lightweight, very easy to fold up and only slightly harder to unfold (still easy!) This is a perfect travel pram, and after testing it today, I am sure it will prove useful on our upcoming domestic flight. Show details · 1
Love it! So lightweight and very compact when folded, yet very sturdy and stylish. We purchased it for our upcoming overseas holiday and can’t wait to use it. This is the second time we’ve purchased from Skippy. We were already obsessed with the Mate and how easy it was to use for our day-to-day strolls. Highly recommend exploring their range. One very happy customer! ❤️ Show reply
Already knew I’d love this pram as I previously brought the Lusso with my first child. It has exceeded my expectations, I love everything about it. You won’t regret this purchase. It moves so freely, very easy to open and close. I love how compact it is, so easy to take along anywhere. Show details · 1

The Strada is perfect! Lightweight and so easy to fold I wish I had it when my other children were little. I was sold on the reverse facing seat because no other brands had this feature in this price point. Show details
Black Friday WIN! What a fantastic pram! We have limited boot space this is perfect! And for such a compact pram it is so easy to fold. The swivel chair is such a great feature... I WISH I had this with my other two boys but I guess 3rd times a charm.. Bring on all the summer outings.
Definitely 5 stars. Absolutely amazing pram. I am so in love. My kids Absolutely love how comfortable it is. I love how you can have the seat facing out or towards you. The uv cover, rain cover and carry bag is next level. So light weight and compact. I highly recommend skippy and its prams. I also have the lusso gen2. I have recommended these prams to my family and friends and anyone I meet Show details

An excellent travel pram overall. I love the 360 seat turn which is impossible to find in a travel pram! Easy to fold/unfold and my 1 year old seems comfy. Only negatives are the clip to unfold is hard to see and reach, and also the seat recline mechanism is hard to put back into upright position with baby in the pram. Other than that I really like it!

I am the owner of the skippy lasso (which I love) and now my little man is 6 months old and can sit up, I was looking for something a bit more compact to travel with so I looked no further than the skippy strada travel pram. To say I am impressed in an understatement!! It’s light, easy to fold up and down and easy to push. I also love that I can… Read more · 1
easily rotate the seat to my preferred view. For its size, the basket is great and holds a decent amount. The buckle is easy to do up and undo and the seat is very easy to recline using the thread mechanism. If you’re not sure, take this as your sign to buy the travel pram - you won’t be disappointed!
Fast delivery. We haven't used it travelling yet, absolutely love how easy it is to fold up and unfold. Its so good! The only thing that our other brand pram has that is better is the wheels being more durable. Show details
The perfect pram. Easy fold and small size once folded. The reverse feature makes it a winner. I’ve had many large and compact prams and this one is my favourite. Show details
