It's a bargain in comparison to its normal in-store price ~$500.
However, I as a ex-owner of a different model of the same serials, I would stay away from it as there were two fatal design flaws:
1. The front wheel mounting. Dusts get in side the axis and it's okay when dry. But if you do get them wet, well, you will be very hard to turn it. This is not that bad as you can remove the front wheels and clean them. It's just annoying.
2. The break assembly will break around half a year. It depends on how often you use the break. There is no way to workaround it. The design of the break was meant to fail: the breaks are steel clutches pulled by steel cables. That's fine. The real problems was the way the break was applied/released. Every time the break is applied/released, the cables were bent/straightened. The steel cables were thick enough, but they just could not handle repeatedly being bent and straightened. Eventually when the cables were broken, the pram would be stranded.What model did you have. Never heard an issue like this and got me worried.
snap ultra tailor made or similar. could not remember the exact model. but does not matter as the break designs are exactly the same.
it could some how depends on how often the breaks are applied/released.The first assembly broke after around half a year's use. contacted their customer service and they sent me a replacement via express post for free. cannot really complain about that. the second assembly failed more or less half a year again for the exact the same reason. this time i did not bother contacting them again and simply dumped it.
We have the snap 4 trend tailor made and have had no problems with it. Not sure if it’s designed differently to this one but ours has been a faultless workhorse.
Have been using same snap 4 Taylor made for 4 years now and have no issues.
Folding/unfolding is easily done 1 handed
Light at under 7 kg. Most prams nowadays weight over 10kg
Wheels still work and turn ok
Brakes not broken :PHave pushed it in the rain, on gravel, national parks and even sand. The wheels are worn out but still has decent grip and good for drifting
Need some car seat deals! (Legit deals, not the pretend discounts Baby Bunting always runs.)
Deal sounds alright, but honestly, I'd avoid Baby & Toddler Town unless you can pick up the item you want (and physically see it). I've had a shocking experience with their false promises of stock coming in soon/etc. for something I purchased nearly two months ago - which painfully enough is still listed on their website as being in stock and on sale… I've chased every other week and they come up with a new estimated date everytime, only for it to not show up on the date, then I call up and they say they forgot to inform me that either the shipment arrived but didn't have the item I ordered in it (??), they were waiting on a new shipment, or etc…
Rather than rehash what many other customers have experienced, just google "Baby & Toddler Town reviews" and you'll see a constant theme around their inventory management and poor customer service when you want to find out why your order never shows up.
Yep. Even started a thread on it when it got really suspicious: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/501835
Great pram, highly recommended.
But caramel handle grips & bumper bar for $25 to make it look fancier(which will be the same as other fancier snap models)
