Some days you need a baby pram that can handle packed footpaths and a boot full of groceries. Other days, getting your baby settled quickly is the main priority. Our range of baby strollers covers everything from travel and longer walks to errands.
How to Choose the Right Pram
There’s a reason there are so many different prams in Australia. What works for a parent catching trams every day can be completely different to one folding a pram in and out of the car all morning.
1. Consider your everyday routine.
If you’re mostly walking through shopping centres and narrow footpaths, a slimmer pram can make daily life easier. If your week involves parks or longer outdoor walks, look for larger wheels and extra suspension.
2. Check how it fits in your car boot.
If you drive a smaller car, pay attention to folded dimensions. Some parents prefer travel-friendly options from Milly and Coup because they’re lightweight and easy to store, while giving you enough space for nappy bags and baby essentials.
3. Choose a setup that works from birth.
Some newborn prams include a bassinet and toddler seat from the beginning, while others need add-ons later. Brands like Babybee and Bugaboo have options that start with a bassinet for your baby, then switch to a seat as your child gets older.
4. Plan for the next few years.
Even if you’re only shopping for one baby right now, it can help to think about how long you want your pram setup to last. UPPAbaby has options that can adapt over time, including configurations that hold up to three children for growing families.
5. Check the fold before you commit.
This might sound obvious but folding mechanisms can vary a lot between brands. When shopping online, pay attention to product videos, folded dimensions and parent reviews. Weight, brake placement and how easily it folds down can make a huge difference in everyday use.
How to Take Care of Your Pram
A good baby pram will be part of your family’s routine for a long time, so a little care can help it stay safe and last longer.
- Wipe fabrics regularly with mild soap and warm water.
- Check brakes and harness straps every so often to make sure everything still works properly.
- Remove dirt, sand and hair from the wheels, especially for baby strollers used frequently outdoors.
- Store your pram in a dry place to reduce wear over time.
-
Rain covers and other pram accessories provide added protection and ease of use.

FAQs
What should I look for when choosing a newborn pram?
Look for features that properly support your baby from birth, including a bassinet or fully flat recline, secure harnesses and good suspension for walks.
Which baby stroller is best for everyday use?
The best stroller is one that fits into your day. For some parents, that means lightweight and compact, while others want more storage, larger wheels or room for more than one child.
Can baby prams handle rough paths and uneven ground?
Many prams in Australia are made for a mix of everyday surfaces. Larger wheels and suspension help absorb bumps on gravel paths, grass and uneven footpaths, especially during outdoor walks.
