Best Prams and Strollers of 2025
Step aside cots and pumps… one of the first big purchases any new parent makes is the pram. But if you're a first time parent, knowing where to start can feel completely overwhelming. You'll be wanting to find the best pram in Australia.
The pram you choose is so much more than just a way to get your baby around town. When you have a newborn it’s becomes your key to the outside world, providing a comfy place for adventures and walks, and nap time on the go. But the pram or stroller that you choose needs to work best for your lifestyle. For Australian parents, this can mean a compact or lightweight stroller for navigating cafes and busses and trains. Or even just something small enough to fit into a small car boot! Or perhaps you live in a suburb, or regional area without footpaths? You’ll need something sturdy with suspension for a maximum comfort off road.
Perhaps you have more than one child or are planning for two children (or more!) And every parent wants something that looks good, and handles like a high-end sports car. These are all things that you’ll need to consider when choosing your pram.
Our guide includes expert-tested, parent-loved prams for 2025, spanning style, functionality, and versatility, and includes everything from compact travel strollers to high-end travel systems.
How to Choose the Right Pram for Your Lifestyle
Before diving into our top pram choices, here’s what you need to consider.
Lifestyle & terrain
Are you a city dweller with sealed paths everywhere you walk, or live in a small apartment? Will you have limited storage space? If so, you’ll want to opt for compact or lightweight options.
Or perhaps you love to go off road on rough terrain or unsealed paths? Think you’ll need to look at skid‑free puncture‑proof tyres, swivel wheels, and advanced suspension.
Public transport compatibility
Getting on and off public transport with a baby and a pram laden with shopping or baby products can be a nightmare. You’ll need to consider size, fold‑up ease, handle height, and weight for buses and trains. Plus things like basket access are worth considering too.
Car boot space & foldability
Some of the bigger or high-end prams on the market are brilliant for newborns, with the best overall performance and offer the stability and wide wheel base required to carry multiple children and toddlers. They offer effortless manoeuvrability, and basket storage that is perfect for shopping with the little ones (cause you can’t push a shopping trolley and a pram at the same time!) But these prams also are rarely compact so you will need to ensure that it will fit into your car before you purchase. Also worth considering options that offer a one‑handed fold, or a pram that folds flat for compact storage at home.
Single vs double (or even triple!)
You might not be thinking about a second baby just yet, but when you’re going to spend this much money on something, it really pays to consider the future. Features like integrated ride‑on board, second seat, single‑to‑double adaptability, options for taller children, and double mode matter. Also – if you’re expecting twins, you might like to consider the options to accommodate two newborns or toddlers of the same age with options for which way the baby faces.
Storage & accessories
There is nothing worse than paying a small fortune for a product, and then realising you’ll have to spend another small fortune to acquire the accessories that go with it. Look at what accessories are included. Things like cup holders, rain covers, UV shades, baby capsule compatibility (separate adaptors), adjustable handlebar options etc.
Also consider your basket size. If you’re likely to do your weekly shop with the bub, a big basket is a winner. Otherwise you’ll need to learn how to pack your pram like a pro!
Comfort & safety features
Safety first! While Australia has strict standards for our prams, you still want to consider the safety features. And of course you want a comfortable ride for bub. Upright seat, layback strollers or lie-flat options for naps should be considered, along with bassinet size for early days. Also, 5‑point harnesses, UPF50+ sunshade and even insect covers can keep your little one comfortable while out and about.
Whether you’re after a fashionable and stylish pram, premium pram, all‑terrain pram or a budget-friendly option that offers great value, lining up your lifestyle needs with these features is the first step.
Types of prams and strollers: which one is the best for you?
All the prams have unique benefits. For beginners, here are the most common types of prams and strollers on offer:
- Full-sized prams: They’re usually the best ‘all rounders’ and are built for comfort, level terrain, and are often best suited to newborn needs with bassinet compatibility and large baskets for carting around big nappy bags.
- Compact/travel prams: Lightweight design means they’re city-ready, perfect for public transport, cafés, short trips or taking on family holidays and trips.
- Jogger prams: These are best for active parents who love to bushwalk, or explore unsealed paths in parks. Also ideal if you live in areas with uneven terrain.
- Double prams: For multiple births you’ll need a double stroller; but they’re also useful for siblings or families planning another bub. It’s a great way to future-proof your pram purchase.
- Travel systems: Car capsule compatibility means you can click your casule straight into the pram without having to wake your sleeping beauty. Plus travel systems have different bassinet or seat options.

Essential Pram Features to Consider
When choosing the perfect pram, look for those features that will make your life easier. A five-point safety harness is essential, as is a reclining or layback seat that supports naps on the go. For newborns, a seat that reclines fully flat or a lie-flat bassinet is a must. A reversible seat is a standout feature of any pram, and gives you the option to face baby towards you in the early days which keeps them happy. Sometimes they just want to see your gorgeous face. Then when they get a bit older (and bored of your face) you can face them outward to see the world.
Swivel front wheels and hi-tech suspension can make a big difference in terms of effortless manoeuvrability, especially on bumpy roads or narrow paths. If you have limited space, look for a pram with ergonomic design, and simple folding mechanisms that can fit neatly into your car. A big, easy-access basket is ideal for nappy bags, groceries and everything else you might shove in there (half eaten sandwiches, tissues and toys!) Adjustable or an extendable handle will mean that both parents (and grandparents or carers) of different heights can push the pram without straining their necks or backs. And lastly, for families with older siblings, a ride-on board or second seat can be a lifesaver.
Budget-Friendly Prams That Don’t Compromise on Quality
If you’re working within a budget (aren’t we all…), you don’t have to sacrifice quality. You really don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a good quality pram. Prams like the Milly & Coup Milo² and Love N Care NEO offer a fantastic balance of affordability and premium features. There might be smaller compromises on the accessories or inclusions, but the overall performance and comfort still make these models excellent value for money. You really just need a pram that grow with your child without stretching your wallet. There will always be other things to spend your money on… (like adorable outfits for your new baby, or copious amounts of coffee for your sleep deprived brain).
Where to Test and Buy the Best Prams in Australia
Before you go and test prams, make sure you’ve done your research and check out sales and pricing. You can of course rely on online reviews, but it’s also worthwhile going into a baby store to road-test and check out each of the prams on your shortlist. You can get a feel for how they hand and fold. Head to major baby retailers or independent stores, and you can check out other prams to see what works best for you. Staff can help you understand the finer details and demonstrate how to operate each option. You might even find a few hidden gems you hadn’t considered before.
Some other prams that we didn’t road-test, that are popular include:
- Redsbaby Nuvo Pram
- Silver Cross Wave
- Bugaboo Fox
Conclusion
Even though it’s probably one of the most expensive items you’ll purchase, picking your first pram should be fun! It will become your keys to the outside world and adventure. A little home on wheels for your bub. The perfect pram isn’t just about features – it’s about finding the right fit for your family. Think about where you’ll use it most, how much space you have, and whether you’re planning for more children down the track.
There are also some seriously awesome looking prams out there. From stylish city strollers like the Stokke YOYO³, to adaptable all-rounders like the Babybee Juno, to budget-friendly options like the Milly & Coup Milo², there’s something for every kind of family. And whether you’re conquering getting back into jogging with the Edwards & Co Oscar M2 or planning ahead with the Love N Care NEO, these prams offer the comfort, performance and flexibility to grow with you.
Because the best pram isn’t just about getting from place to place – it’s about enjoying the ride.
