Prams & Strollers

How to choose prams & strollers in Australia

Choosing the right pram comes down to your lifestyle and where you'll use it most. If you're mainly on smooth footpaths and shopping centres, a lightweight compact model will save your back and fit easily in the boot. Planning beach trips or rough terrain? You'll want larger air-filled tyres and proper suspension. For two under two, a quality double pram is worth the investment, though they're pricier and trickier to navigate through doorways. All prams sold in Australia must meet AS/NZS 2088 safety standards, but beyond that, test the fold mechanism yourself (you'll do it one-handed while holding a baby), check if the seat reclines fully for newborns, and consider how the fabrics handle our climate. Local retailers often have floor stock to try before buying, and many Aussie parents find that spending more upfront on a full-size pram saves money if you're planning multiple children.
