The time has come to pick a pram. It’s a big decision and one that every parent will likely take quite seriously. So don’t stress if you’re feeling the pram pressure and are a bit overwhelmed with how many choices there are out there.  Every year Mum Central features our Best Prams roundup for the year and for 2021 we’ve selected 11 options to suit all budgets and lifestyles.

Have a read of our top picks for 2021, including the best three-wheel strollers, four-wheel strollers, single prams, double prams and travel strollers. We’ve also featured the best prams for comfort, style, adventure and even the best second stroller for the grandparents’ house.

[mc_block_title custom_title=”Pram Buying Guide”]

Five things to consider when choosing a pram or stroller:

1. What is your budget?

$500? $2500? This makes a big difference when selecting a pram.

2. What will you be using the pram for?

Running and exercising? Basic errands? Hopping on and off public transport? Navigating through the streets or shops?

3. Where do you intend to store the pram when not in use?

In the garage, the front entrance of your apartment? Also, think about your car boot size.

4. Will you be expanding your family?

Do you need a pram that comes with a toddler board/extra seat?

5. What features matter the most to you?

The style? The compactness? The quality or the reputation of the company?

So with those five key considerations in mind … drum roll please …. let’s us show you our top pram picks for 2021!

Best for newborn + toddler: iCandy Lime 2021. Image supplied

What we love about the iCandy Lime 2021 is that it is not only compact and stylish but also ideal for expecting parents who already have a toddler or preschooler. Many toddlers won’t sit in a stroller BUT they will ride on a buggy board, which is another reason we love the iCandy Lime 2021!  It’s the only single compact pram that includes a toddler board, an all-in-one compact fold AND a large carrycot for overnight sleeping, plus the pushchair for when bub is a bit older.

This comes all packaged up in a beautiful, functional and comfortable pram. Available in Black, Charcoal and Navy, the new iCandy Lime 2021 is brand new to the stroller scene and already a show-stopper.
