Hot Tips for buying a pram
Before we get into our best prams in Australia roundup, let’s take a look at some of the things to consider when shopping for your perfect pram match.
- MONEY TALKS: The first thing you will want to decide on is the budget. Baby stuff costs A LOT and prams vary in pricing. For many new parents, the pram is going to be the most expensive purchase they make but it doesn’t have to be. It’s entirely up to you when it comes to your budget but we will suggest one thing – make sure you and your partner are on the same page, money-wise!
- SPACE & STORAGE: One of the biggest features for new parents is the size of the stroller and how easily it can be squeezed into the back of a car or stored somewhere in the garage. If space is an issue, compactness is going to matter.
- RUN, WALK, STROLL: How you plan to use your pram will also be a big decision-maker. If you’re looking for something that goes the distance, features like excellent suspension and puncture-proof tyres are a must. If you want to jog, a three-wheel stroller is your best bet.
- ONE KID OR MANY? You may be shopping for one today, but what about three years from now? Many families love the fact that many prams nowadays have options to add a toddler seat, buggy board or other older-child option.
- OH, THE PLACES YOU’LL GO! Another thing to consider is if you want a stroller that’s easy to travel with. Travel strollers have come a long way and make a great option for city living, especially hopping off trains, buses, etc.
- YOUR MUST-HAVE LIST: Finally, think about the features that REALLY matter to you. Functionality? Looks? Space-saving? The ability to go from single to double? We’ve got prams that tick all these boxes, and more. So the only question that remains is, which one is right for you? Let’s find out, shall we?

The Baccani Lusso Double pram also comes with the most compact folding system in the market for a double pram, and the first water-resistant canopy introduced to the market.

We love how the Milo2 stroller packs so much goodness into such a small package, including an extra-large basket for grocery day and premium fabrics for a fraction of the cost of most high-end prams. Great value indeed!
Milo2 boosts a best-in-class fold and is the only one of the strollers on the market that allows you to fold the pram with the seat in either the forward or reverse direction. It also touts an effortless push – you can easily push with just one hand (great for when you need to carry a coffee in the other). Milo2 weighs only 10kg too so it’s easy to fold and lift, plus it comes with a newborn stroller seat or you can pick up a bassinet (In the Stroller + Bassinet Set).
But perhaps the best thing about Milo2 is that it also comes with $300 worth of free accessories including a handlebar bag, reversible seat liner, infant support set, UV cover, belly bar and harness cover. You can also “pimp” your pram for an additional $89.99 thanks to Milo2’s unique coloured/patterned sets. It’s mini but mighty!
