The best pram in Australia for 2026 is the one that matches how you'll actually use it: a full-size pram with a bassinet for newborn walks and naps, a single-to-double pram if you're planning a sibling, or a compact stroller if you travel or live in the city. Below are our team's top picks from the prams currently in stock at Baby Little Planet, with the features that matter taken straight from each product's specifications.
Every family is different, so treat this as a shortlist. You can browse the full prams and strollers range, compare pram bundles, or come and push a few in our Hoppers Crossing store before you decide.
How to choose the right pram
Before comparing brands, work through these questions. They narrow the field quickly.
- Newborn option: a bassinet (carrycot) or a true lie-flat seat lets your baby lie flat from birth. Some bassinets are also designed for overnight sleep.
- One child or two: single-to-double prams take a second seat or bassinet later, which can save buying a second pram.
- Where you'll push it: suspension, wheel size and tyres matter more on gravel paths and footpaths than in shopping centres.
- Fold and boot space: check the folded size against your car boot and whether the pram folds with the seat attached.
- Capsule compatibility: a travel system lets you click a baby capsule onto the frame. Capsules sold in Australia must meet AS/NZS 1754, and prams and strollers must meet AS/NZS 2088.
- Handlebar height: important if parents are very different heights.

iCandy Peach 7 – best luxury single-to-double pram
The iCandy Peach 7 Pram is suitable from birth with its carrycot, which can be used for permanent overnight sleeping, and the seat goes up to 25kg. It converts from a single to a twin or double pram with adaptors, and the included car seat adaptors turn it into a full travel system. Parents also get a one-handed fold, an aluminium frame, puncture-proof PU tyres, an integrated ride-on board and a handlebar that adjusts from 95 to 105cm.
Silver Cross Cove 2 with Carrycot – best all-terrain pram system
The Silver Cross Cove 2 Pram with Carrycot (6 piece) is built for city streets, coastal walks and country paths. Its Genius Fold carrycot folds flat with one hand while still attached to the chassis, and is suitable from birth to 6 months. The reversible pushchair seat then takes your child from birth to 22kg. A two-position elevation system brings your baby closer to you, and the pram folds with one hand and stands on its own with either the carrycot or seat attached.
Cybex Gazelle S – best for siblings and twins
The Cybex Gazelle S Stroller offers more than 20 configurations of seats, carrycots and capsules, so it adapts as your family grows. The seat lies flat from birth, and storage is a highlight: a detachable shopping basket plus the main basket give a combined 23kg capacity, with no storage lost when the second seat is fitted. It folds without removing components, even with two seats, and has Cybex's one-pull harness.
UPPAbaby Cruz V3 – best mid-size pram
If you want full-size comfort without the bulk, the UPPAbaby Cruz V3 Pram includes a reversible toddler seat with a from-birth recline and an infant insert. FlexRide suspension smooths out footpaths, the extra-large basket holds up to 13.6kg, and the UPF 50+ water-repellent canopy has a zip-out ventilation panel. It has a compact one-step fold and never-flat tyres.
Thule Urban Glide 3 – best for active families and rough paths
The Thule Urban Glide 3 Stroller is designed for all-terrain use. The swivel front wheel locks for higher speeds, there's an integrated twist hand brake, and the large rear wheels make it easy to manoeuvre. It folds compactly with one hand and stands on its own. Specs from the product page: max child weight 22kg, stroller weight 11.9kg and a 7kg cargo basket.
Britax One2 – best value single-to-tandem
The Britax One2 Stroller is a lightweight single-to-tandem stroller. The main seat converts to a lie-flat bassinet, it's travel system compatible, and the seat can face you or the world. You also get an extra-large 12kg basket, all-wheel suspension, an adjustable handlebar and an XL UPF50+ canopy. Planning for two from the start? Look at the Britax One2 + Second Seat Bundle.
Pram, stroller or travel pram?
In Australia the words are often used interchangeably. Generally, a pram lets a newborn lie flat (with a bassinet or lie-flat seat), a stroller is lighter and suits babies who can sit up, and a travel pram is an ultra-compact stroller that folds small enough for car boots and, on many models, aircraft overhead lockers. If travel is your priority, see our guide to the best travel prams in Australia or browse travel prams.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best pram for a newborn?
Look for a pram with a bassinet or carrycot so your newborn can lie flat. The UPPAbaby Vista V3, iCandy Peach 7 and Silver Cross Cove 2 all come with one, and the Vista V3 and Peach 7 bassinets are suitable for overnight sleep according to their product details.
What's the difference between a pram and a stroller?
A pram is usually designed for babies from birth to lie flat, while a stroller suits babies who can sit up and is typically lighter and more compact. Many modern prams do both, starting with a bassinet and switching to a seat.
Do prams sold in Australia have to meet a safety standard?
Yes. Prams and strollers sold in Australia must meet the mandatory standard AS/NZS 2088. Baby capsules and car seats must meet AS/NZS 1754.
When should I switch from the bassinet to the pram seat?
Follow the manufacturer's limits for your pram. For example, the Silver Cross Cove 2 carrycot is listed as suitable from birth to 6 months. Many seats, like the Cove 2's, also recline for use from birth.
Can I click a baby capsule onto my pram?
If the pram is travel system compatible, yes, usually with adaptors. The iCandy Peach 7 includes car seat adaptors, and the Cybex Gazelle S and Britax One2 are travel system compatible. Ask our team which baby capsules fit your pram.
