Prams & Carriers

For Australian suburbs, a lightweight stroller with good sun protection (UPF50+ canopy), breathable fabrics, and smooth-rolling wheels suits most families. If you're on rough terrain or beaches, look for air-filled tyres and robust suspension. Consider a compact fold if boot space is limited.

Most structured baby carriers can be used from birth with proper newborn inserts, or from around 3.5kg. Always check the specific carrier's weight and age guidelines. Ensure baby's airways remain clear and their hips are in the recommended M-position.

Premium prams often offer better build quality, smoother rides, and longer warranties. However, mid-range options have improved significantly. Consider how often you'll use it, terrain types, and how many children might use it. Sometimes a great deal on a premium brand is the best of both worlds.
