This Pram is incredible

This Pram is incredible. I travel a LOT. I do this with a 2 year old which is not easy. This pram is very light weight which really really helps. I love that it goes into the backpack and I then just pop it in the overhead locker of the plane as carry on luggage. When a tantrum prevails as we get off the plane, I can have the baby in the pram within seconds. Best purchase I have ever made. It folds down really small and the lightweight nature makes it great for travel. you will not be disappointed in this purchase.

This pram is light weight, compact, fits a 4 year old!

This pram is so great! We had another pram and bought this as we were about to travel overseas nearly 9 months ago. We never use the other pram anymore. This one is so light weight, convenient, easy to steer with one hand, and compact. My child was 3 when we bought it, over 20kg and at least 105cm tall and he still fits. He is now 4 and we still use it. Great to just keep in the boot of the car for when a tired kid wants to be pushed around.

Compact and does the job!

I have a child in his tricky age where he's independent enough to walk on his own but still gets tired easily. I've been wanting a compact stroller to answer my worries and Karion is a life saver! I love how compact it is when not in use, meaning I can commute with my son in tram or trains without having to worry on how we can navigate inside, I can easily carry the stroller in my back while we walk in. With the actual stroller, I've used it for 2 weeks now, most in concrete floor and it moves smoothly. I've also used this on rough roads in parks and it still works good. I am really impressed, my son weighs 15 kgs and it's just nice and comfy when I ask him. A good stroller when travelling in any scenario in my opinion.

It is more affordable than other prams

It is more affordable than other prams, you can fold out in seconds and takes little space in a car trunk! Can’t wait to take it on a plane!

Absolutely love our travel pram from Karion. Best thing ever.

Best Travel Strollers of 2024, Tested and Reviewed by Parents & Experts

Lightweight and compact, a travel stroller can help make your next family vacation a little bit easier., by jen labracio | medically reviewed by holly peretz ot.

Pinterest logo.

If the thought of trying to wrangle your full-size stroller on your next family adventure feels daunting, it’s time to consider a travel stroller.

Travel strollers make leaving home with your little one a little bit easier and a lot more convenient. Today’s travel stroller is a minimalist’s dream. Most have many of the same high-end features as traditional strollers all rolled into a compact, portable package. Many travel strollers break down to fit in the overhead bin of a plane or can be folded down quickly (and with one hand—win) and slung over your shoulder. Many parents even use them as their day-to-day stroller.

If you’re a family who’s frequently on the go, a travel stroller may be the answer to help lighten your load and simplify your life. We’re sharing Babylist parents favorites and bestselling picks to help you narrow down your search. I also added my own thoughts and picks from the countless travel strollers I’ve tested over the last decade as a mom of two and in my role as Babylist’s Gear Editor.

Nuna PIPA urbn & TRVL Travel System - Caviar - $850.00.

Nuna PIPA urbn & TRVL Travel System - Caviar

  • Baseless infant car seat, installs in seconds
  • Stroller has one-handed fold, weighs 13 pounds
  • Car seat weighs just 7 pounds

What Our Experts Say

If you know you’ll frequently be traveling while your baby is an infant, you may want to invest in a travel system (a stroller and car seat that attach to each other; here’s more on how to pick a travel system ). This combo is the best of the best, and what I wish I’d had when I was a new mom living in New York City seven years ago and didn’t own a car. It combines the ultra-popular TRVL, the brand’s first dive into the lightweight stroller market, with the urbn, a first-of-its-kind car seat.

What’s so special about a baseless car seat? Most infant car seats can be installed without a base, but require a seat belt—along with time and patience. That’s not the case with the urbn. There’s no base to worry about AND the latch system is built right into the seat’s base. I was blown away by how quick and easy this seat was to install. I pressed a button on each side and pushed to attach it directly to my vehicle’s lower anchors—that’s it. It’s about as foolproof as it gets, and especially ideal if you’ll be using your car seat on the go in rideshares or taxis. This is also our pick for best travel car seat .

As for the TRVL stroller, it’s just as great. The two standout features for me were its fold (one-handed, quick and ridiculously easy) and its compact size (it stands on its own and weighs just over 13 pounds. While not huge, the basket is large enough to hold your essentials (and a little more) and is easy to access, and the TRVL’s maneuverability is good enough that you’ll be able to steer easily with one hand.

What’s Worth Considering

The TRVL is on the pricier side and it doesn’t have a carry strap, but the maneuverability, suspension and versatility help explain the higher price point. I found it worked as a travel stroller, but also as an everyday stroller, too. There are also lots of thoughtful design details like magnetic buckles, a no-rethread harness and leatherette bumper bar and handlebar. The urbn car seat has a lower height limit than many infant car seats—not ideal, but not a huge dealbreaker, either.

Additional Specs

Best Travel Stroller for Toddlers

Bugaboo Butterfly Complete Stroller - Midnight Black - $449.00.

Bugaboo Butterfly Complete Stroller - Midnight Black

  • Four-wheel suspension for a smooth ride
  • Fast, easy fold
  • Included footrest and high seat back

There are two travel strollers I recommend again and again to families, and Bugaboo’s newest compact stroller, the Butterfly, is one of them. (The other one is the Joolz Aer+—more on that below!). This style-forward stroller is packed with thoughtful, impressive features, just like the brand’s popular full-size strollers. Two of my favorites (and there are many to choose from!) are the smooth ride and the quick, easy fold. The four-wheel suspension system means the Butterfly rides more like a traditional stroller than a compact one, a huge perk when I pushed it on anything other than smooth pavement and perfect for toting around my larger toddler. It moves and turns easily and I was able to steer it with only one hand, a huge plus. The fold is just as impressive; I also did it one-handed, and the Butterfly folds down to about the side of a small bag. (There’s also a built-in carry strap, a feature I value in any stroller, but especially one designed for travel.)

A few other things I love: it accommodates an infant car seat with adapters, so you can use it from day one, and the seat has a high back for larger kiddos and reclines almost fully for napping on the go. There’s even a footrest built in for extra comfort, another toddler-friendly feature. (My 95th-percent-in-height two-year-old still fits perfectly in it.) And the sun canopy on the Butterfly is one of the best I’ve seen of all the travel strollers on our list.

There’s not much to pick on with this stroller, minus its high price tag. The back wheels on the Butterfly are fairly close together. That setup, combined with a handle that doesn’t extend (which is the norm for compact strollers), means that if you’re on the taller side like me (5’10”), you may kick the back of the stroller while you’re walking. And although I wouldn’t consider it heavy, it is one of the heavier travel strollers on our list by about three pounds.

Best Budget Travel Stroller

Kolcraft Cloud Plus Lightweight Stroller - $79.99.

Kolcraft Cloud Plus Lightweight Stroller

  • Great value
  • Extremely light—weighs less than 12 pounds
  • Easy fold but not as compact as others on our list

If you’re not looking to spend a lot on a travel stroller or you’re a family who doesn’t travel very often, the Kolcraft Cloud Light is an excellent value for an inexpensive stroller . It boasts lots of thoughtful features, especially considering the stroller’s price. Weight is the standout here—the Cloud Plus weighs less than twelve pounds, making it one of the lightest strollers on our list. The fold is also worth a second look. Although it’s not super compact (the stroller folds in on itself, much like an umbrella stroller, rather than in a tri-fold like many other travel strollers on our list), it’s quick and easy and you can do it with one hand, a feature we always appreciate especially when we’re on the go.

Other features to note include an extendable canopy with a peekaboo window, a parent tray with two drink holders and a large storage basket (it’s one of the biggest on our list).

The seat on the Cloud Plus has multiple positions but doesn’t recline completely flat. It has a lower weight limit than many of the strollers on our list—40 pounds—and doesn’t have much in the way of suspension and shock absorption. The fold is slim but not all that compact.

And remember—this stroller is under $100. It’s not going to compare to travel strollers five times its price in suspension, maneuverability, stability or materials. But, considering the price, it’s a great option if you don’t travel all that much but want a lightweight stroller option when you do.

What Babylist Parents Say

“Easily fits in the trunk of my car.” -Cora

Best Travel Stroller for Everyday Use

UPPAbaby Minu V2 Stroller - Jake - $399.99.

UPPAbaby Minu V2 Stroller - Jake

  • Great for travel + everyday use
  • Roomy storage basket
  • Shock-absorbing suspension for a smooth ride

UPPAbaby was one of the first stroller brands to dive into the “travel stroller that can also be used as an everyday stroller” category, and the Minu does both of these things extremely well. From your own neighborhood to wherever your travel adventures take you and to everything in between, the Minu offers all the conveniences of a day-to-day stroller in a travel-friendly package. A few of my favorite features are the one-handed fold, the huge sunshade, the comfy seat with multi-position recline and a roomy, easy-access basket. The spring-action, shock-absorbing all-wheel suspension makes for a smooth ride even over bumpy terrain, so it’s a stroller you can use both in the suburbs and in a city. The Minu stands when folded and features a carry strap and a storage bag for easy transport.

As-is, the Minu works for babies three+ months; that means if you want to use it with your newborn, you’ll need to add the bassinet and adapters , which will cost you.

The Minu folds compactly but is a little bulkier than some of the other strollers on our list when it’s broken down. It’s also a little heavier, weighing in at about 17 pounds. And the seat back is on the shorter side.

“Amazing stroller. Great for travelling (fits in overhead bin), shopping (takes up minimal trunk space), walks in the park (very smooth ride, even over grass!). Has oversized canopy to block sun and folds with one hand. Bought it for travel, but use it as our primary stroller because I love it so much.” -Jessica

Best Travel Stroller for Flying

Babyzen YOYO2 Stroller Bundle - Black Frame/Olive - $449.00.

Babyzen YOYO2 Stroller Bundle - Black Frame/Olive

  • Fits in overhead bin
  • Fast, one-handed fold
  • Options to customize color, add a second rider and more

The YOYO2 was ahead of its time in the world of compact strollers and remains a parent favorite both for travel and for families looking for a smaller, lighter everyday stroller option. This compact favorite fits in the overhead bin and is the stroller of choice for many light-packing parents who don’t want to deal with the hassle (or risk) of gate-checking a stroller when they fly. It performs like a champ off the plane, too, easily steering through crowds and through narrow spaces.

There’s one other unique thing to love here—the custom options. You can change out the seat and shade fabrics with a new color pack , add a custom footmuff for cooler temps, help your older kiddo hitch a ride on the stroller board and even add a storage bag that uses wheeled support so your stroller won’t tip. With adapters that are sold separately, you can also use this stroller with some of the best infant car seats from Nuna and Maxi Cosi, among others.

The YOYO2’s fold isn’t hard, but it’s not quite as easy as some of the other travel stroller picks on our list. (There are two steps, and it takes a little getting used to.) The canopy is on the shorter side. This travel stroller does come with a rain cover, but all the other extras and custom adds will cost you. (And this stroller is on the pricier side to begin with.)

“Fits in airplane cabin. We took it on so many trips!” -Emily

Best Compact Travel Stroller

Joolz aer+ lightweight stroller - stone grey.

  • One-handed fold and compact carry
  • Comfy, contoured seat

I’ve tried a LOT of travel strollers in my day, and the Joolz Aer+ is the one I come back to again and again. Pushing it doesn’t feel much different than pushing much larger, much more expensive strollers—and that’s one of the things I love about it. The Aer+ has four-wheel suspension, a feature that’s not very common in travel strollers, so it maneuvers easily and glides smoothly even across uneven surfaces like bumpy sidewalks and dirt paths. That combined with the ridiculously easy one-handed fold, the compact design and the comfortable seat that contours to fit your child’s body makes this stroller a great choice for travel and for everyday use. (It currently occupies a permanent spot in the trunk of my car.)

The Aer+ is newborn-friendly and compatible with Nuna and Clek car seats (adapters sold separately), so it works if you want to use it from day one. The stroller folds small enough to fit in an overhead bin or to sling over your shoulder (carry strap included) and tote up and down stairs, on public transportation or anywhere else you need to go. It also comes with a rain cover and travel bag included.

The Aer+ is on the pricier side, but if you’re planning on using it for travel and for everyday, then the cost doesn’t seem as daunting. I also wish it came with a footrest instead of having to purchase one separately.

“It’s so easy to push and steer and SO easy to fold with just one hand. We use it as a travel stroller and often as our everyday stroller as well.” -Jennifer

Best Lightweight Travel Stroller

Zoe the traveler.

  • One-handed fold
  • Extended canopy, full recline

Lightweight, compact and travel-ready are the three features that come to mind when I think of The Traveler from Zoe. This aluminum-frame stroller is light enough for easy portability but durable enough to handle lots of different adventures. I love the one-handed fold and that it’s small enough to fit in an overhead bin if you don’t want to wrangle with gate checking your stroller on your next trip. There are lots of high-end features like an extended canopy, adjustable footrest and a near-flat recline. And don’t forget one of the best parts: The Traveler folds in seconds with one hand and stands on its own.

The Traveler isn’t compatible with any car seats so you won’t be able to use it with younger babies. There are also no straps or backpack included; if you want those, you’ll have to pay extra to add them on. And while it shines on smooth pavement, it’s not great on bumpy or uneven terrain.

Need a double travel stroller? Zoe’s The Twin+ is a great choice. It weighs under 20 pounds and fits through standard doorways but is comfortable and roomy enough for two children up to 45 pounds each. The fold is quick, easy and compact and the stroller is Disney-approved. And it can expand to a triple or a quad stroller with additional seats.

Best Value Travel Stroller

Baby jogger city tour 2 single stroller - jet.

  • Same one-handed fold Baby Jogger full-size strollers are known for
  • 3 ways to ride: infant car seat, bassinet or toddler seat
  • Padded seat with added depth

Travel strollers can get expensive. If you don’t want to spend $500+ on one, but you travel frequently and want a reliable option, the City Tour 2 is a great mid-priced pick.

Baby Jogger strollers are known (and loved) for their easy, one-handed fold—and this travel stroller is no exception. The City Tour 2 folds into a 19-by-23-inch rectangle and automatically locks closed. You can carry it by the handle or tuck it away in the included tote bag carryall while your little one explores. The stroller has a deep, padded seat and adjustable calf support to keep your kiddo comfortable. Plus, a huge UV 50+ sun canopy provides shade.

There’s suspension system in the frame isn’t great, making for a bit of a bumpy ride. Some parents wish the tote bag carryall had backpack straps for easier transport rather than a shoulder strap.

“I love that I can carry, open and fold it with one hand. It’s easy to maneuver and the only stroller I own. Perfect for city living!” -Amie

Best Infant Travel Stroller

Mountain buggy nano v3 stroller.

  • Comes with universal car seat adapter
  • Full recline seat
  • Ventilated backrest for airflow

The Mountain Buggy Nano stroller is the best of both worlds—a travel stroller that can also act as a travel system . Unlike most travel strollers, this one comes equipped with a universal car seat adapter so you can pop in your infant seat and be on your way with your newborn in tow. (You can also purchase the Cocoon Carrycot separately if you prefer a bassinet option.)

The Nano is lightweight and compact enough to fit easily into many carry-on luggage units on planes and trains or in a trunk, and the travel bag has a handle and strap for portability. The narrow width and front-wheel swivel makes it good for use on city streets or other tight spaces and the seat features a full recline perfect for naps.

There’s no suspension system and no peekaboo window. You need to use two hands to fold the Nano. (Although it’s still really easy.)

“It folded up so small that it fit on the plane as a carryon but it also handled really well on european cobblestone” -Nikki

Best Umbrella Stroller for Travel

Summer 3d lite convenience stroller.

  • Easy to maneuver
  • Umbrella-style fold is bulky

Umbrella strollers used to be the norm in the compact stroller category. That’s changed over the last five years or so, but if you still prefer one for travel, the Summer 3D Lite should be on your list.

The 3D Lite is a great all-around travel stroller. It’s light (about 13 pounds), features a simple, compact fold and a built-in carry strap, has a seat that lays nearly flat and boasts an ample storage basket. The ride isn’t super cushy, but it’s not all that bumpy, either. And at well under $100, it’s an incredible value for a stroller with this many great features.

Since this is an umbrella stroller, you won’t find the compact tri-fold that parents love so much about many travel strollers.

“It is so easy to travel with - we used it on a cruise ship, in various airports, and for all our daily errands.” -Jeanine

Also Worth a Look…

The world of compact travel strollers has exploded recently, flooding the market with lots of options. Here are a few other travel strollers worth a look:

  • The Bumprider Connect 3 Stroller ($599.99) is totally unique. It features a magnetic lock system that allows you to join two or more strollers together. It’s pricey, though, especially if you need more than one.
  • Evenflo Gold’s Otto ($199.99) is a competitively priced self-folding, lightweight stroller with a high weight limit (55 pounds) and a two-position adjustable footrest.
  • The Inglesina Quid ($299.00) fits in an overhead bin and offers thoughtful features like a self-standing fold, an extendable canopy and a large flap on the hood that fully retracts for ventilation on warm days. The Quid weighs in at only 13 pounds.
  • We analyzed results from Babylist’s Best Baby Products survey, which polled 6,000 Babylist users and asked them to share the baby products they love the most and why.
  • We utilized insight from the Babylist editorial team, including Gear Editor Jen LaBracio, an expert in the baby space for over six years and a mom of two who has written hundreds of baby gear guides and personally researched and tested hundreds of baby products, including many travel strollers.
  • We reviewed customer reviews from hundreds of real Babylist parents.

Some families use a traditional stroller for everything, even traveling. But having a lighter, more nimble travel stroller pays off when you really need it: for airports, narrow city sidewalks , public transportation or just to lighten the load.

Here are some of the pros and cons of using different types of strollers for travel:

  • Traditional stroller: Everyday strollers typically have convenient features like lots of storage space, cup holders and trays, and large canopies. Some may also have all-terrain wheels and accommodate an infant car seat. But they’re heavier and bulkier to fold, which makes using and storing them in tight spaces more difficult (think: narrow doorways, airplane overhead bins, small car trunks).
  • Umbrella stroller: Bare-boned and exceptionally lightweight, umbrella strollers often lack many amenities you find in traditional strollers like adjustable seats and cup holders. They have skimpy canopies, minimal cushioning and seat support and don’t fold small enough to fit in airport storage bins. You also can’t push an umbrella stroller with one hand. Umbrella strollers are good for when you occasionally need a slimmer, fast-fold stroller.
  • Travel stroller: Sometimes also called a lightweight stroller, travel strollers strike a balance between traditional and umbrella stroller styles. They’re lighter than the standard stroller, easy to fold and compact in size when collapsed. (Some travel strollers fold in half, called a square fold, while others feature a more compact tri-fold.) Travel strollers have some full-size amenities like large sun canopies and a storage basket and most even have extras like cup holders.

Figuring out the best stroller to use for travel often comes down to what type of trade-offs you want to make around budget , space and personal preference.

  • Some traditional strollers offer a compact fold that’s great for travel, but the stroller weighs a ton.
  • Umbrella strollers tend to be affordable but require two hands for pushing and only offer a vertical fold.
  • Compact travel strollers are light, portable and easy to steer but come at a cost.

Before you invest in a travel stroller, think through:

  • How often you travel
  • How much money you want to spend
  • Where you’ll be storing your stroller when it’s not in use

Also note that lots of parents find that a travel stroller can work just as well as a full-size option for everyday use; just keep in mind that unless the travel stroller you choose is compatible with an infant car seat or comes with a separate infant kit, you’ll need to wait to use the stroller until your baby is six months old and can sit up unassisted.  

A travel stroller should be easy to take with you on trips and be a comfy spot for your little one, especially since your child will probably spend more hours in it while traveling than at home. Consider these features as you research and shop:

  • Size and weight. You’re going to be lifting, carrying and storing your travel stroller often, so the stroller’s size and weight is important. Look for one that’s lightweight and manageable. Also pay attention both to the folded and unfolded size of your travel stroller. Hoping to If you’re planning on using it for an older toddler, also be sure it’s large enough to accommodate them.
  • Fold. There’s also a lot of folding and unfolding a stroller during travel, whether it’s to take it in and out of your car, stash it under a table at a restaurant or storing it in the overhead compartment of an airplane. Choose a travel stroller with a quick, easy fold, preferably one you can do one-handed.
  • Maneuverability. Not all travel strollers are created equally. Some offer much more maneuverability and a better suspension system than others; however, these features often come at a cost. Thinking through how often you’ll be using your travel stroller and what types of terrain you’ll encounter most often can be helpful in determining whether or not a more expensive stroller is worthwhile.
  • Canopy size. Most travel involves at least some, if not a lot, of outdoor time. A large canopy is essential for protecting your little one from the elements, especially the sun.
  • Comfort and convenience features. Similar to a full-size stroller, look for features that will make you and your little one more comfortable, especially while traveling. Things like an adjustable seat with a full or nearly full recline, an ample storage basket, an adjustable handlebar and easy to clean fabrics are all important. And don’t forget a built-in strap or a separate carrying case for easy transport.

Bringing a stroller with you on trips can seem daunting. How do you get it from point A to point B when you’re flying ? Will it count toward your carry-on and baggage allotment? And what if you need to use your stroller in the airport? Good news: You can pick how you want to travel with your stroller, depending on your needs. Here are the choices:

  • Check the stroller with your baggage: Some parents unload the stroller during check-in and switch to using a baby carrier through the airport instead. Pair a front carrier with a backpack-style diaper bag so your hands will be free to deal with other things (like the toys that will make your trip a breeze ). Note that if you have a large stroller, you may be required to check it as baggage anyway. This usually doesn’t count toward your baggage allotment.
  • Check the stroller at the gate: Want to use the stroller until you board the plane? You can check the stroller with the gate agent—it just needs to be tagged—and then pick it up outside the aircraft door when you arrive. (Just remember if you have a connecting flight to catch, waiting for your stroller to be placed on the jet bridge can eat up precious time.)
  • Stow the stroller on the airplane: Some travel strollers fold up so small they fit in a backpack and can be stored in an overhead bin. Having your stroller with you eliminates the hassle of waiting for it on the jet bridge or at baggage claim (or losing it).

Some other air-travel tips to keep in mind:

  • If you check the stroller with baggage, you do run the risk of damage. If you’re not using a travel stroller bag, ask the agent at check-in for a plastic bag to cover and protect it during transport.
  • If you’re taking the stroller through security, it will need to be folded and put through the X-ray machine. Don’t stuff the undercarriage basket until after security.
  • If your checked stroller doesn’t come out with the suitcases at baggage claim, check the oversized luggage area. It may have been set aside there (this may also be where your travel crib is, if you checked one).

Do you need a travel stroller bag?

How you plan to use your travel stroller will affect whether or not you need a travel stroller bag.

If you plan on flying with your stroller then you’ll probably want to use a travel stroller bag, especially if you don’t plan on stowing your stroller in the overhead compartment of the plane (either because you don’t want to or because it won’t fit). A checked stroller, even one that’s gate checked, may get tossed around quite a bit while in transit, so you’ll want a travel stroller bag to keep it protected.

If you’re not planning on flying much with your stroller or if you’re simply using your travel stroller as a more lightweight day-to-day option, then a travel stroller probably isn’t a must-have.

Some travel strollers come with a travel bag while others require you to purchase one separately, so check with your particular brand. There are generic travel stroller bags that may work, too.

Looking for the best travel strollers Australia 2023? We’ve found the 8 best travel prams to make your search easier! We’ve compared all the key features we know you’re looking for in a travel stroller – lightweight, compact, easy to fold, newborn options, extra features, as well as your budget!

Listed below in order of pricing – not necessarily preference – to make it easier for you to find your perfect travel pram.

Whether you’re planning a trip overseas or just need a compact pram for everyday adventures – hopefully one of these light strollers the right one for you!

Best travel strollers Australia 2023

NOTE: listed by price highest to lowest. RRP and market value as an approximate guide at the time of publishing – prices may vary or change over time.

*Note: All prams and strollers need to have a two-step fold mechanism – so any pram may require two hands to fold depending on your ability, hand strength and dexterity.

**In my opinion a “one hand fold” means you can fold while holding a baby and while the Edwards & Co and Easywalker Miley both have a one hand fold mechanism you need to manipulate the frame to fold.

BABYZEN YOYO2 – Customise Your Colours

best travel stroller australia 2023  babyzen yoyo2

The Babyzen Yoyo has been the most popular travel stroller for many years, however with so much competition in the travel stroller space now, they are rapidly losing their position in the market because they haven’t innovated or changed the product significantly since it was launched in 2012. Despite this, it’s still one of the most expensive options on the list.

Why choose a BABYZEN YOYO?

Overall the Babyzen Yoyo is light and compact, easy to push and offers parents a huge range of colours and accessories to customise their stroller just the way they like it. You can even replace the seat pad and hood set between children to keep your Babyzen Yoyo looking fresh.

Things to consider

The fold does take some practice, it’s fiddly and not like any other stroller you’ll have ever encountered. I’ve heard stories of people getting stuck with the YOYO at the gate boarding their plane because they forgot how to fold it. So make sure you practise before you’re under pressure!

Babyzen Yoyo Newborn Options (Sold Separately):

  • Foldable Newborn Cocoon
  • Carry Cot (remove to fold)
  • Car Capsule + Adapters (Maxi Cosi/Nuna)

Joolz Aer+ – Travel in Luxury

best travel strollers australia 2023 Joolz Aer+

Right at this moment, the Joolz Aer+ is my personal favourite travel stroller and if I had to declare ONE stroller the best travel strollers Australia 2023 this would be it. Though it’s easy for me to recommend this luxury travel stroller when it’s not my money – because premium travel strollers do come with that premium price tag. But in my opinion it’s absolutely worth it (if you can stretch the budget.)

Why Choose the Joolz Aer+?

The fold is incredibly easy – folds super compact with one hand and in one smooth motion. With some practice, you can fold to a standing position so you don’t have to bend over to the ground to pick it up.

One feature that is difficult to describe but so important is the Joolz Aer+ has the nicest “pushing experience” of any other travel sized stroller. The first time I pushed one I was genuinely surprised that the Joolz Aer/Aer+ weighs about 6kgs because it has the “presence” of a much bigger pram. It just feels solid, sturdy, well made.

The fabrics, finishes, feel, the 10 year transferrable warranty, knowing that the fabrics are made from reclaimed plastics and every Joolz pram/stroller sold they plant a tree – feels like a more premium experience.

The Joolz Aer+ in Australia doesn’t have the full newborn recline like the overseas model, so still has the somewhat awkward recline mechanism of the original Joolz Aer. 

Joolz Aer+ Newborn Options (Sold Separately):

  • Foldable Carry Cot
  • Car Capsule + Adapters (Infa Secure Adapt More)

Bugaboo Butterfly – Extend Your Bugaboo Family

best travel stroller australia 2023

Bugaboo launched the Bugaboo Butterfly last year (after discounting the Bugaboo Ant) and it is a very similar stroller to the Joolz Aer. This makes a lot of sense, they are similar brands with a similar position in the market, it makes sense that Bugaboo would be keeping an eye on what Joolz is doing to stay in line with them.

Why Choose a Bugaboo Butterfly?

I think the main reason to go for a Butterfly over a Joolz Aer would be if you’re already in the Bugaboo “family” because many of the accessories for your full-sized Bugaboo will fit the Bugaboo Butterfly – for example, the cup holder, organiser, footmuff, seat liner, phone holder, parasol and the nappy bag. As well as the Bugaboo Turtle capsule (with Butterfly adapters sold separately) HOWEVER, it seems unclear at this stage if the Bugaboo Wheeled Board will fit the Butterfly – it would be a big feature if it does for people who already own one.

While the fold is very similar to the simple one-handed fold of the Aer, the fold doesn’t lock in without some pressure applied. In all the Bugaboo videos showing folding the Butterfly, they fold the stroller to the ground before picking it up, and I’m just not sure if that’s ideal for the frame (getting scratches) or for your back (bending over that far).

Bugaboo Butterfly Newborn Options (Sold Separately):

  • Car Capsule + Adapters (Bugaboo/Nuna/Maxi Cosi)

Baby Jogger City Tour 2 – Best All-Rounder

best travel stroller australia 2023 baby jogger city tour 2

The Baby Jogger city tour 2 is one of the most popular travel strollers in Australia right now and before the release of the Joolz Aer was my personal favourite travel stroller. However the city tour 2 is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for a mid-range travel stroller (because I understand not everyone is looking to spend $650+ on a stroller!)

Why Choose the Baby Jogger City Tour 2?

If you’re looking for a lightweight, compact, easy to use, quick fold travel stroller that is also perfect for just throwing in the car for quick errands and zipping around the shops AND had a full recline for newborns or proper naps then the Baby Jogger city tour 2 is for you! It just ticks all the boxes and is available to purchase at any almost every baby store in Australia.

*The fold mechanism can be a little tricky to do with one hand for someone with limited strength or coordination in their fingers (for example if you’re looking at this for a grandparent to use). The simple solution to this – fold with two hands. Also I have made a very detailed video going step by step on how to fold and open if you are struggling.

Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Newborn Options (Sold Separately):

  • Newborn approved seat recline.
  • Carry Fold (remove to fold)
  • Car Capsule + Adapters (Baby Jogger city GO Capsule)

Redsbaby Skip – Fan Following

best travel stroller australia 2023 redsbaby skip

Redsbaby is a brand you won’t find in retailers, they are sold directly through Redsbaby themselves, which is an Australian-based company (still manufactured overseas like everyone else, but owned in Australia). And Redsbaby does seem to have a pretty solid fan base despite not appearing in regular retailers. Though you can go along to Redsbaby Demo Days in your state to have a play in person.

Why Choose a Redsbaby Skip?

The Redsbaby Skip is a bit like a more affordable Mountain Buggy Nano. In fact, if you look at the overall shape and design they do appear very similar and they have the same features. Also because Redsbaby sells directly to the consumer they can offer a bit better value for money compared to retailers.

Not being able to try before you buy is one thing, but also not having a local retailer to take your stroller to for assistance if something goes wrong would also be something I’d suggest taking into account.

Redsbaby Newborn Options:

  • Car Capsule + Adapters (Maxi Cosi)

Edwards & Co Otto – Great Value For Money

best travel stroller australia 2023 edwards & co otto

Edwards & Co Otto is another stroller that looks and feels quite a bit like a Mountain Buggy Nano, and they take it one step further by also being a New Zealand brand, just like Mountain Buggy.

Why Choose an Edwards & Co Otto?

The Edwards & Co Otto is a pretty sweet all-rounder and does offer great value for money. The recline is for newborns, one-handed fold, and the included carry bag can be towed with the rear wheels out for easy transport.

One small thing to know is you will need to take the rear wheels off the Edwards & Co if you are travelling, however for everyday use you would just leave them on when folding for the boot of your car.

Edwards & Co Otto Newborn Options:

Easywalker miley² stroller – best on a budget.

best travel stroller australia 2023 easywalker miley2

The EasyWalker Miley² is an update on the previous model – not a huge overall, but some sensible little refinements including the taller, more upright seat, little bit lighter weight, better basket access and leatherette covers on the bumper bar. 

Why Choose an EasyWalker Miley²?

If you’re not really planning to use your travel stroller for much more than travelling, the EasyWalker²  Miley will do the job. It does have a newborn recline and it is quite compact and lightweight. It will also help offset your carbon footprint from travelling as the fabrics are made from recycled plastic bottles.

It’s not strictly carry-on luggage size, so it would be wise to check with your airline before travelling. However you should be able to get the EasyWalker Miley²  to the gate, you just may not be able to get it on board with you (which personally I think is fine, you’re not using the stroller on the plane anyway)

EasyWalker Miley² Newborn Options:

  • Seat only – no capsule or cot options. 

Karion Travel Stroller – Ultra Compact & Australian Owned

best travel stroller australia 2023 karion kids travel stroller karion stroller

Karion is a new Australian brand based out of Geelong Victoria, and I have to start with saying I love puns and dad jokes so they had my attention straight away (Karion = Carry-on) I also love supporting Australian based businesses. 

Why the Karion travel stroller

Firstly – the ultra-compact fold. The sides of the Karion Travel stroller fold inward making it EXTREMELY compact. Despite the size it does have the full recline which does set it apart from other ultra compact strollers. As well as the adjustable calf support. Also I cannot get over how much I love the included carry bag – it comes with a padded backpack style bag – the Karion carry bag doubles as a handy bag to take along on day trips while travelling.

With strollers there are always compromises – the lighter and more compact a stroller is the less features it will have and the less “solid” it’ll feel when pushing. So the hood is mostly there for decoration and the recline is operated with zips. However, I think they’ve done well choosing a quality seat fabric that will have added weight. Because you can always add on a universal sun cover for extra protection. 

Karion Travel Stroller Newborn Options:

  • 6months+ only. No capsule or cot option.

How does the new Joolz Aer+ basket compare to the Butterfly? Was there any improvement there?

Hi Megan, great questions! There’s not really any drastic difference with the Aer+ basket – I believe the basket might have a slightly bigger volume but seeing the Joolz Aer and AER+ side by side I couldn’t really see a difference between the basket size.

The key updates with the Aer and Aer+ are bigger hood, update on the harness (the shoulder straps are a bit easier to use) also the new fabrics are made from recycled plastics (the Are only the Refined Black was made from recycled materials) and the belly bar (that’s sold separately) folds in with the stroller now.

Otherwise nothing huge has changed. Unfortunately Australia didn’t get the full newborn recline like the overseas models of Aer+.

I hope that helps!

This Pram is incredible

This Pram is incredible. I travel a LOT. I do this with a 2 year old which is not easy. This pram is very light weight which really really helps. I love that it goes into the backpack and I then just pop it in the overhead locker of the plane as carry on luggage. When a tantrum prevails as we get off the plane, I can have the baby in the pram within seconds. Best purchase I have ever made. It folds down really small and the lightweight nature makes it great for travel. you will not be disappointed in this purchase.

Date of experience : 19 March 2024

This pram is light weight, compact, fits a 4 year old!

This pram is so great! We had another pram and bought this as we were about to travel overseas nearly 9 months ago. We never use the other pram anymore. This one is so light weight, convenient, easy to steer with one hand, and compact. My child was 3 when we bought it, over 20kg and at least 105cm tall and he still fits. He is now 4 and we still use it. Great to just keep in the boot of the car for when a tired kid wants to be pushed around.

Date of experience : 07 March 2024

Compact and does the job!

I have a child in his tricky age where he's independent enough to walk on his own but still gets tired easily. I've been wanting a compact stroller to answer my worries and Karion is a life saver! I love how compact it is when not in use, meaning I can commute with my son in tram or trains without having to worry on how we can navigate inside, I can easily carry the stroller in my back while we walk in. With the actual stroller, I've used it for 2 weeks now, most in concrete floor and it moves smoothly. I've also used this on rough roads in parks and it still works good. I am really impressed, my son weighs 15 kgs and it's just nice and comfy when I ask him. A good stroller when travelling in any scenario in my opinion.

Date of experience : 04 February 2024

It is more affordable than other prams

It is more affordable than other prams, you can fold out in seconds and takes little space in a car trunk! Can’t wait to take it on a plane!

5 tips for buying a compact travel stroller

Choose the best travel pram or compact stroller for your holiday with our expert tips and product reviews..

two children and baby in a travel stroller waiting at airport

A compact stroller that's lightweight and easy to fold is a must when you're heading off on holiday with your little one. Some travel strollers are even small enough to take with you on the plane (meaning you can have it ready for your tiny terror as soon as you disembark). 

But which model is best for you, and do you have to spend hundreds to get a good one?

We give expert advice on how to buy your everyday pram in our pram and stroller review , but here are some tips to help you buy the best lightweight travel stroller for your holiday.

1. Weigh it up: The lighter, the better

It's a no brainer, but when you're juggling luggage, a baby and all your other travel paraphernalia, hopping on and off trains or buses, you'll want a stroller that's light and easy to carry. 

The lightest travel strollers from our tests are:

  • GB Gold Pockit Air All Terrain : 4.9kg ($379)
  • Phil & Teds Go V2 : 5.9kg ($480)
  • Mountain Buggy Nano 3.0 : 6.3kg ($599)
  • Babyzen Yoyo2 *: 6.5kg ($720)
  • Baby Jogger City Tour 2 : 6.8kg ($599)
  • Childcare Jax V2 : 7kg ($199)

*The Babyzen Yoyo2 is popular both for travel and everyday use due to its light weight (just 6.5kg). However, it failed our safety tests and poses a potential head entrapment and fall risk. Plus, when it's fully loaded, the wheels move when the parking brake is on. (Babyzen disagrees with our results but CHOICE stands by its findings.)

But check the cost

Compact models (such as the  Phil & Teds Go V2 ) are often cheaper than standard prams, but some certainly don't come in cheap when you consider that a travel stroller is often a secondary buy on top of an everyday pram. 

The Babyzen Yoyo 2 , which weighs 6.5kg, costs an eye-watering $720 – but it scores a poor 35% overall. 

Some travel strollers are so compact you can take them on the plane.

2. Check restrictions with your airline

Most strollers have to be checked in with flight attendants at the gate, but if you have a compact folding stroller, you can take it all the way to your seat (which also means you won't have to wait for it when you get off). 

You should always double check any restrictions with your airline though – some Australian domestic airlines state that carry-on sized prams count towards your carry-on luggage allowance, which won't give you a great deal leftover for your other cabin bags. 

Most airlines specify that if you're taking a travel stroller in the cabin it needs to be in a bag, and it will need to meet carry-on baggage weight and dimension criteria. 

When choosing a travel stroller, take a look at the dimensions for how small it folds up, and if it comes with accessories like a carry bag or handy strap that's a big plus as it'll be easier to lug around. 

Some strollers (such as the Baby Jogger and Edwards & Co) come with a bag, but for others (such as the GB Gold Pockit) you'll need to pay extra for a travel bag.

Shade coverage can differ between models.

3. Be sun smart

It's all well and good to buy a travel stroller that folds up into a tiny bundle, but with some models, this usually means you sacrifice things such as a generous canopy shade. Not great news if you're going to be out and about in the sunshine a lot on your trip. 

Regardless of the brand, bear in mind that you won't often get the same coverage as you do with a bigger, standard pram so plan ahead to make sure your little one is protected from the sun. 

4. Check if the stroller reclines

This is a biggie if on-the-go naps are an issue for your child. Compact strollers are not always suitable for newborns and can have limited recline options, which can be tricky if your bub likes to lie back when they have a nap. 

The ultra-compact foldable models usually have a hammock-like seat, such as the Childcare Jax V2 , and some are more conducive to comfy snoozing than others.

5. Put safety first

Look for a five-point seatbelt harness that will keep your bub safe and secure, and check our  pram and stroller reviews to ensure your model passes key safety tests. 

"When it comes to travel, many people opt for a cheap $20 stroller," says Kim Gilmour , one of CHOICE's resident pram experts.

"But past tests suggest they don't always meet our key safety requirements, have little storage or features, and may not be suitable for newborns if they don't recline. Paying a bit more can still get you a safe stroller that'll see your child from birth to toddlerhood." 

Five tips for buying a travel stroller

1. Weigh it up - the lighter the better

When juggling luggage, a baby and other travel gear, you want something that's light and easy to carry. 

If you have a compact folding stroller, you may be able to take it all the way to your seat.

Check there's adequate shade from the canopy – most travel strollers sacrifice this for compactness.

4. Check if it reclines

Compact strollers are often not suitable for newborns and may have limited recline options. 

5. Safety first

Look for a five-point seatbelt harness and see our reviews at choice.com.au/strollers to check that your model passes key safety tests.

Travelling with your tribe can be challenging! There’s already so much you have to take with you, whether you’re heading out-and-about or jetting off overseas. Fortunately travel strollers are continually being improved; lighter in weight, more compact fold, and more inclusions for better value. With so many great options though, how do you choose the right one for you and your travelling tribe? At Baby Village we know strollers! So we’ve narrowed down our top picks for the Best Travel Strollers available to help you make the decision easier. Some points you should consider are:

  • Is it for travel or a compact solution for everyday use?
  • What's the budget you have to work with?
  • If travelling, where are you going and how will you get there? Car or plane?
  • What will you be doing and what’s the weather going to be like? Do you need a rain cover?

Best Prams in Australia 2023: 17 Top Picks for Strollers and Prams

Best Prams in Australia 2023

If you’re after the best prams in Australia for 2023, you’ve come to the right place! At Mum Central, we have counted down our top picks for prams and strollers from some of the best names in the strolling business. We’re talking iCandy, Bumbleride, Baby Jogger, Edwards & Co, UPPAbaby, Babybee, Redsbaby and more.

We’ve found the best prams for growing families, the best travel strollers, the best double prams and the best value prams when on a budget. And with prices ranging from under $250 to over $2,500 , check out the top picks for best prams in Australia this year!

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?

Mum Central’s Best Prams in Australia for 2023!

What we love most about the CRUZ V2 is its streamlined look. Offering everything you want in a pram, but without weighing you down.

Oscar is Edwards & Co’s original pram and one of the best three-wheel prams out there. The Oscar M2 is their strongest model yet, with increased weight capacity in the seat and basket. Oscar M2 is known as an adventure pram so if you are after a pram for getting outdoors and one that looks good, then Oscar is your man!

With new technology, the design team has completely re-tailored the seat making it luxuriously soft and comfortable for your child. Finishing it off with a new UPF50+ DOPE dye canopy on Black Luxe gives you incredible fade resistance over the years to come, in even the harshest Australian sun.

Oscar M2 comes with a reversible seat that is suitable for newborns (with the Newborn Cushion Insert) but you can buy a Carry Cot for it too (sold separately). As it’s a three-wheel pram, Oscar M2 is also great for walks and light jogging too .

When it comes to extra-luxe prams, the iCandy range is in a class of its own. The new iCandy Peach 7 is one of the best prams of 2023, especially in terms of comfort, safety, quality, and style. It’s perfectly suited for growing families and can effortlessly convert from a single to a double or twin with the use of adapters.

The iCandy on its own comes with both a carrycot as well as a seat so it’s suitable for newborns and beyond. It’s also equipped with a new integrated Ride-on Board , ideal for older kiddies who decide their legs are “too tired” to walk.

Famous for its one-handed fold and class-leading pivot,   the Peach 7 also features an ergonomic leatherette handlebar and swivel bumper bar, plus the adjustable handlebar makes light work of adapting to various heights (great for tall partners).

Pushing an iCandy is something else too. You’ll notice the ultra-smooth ride, regardless of whether you’re pushing a newborn or a toddler, and on all terrains too. If you’re after a high-end pram, then the iCandy Peach 7 is definitely a top contender.

There’s SO much to love about the Baccani Lusso Double pram and its incredible price tag is just the beginning! This double pram comes with two seating choices – either a bassinet and seat or a seat and seat. Either way, you’re ready for a comfortable and stylish steer, whether heading to the park, shops, or anywhere else.

Designed to grow with your tot, the Baccani Lucco Double pram features a huge 15kg storage basket (the largest on the market), plus extra long seats for tall toddlers. We also love the multiple recline levels , the front and rear suspension , and the puncture-proof wheels. 

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. But perhaps what really sets the Baccani Lusso Double pram apart is the fact it comes with $250 worth of FREE accessories! This includes both black and white seat liners, UPF50+ sunshades and if you choose the bassinet option – a bonus bassinet cover and mattress. 

Edwards & Co Olive Double Stroller

PRICE: Single: $1,199 / Double: $1,498 WHERE TO BUY: Edwards & Co BEST FOR: Tandem double pram SUITABLE FROM: Newborn (with the Newborn Cushion Insert) to 22kg CARRYING CAPACITY: An incredible 54kg!

This beauty is an  adaptable four-wheel pram with luxurious, full-size seats for carrying either one or two children . It has the same footprint whether you use it as a single or double pram and boasts a super compact fold.

Olive comes with some incredibly impressive figures too – she exceeds the AS/NZS durability standard by 5 times . And with a whopping 54kg weight capacity , and you’ll soon learn why Olive is small yet mighty. 

Olive’s seats are suitable for newborns (when using the Newborn Cushion Insert) all the way to toddlers (22kg for each seat) and offers a range of configurations . Not only will it carry your precious cargo, but all their stuff too with a 10kg capacity basket.

Milly + Coup Milo2 Stroller

PRICE: $949.99 WHERE TO BUY: Milly + Coup WHAT WE LIKE: Designed by parents, for parents, to make #parentlife easier SUITABLE FROM: Newborn and up CARRYING CAPACITY: Up to 22kg

Milly+Coup-Milo2-Stroller-best-prams-in-australia

If it’s functionality you want, then it’s Milly + Coup’s Milo2 Stroller that you need. This little gem of a pram is new to the market but is already pushing its way to the top of the best prams lists. 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!

PRICE: $429 WHERE TO BUY: Maxi-Cosi WHAT WE LIKE: The perfect stroller for urban parents SUITABLE FROM: Newborn CARRYING CAPACITY: Up to four years

Maxi-Cosi-Jaya-Travel-Stroller-best-prams-in-australia

Maxi-Cosi is one of the best in baby seat safety so it comes as no surprise that the team has also designed a truly fantastic travel stroller that is suitable from birth and ideal for all sorts of daily outings . Great for trips and travel, but also designed for urban living, the new Jaya is one of the fanciest travel strollers we’ve come across.

We love how lightweight it is, but also how it’s really cosy for bub and even comes with a large storage basket – something most travel strollers don’t have. Enjoy your adventure with an easy-to-use one-second fold feature and three recline positions including a lie-flat mode which makes this stroller suitable from birth.

The Top 8 Travel Prams In Australia In 2024

Babyzen Yoyo 4

Finding the perfect prams  for babies when you're constantly on the move brings about a whole host of challenges when you become new parent, but fortunately, there’s now a new wave of  travel prams  and  compact strollers  on the scene to make life significantly easier and save your back a whole lot of pain.

Travelling with kids feels like you are taking everything but the kitchen sink with you- so to help you out we have also created the ultimate checklist for travelling with kids over  here. But which  travelling pram  is best for you?

We’ve rounded up the latest  compact travel strollers  in Australia to help you with your search for the top travel pram in Australia. These travel strollers aren't just great for babies but they are also a great toddler lightweight  stroller . Small buggies and  prams  for babies are just a taste of what we've road-tested below.

What should you look for in a travel pram?

When setting out to the best travel pram, there are a few things you need to keep in mind before making your final decision.

One of the most important features of a travelling pram is its size. Most people opt for a stroller for travel as their children grow bigger and need a less bulky mode of transport. It should be small enough to fit in the boot of the car, or in the overhead compartment on an airplane.

Buying bulky prams for travel defeats the purpose of attaining a smaller, more compact solution, as you want something you can just whip out, pop baby in, and go!

Transportability:

Now, even if your travel pram is smaller than your regular pram, it won't necessarily serve its purpose as a solution for easier travel unless it weighs less, and folds up more compactly than a regular pram.

For example, travel prams or strollers for travel should ideally fold down with one touch and should come complete with a strap to throw over your shoulder so that you're not forced to lug it around during travel.

Travel prams or strollers are also a popular option for road trips and interstate travel, as they take up far less room in your car.

When people think of travelling prams, often they picture those flimsy umbrella strollers that many of us were carted around in as kids. However, we are thrilled to let you know that modern travel prams couldn't be further from that. In fact, many travel prams you'll see on the market could be even sturdier and of a better quality than your regular pram. It's always a good idea to read reviews and research the brand's make and model before making your purchase.

Here Are The 8 Best Travel Prams In Australia In 2024:

1. yoyo² travel pram + compact stroller, $849.95.

Babyzen Yoyo

The YOYO² travel pram is ready to grow with your baby with it’s handy interchangeable seat pad + canopy ! These can change with your mood as it comes with colourful accessories that you can swap out whenever you fancy! One of our favourite features is the famous flick that makes this pram one to beat! It is the market leader for a reason! It's lightweight, easy to 'drive' - and comfortable!

Can I use the YOYO² travel pram with a newborn?

Yes! The YOYO² 0+ Newborn Pack allows parents to turn their incredibly lightweight and reliable travel pram into the ultimate cosy mode of transport for newborns. When you’re out and about, your baby is comfortably snuggled in his/her soft, cozy nest pad, which is specially designed to accommodate newborns. The YOYO² 0+ Newborn Pack allows you to lay your baby completely flat, facing you, while remaining safe in the 5-point harness.

""Just used this pram to travel back and forward to the UK with a 9 month old. Wow! Lightweight, amazing design and fits easily into the overhead compartment. Easy to pack away and unfolds with one hand (always useful!). As a pram/stroller it rides rough surfaces well, has very responsive steering, good storage and a rain hood that folds/unfolds easily. The suspension is good and I couldn't think of a negative.”" - Alex

"“Loving my new butterfly. I opened the box and you simply push in two buttons with one hand and the whole thing pops right open. It also closes that easily as well. It is light weight and so compact. It has a comfortable shoulder strap so it’s easy to carry for trips or even just to take up less room in the trunk when you have other baby stuff to haul around. I got the green and it is the prettiest color for our sweet little boy. The car seat adapter is easy to add to the stroller and his Nuna Air car seat just pops right on. I love this stroller and how it can grow with our little boy for several years to come.”" - Jlw25
"“I was looking for a compact stroller and preordered the butterfly. I originally wanted it to travel & took it on our trip. It was amazing. It easily fit in the overhead of the airplane and closes and opens so easily! You can do it one handed! Best money spent for sure and my one year old can use it plus my three year old. The extension for laying down is amazing and works great! It has been such a lifesaver and totally worth it. I highly recommend. Love how sturdy it is but also so compact at the same time. I had another compact stroller and it was so flimsy. I love this one and highly recommend it. So glad I purchased it and decided to spend the money.”" - Kyla C

It's very easy to push. the hood doesn't hit your hands when it's not being used like on the nano. I love how simple it is to fold. I ended up using it as my every day pram once my youngest got to the in-between stage of sometimes being in the pram and sometimes walking. he's nearly 4 and i still have it in boot just in case."" - Nerri
