Choosing the right pram can feel overwhelming. With so many baby prams, travel strollers, full-size prams and double prams available, it is easy to choose something that looks right but does not actually suit your car, your lifestyle or how you will use it every day.

Our Pram Finder tool helps narrow down suitable options based on your baby’s stage, your car boot size, your budget, your family setup and the way you plan to use your pram in real life.

At Bubs n Grubs, we help families every week choose prams based on real-world use. That includes checking how prams fold, how they fit into smaller car boots, how they handle shopping centres, parks and footpaths, and whether they make sense for newborns, toddlers or growing families.

This tool provides general guidance only. Always follow the pram manufacturer’s instructions, age suitability advice and safety guidelines when making your final decision.

What Type of Pram Do You Need?

Travel-Friendly Prams

Travel prams are designed to be lightweight, compact and easy to fold. They are ideal for smaller cars, quick trips, holidays and families who need something easier to lift in and out of the boot.

Compact options like the UPPAbaby Minu V3, Silver Cross Jet 5 and Mamas & Papas Libro Stroller are often considered by families who want a smaller fold without moving into a bulky full-size pram.

Everyday Prams

Everyday prams are the most common choice for families who need one pram to handle shopping centres, school runs, footpaths and daily outings.

Models such as the UPPAbaby Cruz V3, Maxi Cosi Oxford Stroller and Sense Bassinet and Mamas & Papas Ocarro 2 suit families who want comfort, practicality and everyday handling in one setup.

Full-Size Prams

Full-size prams usually offer more storage, larger wheels, stronger ride comfort and more room for daily use. They are often chosen by families who prioritise comfort, basket space and long-term practicality over the smallest possible fold.

Prams like the UPPAbaby VISTA V3 With Bassinet and Silver Cross Wave 3 are popular with families wanting a premium full-size pram with more flexibility.

Prams for Growing Families

Some prams are designed to grow with your family, allowing for a second child, twins or different seat combinations later. These are ideal if you are planning ahead or want to avoid buying a second pram too soon.

Expandable options like the UPPAbaby VISTA V3, Silver Cross Wave 3, babyhood Doppio Plus and UPPAbaby Minu Duo can make sense for families needing more than a simple single stroller.

What Actually Matters When Choosing a Pram?

Fit for Your Car

Not all prams fit all cars. Boot size, folded dimensions and lifting weight all matter. A pram that does not fit your car properly can become frustrating very quickly, even if it looks perfect in the showroom.

If you drive a small hatch, compact SUV or sedan, a smaller pram such as the UPPAbaby Minu V3, Silver Cross Jet 5 or Mamas & Papas Libro Stroller may be easier to live with every day.

Ease of Use

One-hand fold, lifting weight, handle height, basket access and everyday handling are often more important than features you may rarely use.

A pram should be easy to fold, easy to steer and practical enough for real family life. This is especially important if you are lifting it into the car often or using it for quick trips during the week.

Where You Will Use It

Shopping centres, footpaths, parks, travel and rougher outdoor surfaces all suit different pram setups. Choosing based on your real usage is one of the best ways to avoid buying the wrong pram.

For active families, all-terrain models like the Thule Urban Glide 3, UPPAbaby Ridge V2 and Thule Glide 3 suit different levels of walking, jogging or running. The right choice depends on whether you are mainly walking, lightly jogging or doing serious running.

Newborn Suitability

Newborn suitability is one of the biggest areas where parents get caught out. Some prams include a bassinet, some have a lie-flat seat, and others require a capsule, bassinet, infant insert or newborn accessory.

For example, the UPPAbaby VISTA V3 With Bassinet includes a newborn bassinet, while the UPPAbaby VISTA V3 Pram Only requires an additional newborn setup. This is why checking the exact product configuration matters.

Future Flexibility

If you are planning another child, choosing a pram that can adapt later may save you from upgrading.

A single-to-double pram such as the UPPAbaby VISTA V3, Silver Cross Wave 3 or babyhood Doppio Plus can be a better long-term option than buying a compact single pram first and replacing it later.

The Most Common Mistakes Parents Make

• ✔ Choosing based on appearance instead of practicality
• ✔ Not checking if the pram fits their car boot
• ✔ Buying too big or too small for their lifestyle
• ✔ Assuming every pram is suitable from birth
• ✔ Not checking whether newborn accessories are included or sold separately
• ✔ Choosing a travel stroller when they really need a full-size everyday pram
• ✔ Not considering future family needs

Most of these mistakes are avoidable with the right guidance.

Why Real-World Advice Matters

At Bubs n Grubs, we do not just sell prams. We help families choose what actually works in real life.

From fitting prams into small boots to comparing newborn setups, fold size, basket access and everyday handling, our recommendations are based on practical experience, not just specifications.

This matters because two prams can look similar online but feel completely different once you fold them, lift them, steer them or try to fit them into your car.

FAQs from Families Who Visited Us

What pram should I buy in Australia?

The best pram depends on your lifestyle, car size, baby’s age, family plans and how you will use it every day. A compact travel stroller may suit smaller cars and quick trips, while a full-size or expandable pram may be better for newborns, daily use or growing families.

What pram fits a small car?

Compact and travel prams are usually better suited to small car boots because they have a smaller fold and are easier to lift. Always check the folded dimensions against your car boot before buying.

What pram is suitable for newborns?

A newborn pram should have a suitable from-birth setup, such as an included bassinet, lie-flat seat, newborn insert or compatible capsule setup. Always check whether the newborn accessory is included or sold separately.

What pram is best for growing families?

Convertible or expandable prams are designed to adapt for multiple children. These can suit families planning a second child or needing a newborn and toddler setup.

Is a travel pram enough for everyday use?

A travel pram can work well for quick trips, smaller cars and holidays, but some families prefer a full-size everyday pram for better storage, comfort and handling over longer outings.

What is the difference between a jogging pram and a running pram?

A jogging pram is generally suited to active walking and light jogging, while a running pram is purpose-built for more serious fitness running. Always check the manufacturer’s usage advice before jogging or running with a child.
