After 3 years our Oscar m2 started falling apart. To the point now the weld at the bottom has completely given away. The fabric is terrible the sun completely faded it, and our break does not work anymore. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Model 2017 - good pram – This is my first pram for my first child and I bought the mountain buggy swift second hand. I chose this pram because it’s not sold at an outrageous… Read more
price point like other pram brands, it’s compact enough, easy to manoeuvre and versatile. I am pretty happy with it. I like the option of the carrycot plus which allows to have a parent facing seat until bub is ready to face the other way. The only problem is : the first model of the carrycot plus is poorly designed. The canopy is too short and does not do well in terms of sun protection. On top of that there is nothing to keep it in place so you spend your time readjusting it which is really painful. They fixed that issue with the second model however it’s not compatible with our pram model. Then it has quite a sporty look so if you have a stroll with other friends who own a bugaboo, a Joolz or a Nuna you look cheap haha I personally don’t care but it’s worth noting for those who do. Lastly the carrycot is quite small so I am not sure it would be big enough for an average to bigger size baby. Our daughter is petite (5th percentile) and she swapped the bassinet for the parent facing seat when she was 3 months.
Bumbleride Indie

Why I Love the Bumbleride Indie in Sand As a mum of three, I’ve tried my fair share of prams, and the Bumbleride Indie in Sand is hands down my… Read more
favourite. The newborn insert was perfect for my baby girl in those early months, keeping her snug and comfortable. Now she loves sitting up and seeing the world, and the adjustable design grows with her.
It’s lightweight, easy to fold, and fits perfectly in the car, making every outing simple, whether that’s tennis with the boys, a coffee run, or exploring the farm. It handles all terrains with ease and keeps my little one happy the whole time.
If you’re after a pram that’s practical, comfortable, and ready for family adventures, this is the one I’d recommend every time.
Mountain Buggy Urban Series

- Suitable Age12+ months
- Seat OrientationReversible
Buy a bugaboo instead – Look for a different brand. My Mountain Buggy needed new wheel bearings which is a $20 part. Without them the pram doesn’t push properly. I contacted… Read more
Mountain Buggy who advised it is impossible to buy these bearings in Australia. It seems to be a proprietary part so my pram is now unusable because they won’t support their product.
I also own a Bugaboo Donkey Duo. It is a better pram in every single way. It is so much better quality and well designed. I have had some very minor issues which Bugaboo have dealt with immediately and couldn’t have been more helpful.
Mountain Buggy Terrain Series
- Price (RRP) $759.95 to $1,069.99

- Seat OrientationReversible
Really disappointed repeat customer – I first bought a mountain buggy nearly 15 years ago, it was the most fabulous pram - well made, thoughtful design and still looked good and was in… Read more
great condition after more than 5 years of heavy use with multiple kids. I loved it so much that when we went back to having a baby in the house it was the one product I insisted we buy again.
It's hard to describe my disappointment with the product I've bought this time. It is poorly made, doesn't fit together properly, the material used is poor quality and the whole pram feels rickety instead of robust. The new fold down mechanism requires two hands to achieve and has already jammed my fingers. I've only had the pram 4 months and not used it anywhere but concrete and it already has lost a piece from it.
In terms of comfort for a baby. The straps have hard edged plastic parts which can't be moved away from the surface of the baby. It has meant I've had to buy extra padding to provide protection.

Phil & Teds Dash Series
- Price (RRP) $1,098 to $1,298
- Suitable Age0+ months
Good at first. Didn't last – The pram was great at first. Easy to turn, one handed operation. The zip broke the first time we used it. The sun visor never sat straight. The… Read more
fold-down clip snapped at about 6 months. All these were non-terminal problems, however, the wheel (suspension) has failed and has bottomed out, and this is a non-warranty component. The stats show it's rated to 25kg for single seat operation and an additional 15kg(?) for the second. We only used the one seat / one child who maxed out at 17kgs. Clearly under-engineered cheap junk in fancy clothing. I recommend avoiding Phil & Ted products.

Excellent!! Had it 4 years & bought 2nd hand!!! – I bought this pram because I live in the bush & love running. It has been fantastic. 4 years later & it’s still going & I have flogged it. I bought… Read more
it 2nd hand. I’m now looking for another one as I’m pregnant again. I have used this pram to death, rain wind or shine. On the beach, up & down mountains. My recommendations would be, service it regularly, get the rain cover & the little tray attachment at the front so you can feed plenty of snacks with less mess. And the drink older for mumsies morning coffee/tea/water. I read other people talk about the wheel wobble, it does do that sometimes, but it’s usually to do with a combination of uneven road, uneven load. You need to make sure the wheels are pumped up properly. And that your hands are evenly spaced on top bar. I have run 1000’s of km with this pram on rough & sealed roads. I think as well you need to check if the front wheel needs to be locked or unlocked for different road types. I think it’s a fab pram. It’s designed for various different terrains & it’s just working out how to use it properly. Enjoy!!

parent-facing and forward-facing are absolute gold. There’s no need for multiple seats, and it’s incredibly easy to manoeuvre. I’m curious to see whether there are any accessories available to adapt it for more than one child.

Good but front wheel stability mechanism is a deal breaker – Front wheel is the killer. The stability control mechanism is constantly a problem and causes the front wheel and pram to shake. You are continually… Read more

Bumbleride Speed
- Price (RRP) $1,149.95
- Suitable Age0+ months
- Seat OrientationForward-facing
A true running pram – I've been a Bumbleride Indie user for 2 years now. And whilst i still love my Indie and would highly recommend it, i felt that i struggled a bit when… Read more
i ran around the neighborhood, around corners and on uneven footpaths with the front wheel in locked position (the recommended wheel position for all jogging prams). Running on a flat, straight path is fine, but that's not what I'm doing.
After much consideration, i thought I'd give the Indie Speed a go, as it has the extra feature of a 30 degrees front wheel locking position, something i believed would help with my local neighborhood runs.
I have just come back from my first run with the Speed and i am thrilled with its performance!
I left the front wheel in the 30 degree locked position and found that there was no extra strain on my wrist when going around corners, it handled every type of terrain i came across, and i was able to run comfortably with one hand alternating.
The Speed looks a lot bigger than my Indie, but it didn't feel big or heavy to run with.
I think the larger back wheels made a big difference to the ride, as too did the all wheel suspension.
The fold on this model is also much better than the old model Indie, it now automatically locks!
The only concern i initially had with the Speed was that unlike most running prams, it didn't have a hand brake.
However, I'm not quite sure what the point of a hand brake is, unless you are running at super high speeds, down a really steep hill and need to brake suddenly??? I'm still not sure of the benefit of that. I had the wrist band on the entire time, so i kind of thought that would be enough.
It certainly was for me.
Highly recommend this pram to everyone!
UPPAbaby Ridge

Can’t really fault it – Being an active person, I needed a pram that fit my lifestyle and could go anywhere with me and bubs. This pretty much ticks all the boxes. It’s… Read more
very well made, feels fabulous, get material, large storage underneath, bassinet and capsule compatible (with adapters), disc breaks, large canopy, 5 point safety harness. I could go on.
I’ve had this pram for just over a year now and I’ve loved everything about it, save 2 things. Folding and storage: it is on the bulky side when folded, it does for in my i30, either flat in the back, or on its side. Standing it will stand against a wall no worries but it does take up room. Folding it takes some practice, the handle can be a bit tricky to figure out and sometimes it doesn’t lock on and I have to open and close it to get it to stay. You can’t fold it with the bassinet unless you have a huge boot space and it’s quite cumbersome. Weight: she is heavy, not to push! I have to stay to push it is light and so easy to manoeuvre, tight spaces, small corridors it does great. But lifting in and out of the car takes a bit of muscles and definitely a no no post c section.
However, all in all I love this pram, best 3 wheeler I’ve come across and a great running pram too !
Baby Jogger City Elite 2

Awesome all terrains pram – Pros: 1. Bought our city elite 2 in 2021 for our first and still look nearly brandnew when our 2nd bub arrived in 2024. Hubby was the one that… Read more
picked it as he is over 180cm and didn’t feel comfortable pushing our previous pram. 2. We live in regional QLD so has always want a strong pram for everyday walk. Very easy to push even in dirt rock track with 12” wheels and all wheels suspension. We used it for walking, hiking and park. 3. Super spacious and can carry up to 34kg. Our boy is nearly 4 and still fit in the pram comfortably. If we are out and about and my boy is tired, I can carry my bub and put him in there. It has lying-flat recline for newborn but I still purchased a bassinet, also very spacious. 4. It folds easily with one hand. It can fit my RAV4 and still leave space for my groceries.
Only few downsides for me are: 1. It weighs nearly 12kg and a little big for a tiny Asian lady like myself to carry, but never an issue if my big Aussie hubby can do the hard chore. 2. Can feel a bit bulky because of the footrest. I don’t pack it in my car, only travel with it if we went hiking. We store it indoor without folding it down, so everyday I just push it out the door for a walk. 3. For 1000$ price tag in 2021 (now it is 849$) I would expect at least a rain cover or sun shade, but only the pram and capsule adapter that I don’t need.

Are 3-wheel prams better than 4-wheel prams?
Jogger Strollers
If fitness is important to you, a jogger stroller or running pram could offer a handy way to slot in some exercise time, while your little one also enjoys some fresh air and a change of scenery.
These specially purposed 3-Wheeler strollers are only suitable for babies six months and older, since babies need to be able to sit up and hold their heads up in a jogger stroller.
What to look for in a Jogger Stroller
- Avoid overly bulky designs: While jogger strollers are usually designed to be used for everyday use as well as jogging, their sturdy design can make them a mild nightmare to manoeuvre and carry when you're indoors.
- Lockable or fixed front wheel: This provides stability at high speeds. Most regular strollers have a swivel front wheel- and while this is makes it easier to manoeuvre a stroller on flat, even surfaces, a swivelling front wheel can skid on uneven terrain.
- Inflatable tyres: Since these are filled with air, they make for a gentler ride with less jolting bounces. However, inflatable wheels can be punctured easily by sharp objects on the path, so be mindful that you may need a puncture repair kit.
Wheel Types
3-wheeler prams are made to traverse a variety of ground surfaces with ease. The type of wheels a pram uses directly affects its ability to do this easily, and conveniently for you.
Solid Wheels · See All
Solid wheels are made entirely of rubber. While this is the type of used commonly in four-wheeler prams, it's often not the go-to wheel of choice for parents and carers with 3-wheelers.
This is because the solid rubber makes a pram heavier, and therefore more difficult to push. If you're on a challenging jog while pushing a stroller, this can be annoying as the heavy wheels offer a bit too much of a challenge and can become tiresome.
Solid wheels also aren't as good for aiding suspension, as they don't cushion bumps in the road as well as other wheel types. This can make it a bumpier ride for baby, especially if you're travelling on uneven surfaces.
Inflatible wheels · See All
Also called pneumatic or air-filled tyres, inflatable wheels are made of a reinforced rubber exterior, and have compressed air inside. The better quality all-terrain jogger strollers are usually design with inflatable wheels.
They're a great option for jogging with on nature trails, as any bumps in the road, whether caused by dips or stray stricks, will be cushioned by the air inside the tyres. This means that baby can stay comfy while mum or dad gets their daily dose of exercise.
Prams with inflatable wheels are equally effective on flat surfaces such as footpaths.
However, because they are filled with air, there's a possibility they'll puncture if the rubber surface is met with a sharp object. Repairing the puncture can be a hassle, especially if the puncture happens when you're far from home and without any tools to fix the problem.
Foam-filled wheels
These are made from a rubber casing, and a foam interior. Foam-filled wheels still provide a cushioning effect for your little passenger. However, they don't come with the added inconvenience of worrying that your stroller tyres will puncture after you spot sharp-looking sticks and stones on the ground.
Choosing a new pram or stroller
Selecting a new pram or stroller for the first time can be a daunting task. If you'd prefer a more thorough breakdown of the different factors to consider before taking the plunge and investing in a new set of wheels for bub, head on over to the Prams and Strollers page.
