Good value and nice design, comes with everything you need.
It is great value for cost. It is easy to maneuver on all terrains and I’m happy with suspension. I think it compares very well to Redsbaby and has more inclusions. I think it can be tricky to fit in my Golf and I might have preferred a more compact pram but it is comfortable, light and well made. Overall very happy with the purchase. I would recommend buying closer to birth so you can try and return if not for you. Also try other models in store as I had no idea until using what I would like. I think if I have another child I might wish I got ...
Read morethe Duo but the Rover works well for now and planning to use the toddler bar. Edit: 29/07/20 The more I have used this pram, I do wish I had bought something different. Seeing other prams I would prefer something more compact. I also prefer strollers with newborn seat insert rather than the bassinet. My almost 4 month old baby hates lying flat and has done since fairly early on. My friends can put their babies in the seat that can be angled so they can see out but they are also held securely. In the babybee seat she is still too small to sit comfortably but is happier seeing out. Recently the front wheels have fallen out when I remove it from the car and the shade wiring has popped out at the bottom. We haven’t used the pram in a rough way, just at the shops and around the block, so this is disappointing. I think the issue with the return policy is that you can only try it at home but you need to use it out and about to know how it will work. I just wanted people to know this perspective as there are all glowing reviews and this swayed me in my decision to buy without looking into other options. That being said, I think babybee are very good to deal with and I know my friends who have used the Rover have been very happy with it. It’s just not what I would have chosen in hindsight! I would have preferred to spend a bit more to get the right model as it is such an important purchase but I can’t really afford to replace it.1 comment

Good Pram
Its a nice pram, sometimes the wheels lock up which is annoying but the materials are nice. Basket is my favourite part. Its a bit annoying to fold sometimes it takes a couple goes.

A pram for all sizes!
My son has given the pram a test drive and loves it! He is tall and his partner is quite short! They are impressed how it suits both! Is it compact and easy to assemble! That’s what you need when you hands are full! ❤️

Fantastic, stylish pram
I bought this pram new on afterpay (very affordable), I find it handles very well on most surfaces but definitely prefer the solid wheels to the ones you inflate with air. We also have a Steelcraft and my son much prefers the babybee, the ability to face towards and away is perfect for him. It has over time become "creaky", I suspect from rocking to sleep when out and about. This is the only fault I can find on the pram and will be selling to purchase the "duo" from babybee to accommodate my toddler & newborn.

Special Gift
This beautiful all black pram was a surprise gift from my in-laws. I had be previously looking to buy a used pram. We are excited to be able to use the pram because it looks so comfy. One of the reasons we chose it is because of the bassinet function. Another reason is because we are tall and the seats up a bit higher. I really like that is designer by Aussies for use in Australia.

Thanks for your review Chelsae!
Super easy to put together!
Extremely happy with the Rover. Super easy to steer and very light weight. Not only does the pram look good, the material inside the bassinet is super soft for baby. Putting together was a breeze! The storage basket faces outwards so am wondering how practical this will be rather than facing you.

Simple design and easy to use
I love that this pram doesn't get too obssessed with extraneous details. It has all that you need and is easy to use. The glides so smoothly wherever you go and comes with everything you need. I like that it's also slim in profile compared to other very similar prams so it is easy to manoeuvre with one hand.
The only complaint I have is that changing the angle of the seat itself isn't as smooth (there is a bit of a jolt when it clicks into position).

Thanks for your review Ali. Apologies for the late delivery, Australia Post are experiencing major delays at the moment due to the current situation. Great to hear the ROVER is perfect, and I hope it was worth the wait!

Great looking & functioning pram!
I love this pram! It looks great and I get heaps of compliments on it.
Quick and easy to get in and out of the car, and love the option to get the adaptors to match with a variety of capsules.
My only issue would be that it definitely prefers a smooth footpath, it can get a bit noisy/rickety on a rough surface.
Would highly recommend though to any expecting parent.

Overall very satisfied, a few flaws
I purchased this pram in June 2019 after inspecting it in person at Babybee warehouse in West Footscray. I have now used it for 7 months with both the bassinet and the seat. While I am an overall happy customer, there are a few design flaws which Babybee should improve with their next release.
Negatives:
- the wheels slightly rattle on uneven surfaces (I used to notice it at first but now I've gotten used to it)
- the canopy on both the bassinet and the seat could be improved with a magnetic flap so the peekaboo window stays in place on windier...

The pram with everything
The Babybee Rover comes with everything you could possibly need in a pram. It performs well on all surfaces, be it footpaths, gravel, or even grass. I cannot fault the stylish look of this pram, but even with the seat liner there was no real softness to the seat, a more padded insert would have been preferable. While I am overall very satisfied with my purchase, there is one design fault I feel I must point out, the canopy my be generous in size, but I find it constantly fails to lock firmly into place when open. The failure of the canopy to stay firmly in place when open is more of an irritation, rather than a serious problem. I d

Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.
In regards to the canopy this shouldn't be happening and it may be that the tension in the fabric is too tight. Try fully extending then...
Practical and stylish
I love this pram! It is super practical with lots of storage space and I love the style of it too. What I love the most is the mesh in the canopy which allows maximum air flow, so good for summer! The suspension is good, a bit tough when used off the footpath but it is so easy to manoeuvre and nice and smooth on most surfaces. It’s easy to fold and fits in my small car boot. The only downside for me is the fabric. We purchased the black, I was a little disappointed as I think it looks a little cheap, I contacted customer service to ask if I cou...
Read moreld exchange for the grey (I hadn’t used the pram yet) but they don’t allow exchanges. I would have had to buy the grey one and return the black one separately and I didn’t have the time to do this as I needed a pram to use. All in all, I’m very happy with this pram, for the price you really can’t go wrong!1 comment

The best value pram you can buy
We purchased the 2019 Rover after a rigorous process evaluating the numerous brands on the market. What we discovered is that Babybee provided a combination of high quality materials, construction and engineering at an affordable price point. Customer service was friendly, attentive and timely in their response. The product itself was easy to assemble and practical with plenty of room for the baby. The pram easily fits into the boot of our hatchback. We would happily recommend this product to other parents who are looking for a quality stroller at a reasonable price.

comfortable and attractive
I bought a Babybee Rover (bassinet and stroller seat set) 2019 type. I use it almost every day and it works really well. Its mobile, comfortable and attractive. One thing that could be improved on is some sort of tie or clasp that enables the pram frame to be stored upright in the car boot without it opening.

Almost Perfect
+ Looks are perfect. I can tell you, it can NOT look cooler.
+ Movement is a breeze. However, in malls if the titles aren't even, it can do a very light dance.
+ In parks on mulch and rough surface, one of the front wheel can start to panic and make ugly noises (doesn't go with the look and profile of the pram AT ALL).
+ My son just sleeps through on it, extremely comfortable for him (just a month old now). The mesh cover and rain covers fit and work perfectly.
+ Pockets and storage are aplently.
- I've experience smoother, easier folding mechanisms. It's not bad for the Rover 19, but could've been smoother I guess.
- Smaller folded size would've helped. Would've like it if we could've folded it while it was facing us.

Questions & Answers

Hi when will the version 2021 coming out? Thanks
1 answer
Babybee P.Babybee
Thanks for your question!
Feedback from the 2019 model ROVER has been really positive (plus we just won the ProductReview award for best 4 wheel pram!).
The product team is discussing some minor cosmetic changes to the ROVER, however, any new model wouldn't be expected until at least the middle of the year.
I hope that helps, but please let us know if you have any other questions by emailing us at hello@babybeeprams.com.au - we're here to help!
Catherineasked
Can you get a hook on the pram and hook your own bag on it?
2 answers
I think you can - yes. But I didn’t worry about it because there’s so much room underneath to put your nappy bag and the pram also comes with a detachable handlebar bag to fit phone, wallet, coffee, baby accessories in should you want them close at hand.
Babybee P.Babybee
Hi! Thanks for your question! We do recommend just using the provided handlebar bag on our prams - our ROVER has a handlebar weight limit of 1kg, and our DUO2 has a limit of 2kg. There are also lots of pockets and plenty of room in the basket to pop all your essentials and more! I hope this helps, but please contact us at hello@babybeeprams.com.au if you have any other questions - we are here to help!
Krystal D.asked
Hi there, just wondering if there are any plans of creating canopy colour packs for the rover 19? Similar to what’s available for the discontinued comet range? Thanks

Hi Krystal! We don't have anything coming, but I will pass on the suggestion to the product development team, they are always looking for customer feedback and suggestions.
Details
Features:
- Newborn-friendly, and can be used by infants 0-4 years old
- Suitable for using as a travel system. If you purchase a bundle, this includes a compatible car capsule and adaptors, along with the pram. You can also purchase the compatible capsules separately, the range of which includes the popular Maxi Cosi Citi and Maxi Cosi Titan baby capsules.
- Lightweight and compact design weighs in at 10.9kg
- Choice of three fabric colours; grey, black and sage
- Includes several pram accessories with every purchase, including a UPF 50+ seat cover, rain cover, seat liner, harness covers, and a handlebar bag.
Points of praise for the Babybee Rover:
- The most outstanding feature that reviewers raved about was the easy manoeuvrability of this pram. One reviewer commented, ‘…I can literally move the pram with one finger. So smooth!’ while another stated, ‘A breeze to operate.’
- The lightweight design also made the Babybee a pleasure to handle on a daily basis
- The compatible capsule was straightforward and non-fiddly, with one reviewer commenting that it ‘clicks perfectly into the pram conversion brackets’
- Ease of assembly was appreciated by a number of reviewers
- For a four-wheeler pram, the Babybee Rover made small work of manoeuvring more left-of-field surfaces, including dirt tracks. It was described by one reviewer as being ‘farm-life tested.’
- Many reviewers appreciated the aesthetic of their pram, and were proud to display it in public.
All this praise can’t go unacknowledged. Accordingly, the Babybee Rover has won a 2021 Award for Best 4-Wheeler Pram. Its highest scores were awarded for its excellent manoeuvrability and value for money.
