Terrible – Absolutely terrible! Basket is terrible, my average sized 2 year old cannot fit in the second seat. Customer service said they were aware of the flaws and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. Very unhappy customer. Regret buying this pram! Show details
Not worth it – The pram is quite bulky and heavy compared to others. The basket underneath is very small, and tricky to use with the folded side. When the hood broke, a replacement was provided, but the replacement is a much cheaper/basic version of the original hood. I just purchased a second seat, my daughter who isn't even 2 yet, barely fits in it, her head… Read more
is touching the seat above her ( even when following all instructions on how to/not to use the pram as a double).
*Be aware that anyone who purchased this pram got a email encouraging them to leave glowing review so they could participate in a draw/raffle type thing. Might explain the excessive amount of 5 star reviews for a very average pram.
Wouldn’t not recommend – Had to add my review after reading others. I have huge regrets for ever buying the redsbaby, I struggled by with it for our first and have just got it out to prepare for our second baby and the memories/frustrations are coming back. The basket on this pram is useless- being held on with pop buttons means it constantly falls off and is very… Read more
difficult to get back on, plus not practical to be doing again and again in shopping centres/ car parks, out on walks etc. I recently complained to redsbaby about this and they told me it’s out of Warren toy and I could buy a new basket if I wanted- not a great help. The wheels on this pram also jam up often when crossing roads and running into small bumps- really regret my choice to buy this and pretty much for the same money I could have gotten something better.

More beautiful than expected – This Pram is so beautiful. The colour is nicer than we expected and it glides so well. It was easy to put together and easy to learn how to use with the helpful videos. Came with some handy accessories which is a bonus. We haven't had bubba yet but we know we will love using this Pram. Show details
Top quality product – From packaging to end, great experience. I loved the packaging all the extra items that came with the pram. The bassinet is perfect, we use it for overnight as well. The product is top quality, elegant and aesthetically pleasing. It was expensive pram but so worth it! Very satisfied with my purchase, my baby sleeps during the day and night on the bassinet she’s very happy. Show details
We love it! – The pram it is easy to fold and open and it doesn’t need to through in the air to open: ) The seat with sheep skin is soft and warm. The pram’s basket is enough for me to go grocery shopping. I just wish I bought Glacier with black frame. Show details
The perfect solution for our pram checklist – The purchase transaction was easy to process. The estimated dispatch date on the website reassured us that it would arrive before bub arrives. The pram was super easy to assemble, with both paper instructions and also QR codes to take you to a digital video version. The accessories pack (from car sunshades to coffee holder) were great touches. The… Read more
pram is so simple to both collapse and fold out. Can be done in one smooth motion! Lightweight yet incredibly sturdy bassinet. Smooth wheels and easy to manoeuvre.
Essentially we were looking for a pram that was aesthetically pleasing as it was functional. We looked and tested other brands (Including top of the line competitors that were up to $2,200) but none of them were as easy to collapse, store in our boot, or felt as sturdy as the Jive³. Being able to quickly and effortlessly fold away the pram when out and about was an absolute deal breaker. This delivers in spades. If you're tossing up between this and another brand like a Bugaboo- do yourself a favour and buy a Redsbaby. Huge bonus that we are supporting an Australian owned company too.

Best pram ever, I'm so happy with this purchase!! Super recommend it – So easy to use and change parts. Compact and light. Confortable for my height. Lovely design. Came with a lot of accessories. So smooth and great suspension, the breaks make me feel safe and knowing that my baby is going to be safe as well. Show details · 1

Good value but a few things that have really annoyed me after 3 years of use – This pram is good value for money. You can get all the bits and bobs of more expensive prams. One major driver for our purchase was knowing we could get a second seat down the track. Also the price point was reasonable considering the other brands out there BUT… there are a few things that have really annoyed me about my Jive. *the basket: I… Read more
hate the basket with all my soul. The moment the weight is uneven the basket buckles and starts to fall off. Then the press studs themselves are fiddly and some are impossible to actually click back into place. It actually hurts my fingers doing it and I have to pop them back on frequently as the studs that go around the back wheel bar drag on the ground and my god it’s annoying. There are a couple of studs I actually can not physically get to press back in. They also always come off when I fold the pram down for the car. The basket is empty as recommended but i am always reattaching the basket. It drives me crazy. *the suspension. The wheels fail to go over small bumps with the weight of my baby. And imagine the difficulty when I have toddler and baby in the pram. In my area the footpath gutters all have a 2cm notch and the pram needs to be lifted so it’s on its back wheels in order to safely get over the small bump. If I let the pram run on four wheels it is a 50/50 chance the pram will come to a very abrupt stop when hitting the guttering, jerking my children forward. I can’t risk crossing the road in a hurry because of how dangerous this can be. *the second seat. I was so disappointed when we got the second seat after my second child was born in 2023. The bassinet and second seat are not compatible. My poor toddler had to squish into the pram and was always banging her head on the bassinet. There’s more room now my son uses the pram seat but I was also disappointed that I could not have my son parent facing whilst also using the second seat.
3 years into using this pram and I am over it.
Easy, functional and comfortable! – Easy to fold and manoeuvre. I also found it extremely easy to attach and detach the seat, bassinet and capsule. It has a bucket seat and flat recline and my 2.5 year old (90th percentile height) still fits in the main sleep and often naps in it. The soft basket at the bottom allows you to put of stuff in it, however when the seat is in parent… Read more
facing mode it can be a little squishy in the basket. It's light and folds with seat attached in world facing mode. If I were to give any draw backs it would be this. The seat sits lower than most prams so the basket space is impacted. If you have the 2nd seat attached you lose all basket space and the 2nd seat doesn't recline. You also can't fold the pram with the 2nd seat adaptors on or the 2nd seat attached. In saying that, the new Redsbaby Nuvo pram rectifies all these issues and has even more features I didn't even know I wanted till I saw it. Loooooove my jive for a single baby but will 100% be getting a Nuvo for baby number 3 as you can have 2 kids and a 3rd on a buggy board
Great pram, poor after-market service – Overall a great pram, smooth ride and easy fold. We have been using this for 9 months now and we love the smooth ride, ability to navigate a number of different surfaces with ease and the all-in-one fold ensures it can fit into our boot with the dogs. We have taken this pram overseas and the ventilation ensured our little one never overheated in… Read more
the humid temperatures in the tropics.
However, whilst it was secure in the boot the locking latch snapped off. When contacting Redsbaby they informed us that this was not covered under the warrantee as it was deemed to be accidental damage (no idea how they came to that conclusion). They informed us we could purchase another mechanism but not for another 3 months. This has put us off what, until then, was a great brand that we were recommending to friends.
One other minor issues we found was that the rain cover came off if there was a breeze. There is no way to secure the cover to the pram, it just rests over the seat. I have sewn on some velcro patches to prevent this - such as easy fix that took all of 15 mins and very surprising it didn't come like this, as other prams do.

Okayish pram but not recommend to my friends – Been using same prame since my first born, I thought about buying another pram for my second born due to poor steering/handling of this pram but feel bothered to do so. To be honest, It is okay pram when strolling along the paved road, but still hard to push around when turning a corner or making a turn as the wheels not smoothly operating. This… Read more
has been the main issue with me since the first day of using this. I have weak wrist post partum, so not helpful when handling the pram. Good thing about this pram is easy to fold down and unfold, but still it has to be face forwarding(bub head away from you) so it annoys when the bub is still young. I wouldn't recommend this to other moms who have sore wrists post birth.

Not great quality – It's ok but the quality doesn't seem high. We had to replace the clip for when it's folded (Redsbaby eventually replaced it for us) but the bigger problem is the basket at the bottom. It's held on by press studs which comes undone every few months. I compare that to a rival brand (not sure which) that I saw recently that had a 3-4 year old happily riding in the bottom basket.

Looks great but Clunky – The style and look of the pram is 10/10. However that’s where it ends. Functionality it’s difficult to open and close (especially when comparing it to the top prams around today). Having to use two hands to push the handle up and down is so frustrating. And if you have long nails forget about getting this pram, and I mean even if they are only 1cm… Read more
long they get in the way. It is heavy to move and has horrible manoeuvrability. The seat is too low, so trying to get things out of the basket is a nightmare! It’s a shame that I purchased the pram in covid lockdown when I couldn’t try it out and got it before my baby was born. If I had a chance to try it out I wouldn’t have purchased it. It is so difficult to move around it feels like driving a car with no power steering. When I compare it to the uppababy vista (which is huge) the jive feels like I’m pushing a tonne around. I can walk my dog and push the vista but when I do that with the jive my hand and wrist hurts immediately. I wish I could sell it so I could get a new pram. I’m honestly so disappointed even a year on.

Not for me – I was happy at first with the Jive 3, but realised over time that it just wasn’t for me. The most annoying feature on this pram is the basket. It hardly holds any weight without coming undone, I can’t believe a pram is designed with clip buttons to keep it up. They constantly come undone and I’m forever trying to do them up, which is not easy to… Read more
do! I wouldn’t say this is a light weight pram either, I’m currently looking to get a new pram and sell this one after 1 year of used because every time I use it I get frustrated.

Expected more for the price – We followed all our mates and bought a redsbaby pram JIVE 3. We were happy to splash the cash, thinking we were paying for something that would last. Unfortunately, we have been using it for only 9 months and encountered a fair few issues. The pram is hard to fold down and with the Jive 3 you need to swap from rear facing to front facing, which is… Read more
just an annoying extra step every time you fold it up. One of the folding levers on our pram came loose very early on and redsbaby refused to replace it despite being within the warranty (they said it's just wear and tear damage). I also wish the basket underneath was bigger... ironically it doesn't even fit the redsbaby nappy bag in the basket without properly squishing it in. Finally, the wheels don't do very well on our gravel driveway... I thought they were going to be good for off-roading but they can't manage our driveway. I think we will be selling it on and buying a different pram second hand :(
Would recommend – I love the quilted look pram handle. The sun protection screen is great for blocking out UV rays as well as general light for more comfortable sleeping conditions. I wish the basket was more sturdy like the Metro. Show details
Would not recommend the bassinet – Do not buy the bassinet. It is so flimsy! Completely unsatisfied with it. Says max weight of 10kg, my daughter was only 5 - 6kgs when it started to tilt down. Forever adjusting her, she would slip downwards. So much movement in the bassinet when connected to the pram. The clips on the side seem like they are going to snap. I was recommended this… Read more
pram, but I wish I paid my attention to the bassinet. We have now changed the bassinet to the chair because it was driving me insane. At this time, we have had no dramas with the chair but will review at a later date. I did email Redsbaby regarding the bassinet. Was told to send photos, which I did, and then there was no communications after I mentioned we had started to use the seat. Also, if you do intend on buying the capsule from redsbaby, it's pointless if you have a hilux. Thanks.
Great everyday pram – We love our redsbaby pram. It manoeuvres well, is easy to fold and is lightweight enough that I can lift it in and out of the car with ease, despite existing injuries. Really happy with the inclusions also. This is one of our most used baby items and we’re still happy with it 10 months in.
Don’t do it – I wish I didn’t follow the hype on Instagram at the time of making this purchase. I was pregnant during the pandemic lockdown so didn’t have the luxury of physically shopping around for a pram, I do realise now to make the best decision on the right pram you need to be able to use it beforehand. This pram cost a lot of money an it really isn’t… Read more
worth it, especially if you’re a c section mama forget about using this on your own even now I am 12 months post partum and I still struggling lifting it in and out of the car because it’s just so heavy! The bottom compartment is made to allegedly carry 12 kg, this is a lie, the compartment is held on by 3 flimsy clip ons which CONSISTENTLY come off. One setting of moving the seat lower is so tilted babies legs are in the air, I’m not sure what this is needed for. The plastic rain protection doesn’t Clip onto the actual pram, so if there’s a slight gust of wind it WILL fly off. When in locked position there is a lever on the left which helps keep it shut by clicking in however when open this random lever sticks out an has hit people on the legs an knees when they’re standing too close (it’s just an awkward element) The stitching is flimsy, around the buckle there’s a cushion pocket containing it. These stitches have started coming undone, reminder I have used this pram for 12 months only. For the price , better quality should be ensured. At an extra cost We got the car seat that attached onto the pram, this was just a gimmick an awkwardly placed onto the pram. It was hard to manoeuvre an we ended up purchasing an external car seat anyway. All in all I cannot recommend buying this, it’s too expensive to just get rid of at this stage so I will use it till it falls apart. But for the next baby this will not be used! (Which sucks because it becomes a tandem type pram hence one of the alluring aspects of making this purchase).

Awesome Pram - Really does the Job – The JIVE is an exceptional pram that’s functional, easy to use and looks great! It’s features allow it to be practical, easily interchangeable and suitable for 10 minutes shopping run or a long walk (footpath and gravel). Certainly a product worth looking out for. Show details

Easy to use and compact – Love this pram! We've been using it now for about 15 months and it has continued to be easy to use (and clean!) across this period of time. Went from using it with a capsule to a stroller seat and it was just a matter of removing the seat adapters. Folds down to fit easily in my little hatchback car. Show details
Everything you need, want, and more! – I bought the Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram after this brand was strongly recommended to me by two of my best friends. There are so many prams on the market, it's incredibly overwhelming. And so expensive! And sooooooo many rules. I jumped online and actually found this pram in the Sale section, as they had just released new models. With my Jive3, I got $300… Read more
of extras for free, and the standard came with absolutely everything I needed to take my baby from newborn to until he will be old enough to not need a pram at all. We also purchased the baby capsule for extra convenience.
The pram has features that I didn't even know would be required, but that aren't fluff that nobody would ever use. The air vents, the UV protection, the easy access for it all - it's incredible. It folds easily, isn't to heavy, is easy to just click the bassinet or seat in and out. Listen, for a first time mum who has no idea about anything, Redsbaby made life really easy for me. It took away so much anxiety. I am really grateful.
It runs well over bumpy roads, all different terrains (we love to bush walk), and I'm looking forward to testing it out on a hike. The wrist strap, whilst I know is standard for Australian prams, is a comfortable one that doesn't dig into your wrists like some others. The basket underneath could be bigger (which I believe they did on the newer models), but honestly the bigger it is the more crap I'm going to fill it with so it's probably good as it is!
I really recommend this pram for whatever it is you're looking for.
Amazing pram, smooth ride and love that its compatible with the neos safe and sound car seat – Easy to use, good quality and smooth ride. Definitely recommend Show details
Number one baby product – A good pram is something I could not live without. I take my baby for a walk in it everyday. The basket is big, good for trips to the grocery store. Wheels are big and sturdy, good for walking on gravel, roads, all terrain really. Cup holder is handy. Leather handle bar gives it a luxurious feel. A good canopy and UV 50 shield is such a must in… Read more
Australia. The best part of it is that I didn’t go broke buying this! Such value for money with this pram. Highly recommend.
Great Pram, needs a few alterations to be Perfect – Love this pram. It’s great value for money. It’s easy to steer and works well on most terrain, great suspension. The reason I give it 4 stars is the basket is a little annoying because it has a flap that folds which doesn’t stay up on its know. But the new Redsbaby has a better basket which looks much more user friendly. The slide buttons to… Read more
fold the frame down are a little annoying and can get stuck sometimes.
My baby loves the bassinet attachment and falls asleep almost every walk, and we’ve used it for overnight sleeping. Would recommend this pram, maybe recommend the JIVE 5 though as it’s updated a lot of the issues.
I PROMISE you won’t be disappointed! – I researched my butt off for MONTHS before settling between this pram and another well known name brand pram. My only concern was with this pram, I couldn’t “try before I buy”. After reading reviews and YouTube videos and blogs, I kept going back to Redsbaby. I am so glad I did! The stand out features for me were: 1. The fact this pram could fold… Read more
with the seat attached. 2. The fact this pram had the ability to fold up whilst the wheels were intact with the ground without any part of the pram itself touching the ground. 3. The bassinet was included. 4. The bassinet was approved for safe sleeping. 5. Australian made. 6. All the different panels of mesh to allow airflow in our far northern Australian heat.
I PROMISE you will not regret purchasing any Redsbaby product. Quality is outstanding and the finishes are immaculate. I’m am happy beyond all expectations!
This is a fab pram – I really love the pram as it’s so easy to assemble. I actually bought it because I used to work as a nanny and the lady I worked for owned the same model, it literally glides along.
Worth every cent! – I was really worried about buying a double pram. My 2yo has always hated our old pram so I was anxious to spend the money on a new one. Im so glad I did! 2yo loves it! I got the double Jive3 with a toddler board and she loves travelling either way! Im currently expecting so needed to get a double pram with toddler board attachment, with front and… Read more
rear facing seat, bassinet, big basket and ability to fit it all in my tiny car. This pram was the perfect choice! It has everything I ever hoped for in a double pram. You will not regret it!
A lot of money and it s not good enough! – Pram itself is robust and well designed but when it comes to being practical and mom&baby friendly is so bad!! The pram is SO SO HEAVY! I am a former agonistic swimmer and national rowing champion -> this pram is a back killer when it comes to putting it in the car or moving it anywhere! Please dont believe the website when it says LIGHTWEIGHT -… Read more
It’s totally misleading and i have suffered so much for it! Another downside is that it’s not really meant for summer or hot weather. Spent the summer in Europe and my baby was so miserable because his back was so so wet all the time :( i asked if I could get a summer version or sth and they advised to time my exits when it’s not too hot…well that’s handy!

Room to improve – The JIVE pram is good quality but probably wouldn’t purchase again after having it. Pros: Lots of seat options - parent facing, front facing, different inclines Excellent shade canopy Quality fabric and frame Lots of accessories included Cons: Basket size is much smaller than other brands and there is a bar that prevents full use of the basket.… Read more
Difficult to access basket when toddler seat is upright and parent facing. Low seat height compared to other prams - e.g Babybee or Uppababy. This becomes really noticeable once you transition to the fully upright toddler seat. It makes it awkward to strap bub in, seat is much lower than table height, and you have to squat down to talk/engage with bub at eye level. I personally find the fold quite awkward. Pram folds down flat not upright which makes it hard to pick up from ground level.
