11 Best Travel Prams in Australia for 2026
The Zoe Traveler has larger wheels, a similar weight, and a significantly lower price, but we measured it at 5,134 cubic inches when folded, so it is considerably larger. The gb Pockit+ isn't perfect, but if you travel frequently or need the absolute smallest stroller that won't make you angry, then the Pockit+ is the one we'd choose. However, if you can spare some space, we think some contenders provide better performance overall. The Minu v3 requires a little extra effort to fold, though unfolding is straightforward. It's also heavier than the group average (about 2.7 lbs more), but still lighter than a full-size stroller with similar features. If you're looking for something lighter and more compact, we like the Joolz Aer+, an easy-to-use narrow-width stroller, or the gb Pockit+, one of the lightest and most compact options.
You still get multi-position recline, a big basket and an aluminum frame without creeping into premium pricing, which is ideal for travel days and short city walks. Also with the ability to accommodate children up to a maximum of 18 kg, you’ll get years of use from this stroller. For parents who just want the lightest stroller possible, there is nothing lighter than the GP Pocket Air. If you love the GB Pocket above, but compact travel stroller want something even lighter, then the GP Pocket Air is your answer!
We did not experience any faulty brakes or accidental releases in our testing. However, some of the brakes are much easier to operate than others. Good brakes should be easy to set and release, and pain-free for sandal-wearing feet. The brakes should engage without sticking or feeling locked if they aren't.
The Nuna VIAA cabn offers a direct connection without the need for adapters. The Cybex Coya and Libelle come with car seat adapters included that are compatible with Nuna PIPA infant car seats. Other popular models like the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 Plus, Joolz Aer 2, Silver Cross Nia and UPPAbaby Minu V3 offer separately sold infant car seat adapters for pairing with Nuna PIPA infant car seat models. The lightweight and compact BabyZen YoYo2 folds up soooooo tiny (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1 — small enough to carry on most airlines), but doesn’t skimp on other features in the name of convenience. Yes, this stroller was designed specifically for luxe travel and city living. Yes, it’s the priciest of all the travel strollers reviewed here, but totally worth it if you have a travel/urban lifestyle (IYKYK!).
We liked the Mountain Buggy and Uppa Baby Mini as they felt solid enough for every day use as well as travel, and the price was reasonable considering all the features. The GB pockit, although small, just feels too filmsy for everyday use and the zero recline was a no for us. I’ve experienced the stress of hauling strollers through airports and navigating long-haul flights. After many trips (and a lot of trial and error), I’ve tried out several strollers, so I get how important it is to find the right one for for your trip. 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.
"This stroller is super lightweight and easy to fold with one hand, which means it’s a great option for stashing in the overhead bin of an airplane." A safe baby pram should include a secure five-point harness, reliable brakes, stable wheels and sturdy construction. Parents should also look for prams that meet Australian safety standards.
The only strolling equipment you cannot use since birth (unless it’s car seat compatible) are stroller wagons. But, as handy as they are at home I’d only recommend traveling with the smallest ones – like Larktale Caravan Coupe, for example. For added travel convenience, the Minu V3 can be paired with a separately sold infant car seat adapter, and UPPAbaby offers a Travel Bag with its TravelSafe Program for added protection when traveling. For families traveling with a newborn, the Aer2 can be paired with the Joolz Aer2 Cot for a more supportive lie-flat setup. A matching ride-on board is also available, making the Aer2 a versatile option for growing families who want to keep their travel gear lightweight and compact.
You can also turn it into a Nuna travel system with the lightweight Nuna PIPA infant car seat, sold separately, without needing any extra adaptor (the car seat rests against the bumper bar). Little travelers who are beyond the baby stage do well with an umbrella-style stroller like this one that gives them a place to sit when they need a break but does not cost parents much cash. Mesh sides provide airflow when you're visiting warm places and rear suspension provides a smoother ride than the truly cheap sling-style models that are built more like toys. Because it's got such a lightweight aluminum frame the weight limit for the Liteway is 40 pounds while others on this list go up to 50 pounds. Best for children who can sit upright independently (typically 6 months+).
Also called compact strollers, lightweight strollers, or travel buggies, travel strollers are designed to make zipping around with your baby a breeze. They are a lot less bulky than a traditional pram or pushchair, and you won't need to break the bank either, as many are really reasonably priced. Many modern travel strollers are designed for daily use, not just vacations. Premium models now offer full recline seats, suspension, larger storage baskets, and higher weight limits, allowing them to function as primary strollers for many families. A travel stroller is a lightweight, compact stroller designed for portability and convenience.
We love the zip-open sun drape for complete protection from head to toe and free rain cover and bumper included. Only taking seconds to fold, the BABYZEN YOYO² Pram is compact and cabin approved. Extremely strong and super light thanks to its high-quality materials, we love that all seat fabrics are washing machine friendly. Whether you’re heading off on bub’s first road trip or your mini-me is a frequent flyer, a travel pram or stroller is a handy accessory that makes family holidays more comfortable for everyone. Ergobaby Metro is one of the most frequently chosen travel strollers for infants if people don’t want to pay for Babyzen Yoyo.
The Mountain Buggy Nano Duo has become one of the most recommended travel double prams for Australian families with twins or two young children thanks to its compact fold, lightweight frame and everyday practicality. Unlike many bulky double prams, the Nano Duo is specifically designed for travel and city living, making it ideal for airports, overseas holidays, smaller car boots and busy urban life. At approximately 9kg, it’s also one of the lightest side-by-side travel double prams available. The quality of a travel stroller's frame affects how easy it is to push and how much flex and bending occur when maneuvering through crowded or tight spaces.
Zoe “The Tour v2” gives you all the features of a full-size stroller in a very lightweight package. They focused on the things parents need the most, like a huge canopy, a one-handed fold, and a large storage basket. For some parents, that means a quick one-handed fold and compact size, while others prioritise smoother wheels and room for more than one child.
Also, umbrella strollers must be steered and pushed with two hands. When you add on the optional newborn pack ($180), the Babyzen Yoyo2 can be used from birth onward. This review started in 2025, when Kristan and I tested seven travel strollers across airport runs, neighborhood walks, and daily errands with real kids in tow. The testing covered six airports, five road trips, and more zoo visits than any adult should willingly endure.
