All 5 premium prams in our comparison support newborns from birth. The UPPAbaby Vista V3 includes a bassinet safe for overnight sleeping. The Stokke YOYO³ requires the newborn pack ($199+) for birth-to-6-month use. Choose based on whether you need a bassinet included, capsule compatibility, and your terrain needs.
Not necessarily. A bassinet provides a flat, safe sleeping surface and is ideal for long walks. However, many prams have a full lie-flat recline on the main seat that is safe for newborns. The UPPAbaby Vista V3 includes a bassinet in the box. Check whether the pram seat reclines fully flat.
All 5 prams in our comparison support infant capsules: Bugaboo Fox 5 uses the Turtle Air by Nuna, UPPAbaby Vista V3 uses the Mesa V3, Nuna Mixx Next uses the Nuna PIPA, Cybex Gazelle S uses Cybex capsules, Stokke YOYO³ supports Maxi-Cosi, Cybex, and Nuna capsules with adapters sold separately.
Yes, but check the requirements. The Stokke YOYO³ supports newborns with the newborn pack ($199+). Without the newborn pack, the YOYO³ is rated from 6 months. Most travel prams need an additional newborn accessory — factor this cost into your budget.
