Which pram is best for a newborn in Australia?

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.

Do I need a bassinet for a newborn pram?

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.

Which prams are compatible with infant capsules in Australia?

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.

Can I use a travel pram for a newborn?

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.

What to look for in a newborn pram

A newborn can’t sit upright yet, so the pram must provide a completely flat sleeping surface. Here’s what to check before buying:

Bassinet included? The UPPAbaby Vista V3 includes one. Others sell it separately ($200–$400).
Capsule compatibility: Being able to click an infant capsule directly onto the pram frame means you don’t wake a sleeping baby when moving from car to pram.
Newborn inserts: Some prams include a cushioned newborn insert (Nuna Mixx Next’s merino wool insert). Others require a separate newborn pack (Stokke YOYO³).
Parent-facing mode: All 5 prams have reversible seats so your newborn faces you — important for bonding and monitoring in the early months.
