The Best Beach Prams In Australia
Living on the Sunshine Coast with a little one it is essential to have the best beach pram! For a long time I just wanted to stick with having one pram only - my trusty baby zen yoyo which in my opinion is one of the best day to day prams. Its small, light, super easy to fold up and gets around tight spaces easily as well as great travel-ability. Most airlines will allow the baby zen yoyo to be taken right on the airplane and put in the overhead storage - its fantastic to be able to take your pram right up to the gate!
However one thing the baby zen yoyo is terrible at is going on the beach. Go anywhere near soft sand and the baby zen yoyo will be immediately stuck. Its definitely NOT a beach pram. So taking into account our close proximity to the beach I gave in and decided to buy a beach pram.When I started my search online, I realised most beach prams reviewed were only available in the USA, so I decided to write this blog covering the beach pram options available in Australia.
Read on below for my top 5 beach prams & strollers in Australia.

Mother's Choice Flux II Stroller
The Mothers Choice Flux II Stroller comes in first place for me for a beach pram and it was the pram I ended up purchasing for using on the beach. The main reasons I choose this for my beach pram were: large inflated wheels to handle the soft sand, spf 50+ canopy which is important when spending time on the beach, easy to fold up, and most importantly, price. Since this pram is going to live a pretty rugged life and might not last as long as expected I didn't want to spend too much on it. This pram was an absolute bargain at $299.
Rear Wheel Size: 15.5"
Pram Weight: 11.6 kg

Baby Jogger Summit x3
This pram has many excellent online reviews and looks like a solid contender for a beach ready pram! To be honest, the thing I loved the most about it is the look - super sleek and a beautiful gold & black option as a colour-way. As far as functionality, it has great all wheel suspension, extra large air filled tyres and handlebar mounted swivel lock to lock the front wheel.
