Check Baby Product and Toy Safety Information

It is prudent when buying items for your baby or child to ensure that the product meets current safety standards. The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) has published safety information about baby products that you can read for important safety advice. Before buying, check if the product you are intending to purchase is on the ACCC ban list or recalled items list.

Get the Right Baby Stroller for You

Get the Right Baby Stroller for You

eBay Australia offers a large selection of baby prams and baby strollers, which makes it easy to find the perfect stroller at the right time, and even to sell your gently used baby stroller when your kid gets too big to be wheeled around.

Baby travel systems

Baby travel systems fulfill the need for a car seat, a baby carrier, and a baby stroller, with just a single purchase. Infant travel systems can come in various shapes and sizes, so you can factor in portability and find a lighter, collapsible infant travel system if it suits your lifestyle.

You can expect to see a lot of extras on baby travel systems. If you're shopping for travel systems on a budget, check out what features are included and prioritise your needs.

Full-size and mid-size baby strollers

Ironically, the smaller the baby, the larger the baby stroller often needs to be. Full-size baby strollers and mid-size baby strollers often come with shock absorbers, oversize wheels, and wheel breaks, so that your baby gets a smoother, safer ride. You'll also find plenty of features like extra padding, storage baskets, weather covers, and more. Many larger baby strollers can be adjusted to carry babies from birth until they are old enough to want to walk on their own.

Consider whether your lifestyle permits using a full-size baby stroller, as their bulkiness can be an issue if your day-to-day life includes a lot of stair climbing or navigating grocery aisles. You may prefer to opt for a mid-size stroller. Mid-size strollers can have aluminum frames and weigh as little as 7kg.

You'll find a great range of full-size and mid-size strollers by Bertini, Valco, Steelcraft and more.

Lightweight baby strollers

Lightweight baby strollers are maneuverable and suitable for errands and walks in the park. Sometimes called "umbrella" baby strollers (named for their hooked handles), they are also very affordable, so having one in addition to a sturdier model won't break your budget.

Though they have the advantage of portability, lightweight baby strollers are less sturdy than full-size baby strollers or mid-size baby strollers. Make sure you read the manual that comes with your lightweight baby stroller so that you can use it as safely as possible. For example, you'll want to avoid hanging purses, backpacks, or grocery bags on lightweight baby strollers.

Prams

Prams and European-style strollers generally have a traditional baby carriage design that is both sturdy and stylish. 

Many prams like Bugaboo, Bertini, Emmaljunga, Valco, Steelcraft, Peg Perego and more are built with extra features to ensure they last. They typically convert from fully reclining strollers for newborns to upright strollers for kids up to 3 or 4 years old. Various features include extra-large wheels, adjustable padding, removable weather protection gear, storage baskets, dual wheel brakes and so on.

Jogging baby strollers

Athletic parents should consider investing in jogging baby strollers or "joggers" with streamlined designs and very large wheels that make it possible to bring infants on countryside outings. If you enjoy going on long runs, your baby will be ready to go with you at about six months, thanks to these specialised jogging baby strollers. There are also mountain buggy joggers that allow you to take your baby off-road on bush walks and hikes.

Joggers are built with lightweight frames and 3 large bicycle wheels made to roll easily over uneven surfaces and move at running pace. Bear in mind that some three-wheelers are not actually intended for jogging, but for looks only, so if you are shopping for a true jogging baby stroller, make sure you get one intended for that purpose.

Safety is a top priority for jogging baby strollers. Remember to look for a 3- or 5-point seat belt. Some jogging baby stroller models include hand brakes and other features such as all-terrain wheels, storage pouches, and shock-absorbing suspension.

Stroll With Two Babies or More

Stroll With Two Babies or More

Having twins or triplets calls for a specially designed baby stroller. Double baby strollers lets you walk two babies with ease and comfort. Even if one baby outgrows the stroller, or one of the twins is staying at grandma's place, the extra seat is still great for carrying groceries or baby gear. Remember that newborn baby strollers need to allow the baby or babies to lie flat.

Double baby strollers

Double strollers come in two basic configurations: tandem baby strollers and side-by-side baby strollers:

• Tandem baby strollers: Tandem baby strollers place the babies front-to-back, one in front of the other. You might find some tandem strollers have "stadium seating," placing the baby in the rear higher up so both kids can enjoy the view. If your babies are different ages, you'll find some tandem baby stroller models that let one seat recline fully for a newborn while the older child sits up.

• Side-by-side baby strollers: Side-by-side baby strollers allow babies to sit beside one another.

Tandem and side-by-side strollers can come with the full range of stroller features, including wheel brakes, canopies and weather covers, drink or grocery holders for parents, and a collapsible design. Always ensure that double strollers have matching safety straps, too.

Triple, quad, and quint baby strollers

Triple baby strollers, quadruple strollers, and quint strollers are less common, but still sometimes available on eBay Australia.

Purchase Baby Pram and Stroller Accessories

Purchase Baby Pram and Stroller Accessories

Customise your baby pram or stroller with the right accessories so that it provides convenience and comfort for both you and your baby.

• Baby stroller rain covers: Rain covers are plastic sheaths that ensure your baby doesn't get wet from the rain. Some cover the entire baby stroller right down to the wheels.

• Baby Stroller sun shades: These shades can attach to baby strollers to protect babies from bright sun and glare.

• Baby stroller insect netting: Keep bugs off your baby with insect netting, made of fine mesh coverings that allow for fresh air.

• Baby stroller holders and baskets: Attachable trays, drink holders, and carrying baskets will let you carry baby supplies, personal items, or provisions on long walks. Carrying baskets should attach low on the baby stroller frame to keep it balanced. As a general safety rule, never attach or place heavy items high and off-centre or the baby stroller may tip.

• Baby stroller toys: Dangling "activity arches" and snap-on play panels attach to baby strollers, placing colourful toys within reach of your baby. Several of these travel toys use Velcro or clips and can also be used with car seats and cots too.

• Carry bags:  Carry bags make it easier for you to take a collapsible pram or stroller anywhere with you. 

• Baby stroller cushions and padding: Several baby strollers come with removable headrests and padding. You can also find baby headrests specifically designed for use in baby strollers.

• Adjustable baby stroller handles: If your baby stroller doesn't come with adjustable handle height, you can add handle extensions to accommodate different pushers.

• Baby stroller mirrors: Attach a mirror to the baby stroller to keep an eye on your baby.

Know Pram & Stroller Safety Features

Know Pram & Stroller Safety Features

Safety should always be the number one priority when shopping for baby prams and strollers. Ensure the baby stroller you buy has all the safety features you need, and make sure that you use the baby stroller safely. Here are some tips to help keep both you and your little one secure and happy.

Safety features

There is no substitute for your own research into safety issues when buying a baby pram or stroller. It is up to you to understand the various safety features of products listed on eBay Australia. When you read item descriptions and look at pictures on eBay Australia, consider seeking out baby strollers that have these safety features:

• Stability: Baby prams and strollers should provide both stability and a smooth ride. The stroller should have a wide wheel base to prevent tipping. If there's a storage basket, it should be low on the stroller frame, just above the rear wheels.

• Baby seat belts: Three-point baby seat belts that wrap around the waist and between the legs are better than waist belts, and for jogging strollers; a 5-point harness (adding shoulder straps) is even better. A 3- or 5-point safety harness system is essential for travel systems also used as car seats.

• Rear-facing installation: Young infants in baby strollers should be positioned facing the person pushing the stroller, so they can keep an eye on their precious cargo. The ability to face the car seat of a travel system toward the rear of the car is also a necessity if you are travelling with a young infant.

• Fully reclining seats: Fully reclining seats are a must for baby prams and strollers used for newborn babies up to three months.

• Wheel brakes: It's important to have good wheel brakes that can lock.

• Locking parts: Moving parts should lock in place in oder to prevent accidental folding or collapsing.

• Good condition: No missing parts or worn spots. Removable, washable fabric is ideal so that you can clean the stroller when needed.

Basic baby stroller safety

Always read the instructions provided by your baby stroller manufacturer and consider these basic safety guidelines:

• Strap your baby in with the seatbelt every time he or she is in the stroller.

• Keep an eye on your baby at all times.

• Keep little ones at a safe distance when you fold or unfold the stroller to prevent pinching.

• Make sure to keep loose strings or exposed straps out of baby’s reach.

• Do not allow children to play with the baby stroller.

• If you stop for a few minutes, set the stroller’s brakes and lock the wheels.

• Don't hang bags from handles or any part of the baby stroller not intended for carrying.

• Maintain your baby stroller; regularly tighten nuts and bolts, replace missing or worn parts, and so on.
