UPPAbaby Vista V3
A big, well-made pram that expands to carry two or three children; heavy, but rated highly by owners.

We researched the Vista V3 as the main alternative to our pick for growing families. Like the Kangaroo it starts as a single and expands, here with a RumbleSeat and ride-on board, and UPPAbaby topped Canstar Blue's 2026 pram satisfaction survey of Australian owners. BabyGearLab's testers rated it among the best full-size prams for build quality, the big basket and the canopy. The catch is size: testers found it heavy with a large fold, so it suits bigger cars and homes without stairs. If you're only ever pushing one child, a lighter pram makes more sense.
