Toppled over not weighted properly – We initially were extremely happy with the trek but soon realised it wasn’t a very stable pram. Sadly and unfortunately the pram toppled over with our bubba inside the pram still she ended up hitting the ground and breathing in dirt and was left with scratches and bruising between her eyes on her head. Luckily she is fine I just hope it doesn’t… Read more
happen to anyone else.
Emailed Little Lou but haven’t gotten a response at all.
Not the most comfortable base.
It does does go well on different types of terrain but being top heavy it has that as the challenge instead which sort of counterfeits the whole purpose.
Really upset... I saved for ages. Not even sure what to do now as I don’t want it to happen again but also don’t want to sell to someone else with that having happened. :(
Crap! – Absolutely CRAP! Wouldn’t recommend to anyone at all! Dangerous dangerous pram! Emailed little Lou to get 1 reply back and not hear from them again! I give them NO stars at all! Show details
Would not recommend – I don’t recommend buying this pram. After 8.5 months of use we have had it nearly topple over many times. It’s very unstable and makes me worried pushing my baby around. I have real concerns about the safety of this pram. We spent our limit on a pram and I wish we bought the one we had chosen from baby bunting. Now our baby is in the seat, it… Read more
doesn't sit fully upright which I think he finds uncomfortable, he often cries when in the pram and we spend more time holding our baby and pushing the pram without him in it. Which is disappointing. It takes up our whole boot (not sure if this is normal as it the only pram we have owned and we have a medium sized car. I was really excited to find a ‘off road’ type of pram that seemed to meet all our needs and also support a small business but unfortunately I wouldn’t purchase this pram again and we are now looking for a new pram which is something we can’t really afford.

Less than 2 years and it’s diminished – We loved this pram at first but as we used it constantly it started to become fragile in quality. It became hard to push and the wheels get quite deflated more often. My worst experience was whilst I was going up a hill, the bottom broke. See photos. My partner had to attach or fix it many times. As a mom who uses the pram for grocery shopping… Read more
too, the space under was super convenient but it wore off in time I guess. I now understand why buying the more expensive brands makes more sense now. My daughter is now 2 years, and we only used it till she was 1. Had to buy another one.
I loved it until I didn’t. Suggest investing on a sturdier one. Quite disappointed.

Great pram for all terrain – Really light to go around, in sand, concrete, grass etc the only thing is you cannot access much the storage under when the bassinet is on, the clip to close the pram is to close to the cup holder so you will need to remove the cup holder to close the pram because there is no clip in the other side of the pram to put the cupholder, overall is a… Read more
great pram with some goodies include my baby loves it because is not so bumpy as the silver cross we had once you go in sidewalks. The other think i feel is missing some air access through the bassinet hood and the seat as it doesn't have any just a clear window in the seat hood.
Absolutely love my little Lou pram, it’s perfect for my twins – Was able to contact little Lou and get a second bassinet for my pram as I had my twins at 32 weeks and they were only 4 pound each so needed a second bassinet! They were amazing to deal with and got me sorted out straight away! The bassinet is bigger than a normal bassinet and actually fitted both my twins in one together. Thanks little Lou for making such a great product! The basket on the park is a great size! Show details
Beautiful quality, so easy to steer – Our order was unfortunately sent to the incorrect address, a quick email to little Lou and a new pram was sent the same day with a beautiful gift also. So quick and easy to contact and rectify. So happy with the quality of the pram Show details
Okay pram for the price point but a few design flaws – I was very excited when this pram arrived. I really liked that I was supporting a family business. I Love the fact that the handle bar and belly bar are actual leather, but there are a few design flaws that have really made me not enjoy this pram. The bassinet is an AWESOME size that's been great sleeping place for when I've gone to visit… Read more
friends and family and had to stay somewhere that doesn't have a portacot. The downside is the angle which it clips to the pram is quite forward. So when my baby was a newborn and couldnt really keep himself in place or anything. He would constant slip down and end up piled up in the bottom with his feet. It meant I had to keep picking him up and moving him back up which woke him up and made our walks unpleasant. The basket is basically impossible to access with the bassinet on unless you unclip it. Which the clips on both the bassinet and seat are pretty temperamental and sometimes they get completely stuck and I can't lift them. Which when juggling a baby and bags and everything else. Can get quite frustrating.
The seat makes it slightly easier to access the basket but only when it's sitting all the way up. But the tab used to pull the backrest up and down is temperamental and often isn't smooth. Especially if the baby is in it. I LOVE The big UV hood and how much protection it provides. As well as the little peekaboo section.
It has a very simply fold technique which I really liked initially especially because you can fold the pram with the chair still in it but only if it's outward facing and if the footrest is in the right place. but the problem is the front wheel gets wedged on the back bar where the brake is making it very difficult to open back up. I have only had my Pram for a few months and that bar is already bent and the brake is very hard to use. (See attached photos)
The cupholder is a total waste of money. Where it clips onto the pram makes it very difficult to access the buttons to fold up the pram. And its far too small for even a standard take away cup of coffee if you have anything slightly taller than the holder it flips upside down. I learnt that the hard way when my ice coffee ended up all over the road.
Overall it's an okay Pram for the price. It's great on all sorts of terrains and uneven surfaces. But I wish I had saved a bit more money and maybe looked a bit closer at the quality.

Really, seriously not for country life! – This pram really looked the part and the testimonials on the website made it look like the perfect product for our family. Unfortunately... The stability on this pram is absolutely horrendous. It threatens to tip over on uneven ground (whether that be a slight slope, and I mean very slight slope , rocky or pitted ground ie dirt roads or walking… Read more
trails, or slightly dense grass), requiring often quite significant force to maintain an upright position. The design is very top heavy and the front wheel shanks sideways quite easily. We have had to entirely stop using this pram after a cesarean birth because of how regularly you need to majorly exert yourself to prevent your baby from toppling sideways. After 18 months of use also very disappointed with how well the product wears. The handle feels loose and the frame has a fair bit of side to side play, really doesn't feel as stable as it should. I don't know whether this is a defect in our pram or a consistent structural issue. The faux leather is also starting to peel and the wheels really don't like to hold air. This pram served us comfortably for about six months and has been nerve wracking ever since. I would say definitely not worth the price tag unfortunately.
Just what I was looking for! – Excellent pram! I specifically wanted a 3 wheel walking/jogging pram where the seat could be forward or rear facing. I live remotely and my order arrived quickly, maybe the next day from memory. Upon putting the pram together I had a small issue where the seat kept getting stuck on the frame (Iike the attachments didn’t quite align). It took a lot… Read more
of work to remove it each time so I reached out to the company via Facebook messenger. I received fast responses with some tips and a full guarantee of replacement frame, although fortunately the issue rectified itself! It’s light to disassemble and put into the car which I love. Does take up a fair bit of boot space though but I love that it’s lightweight. Gave 4 stars only because I think the pram could maybe overbalance and tip if a toddler tried to climb up into it. That said, I’m so pleased that I took a punt and purchased this pram, customer service was outstanding and I’m impressed, particularly for the price tag.
I love this pram! – I ordered this pram several months ago, before baby arrived, but now that I’ve had a few weeks of solid use I wanted to share my thoughts. I love it! It’s a great, well-designed and made pram that is amazing value for money and looks super stylish. The fact that the bassinet is included in the price is the icing on the cake. My eldest is 6 yo… Read more · 1
and we used the City Mini GT which we loved as we go off road at footy games and the beach/park quite frequently. So we were looking for something similar, but ideally with the ability to have a reversible seat. I also wanted it to be compatible with a baby capsule for easy transfers on quick trips out of the car. And have a bassinet attachment for the first few months. Enter the Little Lou Trek.
It popped up on my Facebook feed one day and I was very intrigued, but hesitant as there was no way to road test it first. Sometimes online ads/pricing is just too good to be true! Eventually I bit the bullet and ordered it because you just can’t beat the price/value for money with the inclusions.
I ordered it in the morning and it had been delivered to the Gold Coast by lunchtime the following day! It took me several weeks to get around to putting it together as I was still pregnant/working/parenting a 6 year old. When my finally did it was super easy to put together and I was very happy with the way it looked and felt. Obviously I only briefly tested it inside the house at that stage.
Bubs is now almost 4 weeks old and we’ve used it extensively. She’s been to the beach, the shopping centre, community footy games, school runs and even the art gallery! She loves the bassinet and sleeps soundly in it every time. Fortunately she transfers from the car capsule really easily even when asleep so I haven’t needed to use the capsule attachment. But I am glad I have it for when it’s required.
The ride is smooth - even on grass/dirt/gravel and easily manoeuvrable even needing to go up and down kerbs and over speed bumps.
Storage is good, although access to the basket is reduced with the bassinet attachment. I can overcome this by attaching my nappy backpack to the handle bars which doesn’t hinder my comfort levels when using it. Once we move to the standard seat attachment we will have easier access to the basket and be able to use it for bigger/bulkier items.
Packing up and down/transporting it easy. It’s not super super compact but it fits nicely into the boot of my Toyota Corolla hatch with some room for other bits and pieces on the top/side. We didn’t purchase it for its compactness, but rather its off-road capabilities so that’s the compromise we are happy to make!
It’s not too heavy or awkward either. It’s solid so there is some weight behind it, but I had a caesarean and I was able to pack it away in the car in my second week of recovery.
Looks wise it is very stylish! I didn’t order a coloured shade hood as I was trying to keep costs down, but it is something I might add later if I feel so inclined. The all black with the tan handle is very stylish however. I’ve personalised it a bit with bassinet covers, blankets etc.
I was gifted a generic pram handlebar bag (skip hop brand) and that works really well and I also attach my pram back back (just a cheapie from Kmart) to the handlebars and there’s no issues with stability/tipping over - even when the pram is empty.
All in all it’s an excellent pram for the price point and I am very happy I bit the bullet and purchased it as it had everything I was after at a great price. Definitely incredible value for money!!
If and when we are in need of a more compact pram I will look at the Itti model as we are very, very happy with Little Lou!!

Perfect for outdoorsy people! – Perfect for outdoorsy people! This pram is great on grass and gravel. The air tyres give bub a comfy ride. It sits higher than other prams which is great for taller people. Pleased with my purchase!!!

Good product, although need some improvement – It is a good product for all terrain, although it is still a little bit pumpy. I love the back adjustment feature, it's so easy and quick to do. It has a big space for stuffs under the sit and easy to access from front or back which I also love about. The pram is a bit heavy and takes up space in the car booth. The safety strap adjustment to go… Read more
high and low is very hard to adjust. The cup holder is small and can't fit many different cup shapes.
Dangerous, don’t buy! – Don’t buy this pram. Absolutely a piece of junk. Firstly the front wheel kept falling off (faulty from the get go) but the company kindly sent a replacement so I continued using the pram. The actual seat feels so uncomfortable, cheep and nasty. It does ‘go’ on different terrains but is by no means sturdy. If my baby leans to one side a bit the… Read more
whole pram leans which makes it hard to push cause you have to brace it weirdly and end up with sore arms/knees from pushing the pram in a strange angled way. So yes, the wheels go on different terrains but the pram is too flimsy to properly support a baby so can actually only be used on a level, flat path. I had it on a car park (asphalted) and as I opened the car door to put my baby into the car the whole pram fell sideways with my baby inside ending in a concussion and 5 hours in the Paediatric unit. My baby is within the suggested weight. This pram is not designed to actually hold a baby. Get a different pram. I don’t think it’s even worth selling second hand as I don’t want another baby getting hurt and am sending it straight to the tip
I really love it – I did a lot of research before buying this pram. I was anxious about buying online without ‘seeing’ it first. But I love it! It’s perfect for our lifestyle w big wheels for camping and the lake. Love that it lays back, great for naps and bum changes. I get lots of comments on how great it looks. Easy to handle, folds down pretty well, lots of… Read more
storage under. Suspect is good and bubs seems happy in it. Love that the bassinet wasn’t an additional purchase. Only annoying thing is rain cover doesn’t lock in so often flings back. Would absolutely recommend to friends. It’s great and very reasonable in pricing.
Good Quality, Value compared to other brands – Excellent value for money, appears to be good quality. Bassinet is sturdy when attached. A lot of research was conducted and I was on the edge of not buying as I couldn’t see it in person, but so glad I did. Show details
Terrible and unsafe – DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRAM. It is unsafe and I had emailed back and forth with their customer service team about my saftey concerns and the front wheel locking side ways. I emailed them 8 days ago about my fears of the pram tipping with the child inside. Yesterday my fears come to life when the pram tipped with my 9 month old baby inside STILL… Read more
LITTLE LOU CUSTOMER SERVICE is arguing over emails saying my videos I had sent them were not sufficient. No apology for what has happened no offer of a refund, still just arguing. For a baby product this just isn’t good enough.
I can eat with the big humans in my high chair – This high chair is so easy to assemble so easy to move around.takes seconds to transform into a smaller chair.great product.well done.my little peanut loves eating with pop pop at the big table.
Perfect balance of style and practicality – A chair both my husband and I agree is a perfect balance of easy to clean, stylish and easy to adjust for our little one. Colour matches decor of house so doesn’t look like we’ve just added even more baby things to the room. Thank you! Show details
Run don't walk to buy this pram! – This pram is absolutely amazing. I have a rotator cuff injury that makes it very painful to push any pram. The Little Lou all terrain pram has been amazing. I can now comfortably take my little one on walks. I live in a rural costal town and we don't have foot paths, the all terrain pram allows me to take bub on walks to the beach and local parks… Read more
without high impact on bubs little head and body due to the pressurised tyres and shock absorbing front wheel. The bassinet is incredibly sturdy and bubs enjoys have short day naps in there.
Awesome pram - suits us perfectly – We were looking for a pram that we could take on the beach, for jogs and on gravel path hikes. It was also essential that the pram folded down easily and quite compact. We needed it to work for a newborn and grow with the baby. Lastly, i really didn't want to spend over a thousand dollars! This pram met every requirement. I'm really grateful for… Read more
the reviews, because it pushed me to give this one a go and everyone was right. It's perfect. It folds down as small as our old pram (CityMini) It works perfectly on the beach, and is great for our active lifestyle. The basket underneath is a great size. The materials are really high quality. We are really pleased with this purchase. I also grabbed the handlebar bag and am really glad i did. It can fit a coffee, drink bottle and have my phone etc. Just makes everything so much easier. Awesome product. Thank you so much Little Lou

Great pram – Great pram! We love it, it has been great for us! However, The only thing I would change about it is a big mesh panel for when the seat is laid all the way back as we live in north QLD and it can turn into a little hot box in there. Show details
Such a beautiful pram to look at and use – The pram is so lovely to look at and I have bought three other types of prams for my other daughters and this one is amazing. The quality of the material and ease of changing it to fit the capsule and bassinet is wonderful. The grip of the handle is great as is the locking of the wheels. Very happy with the purchase after my niece recommended you to us. Thanks again. Show details
Great Brand & Quality – Have brought my pram, accessories & Liners from little lou. The price, Quality and service are excellent. Can not recommend enough to family and friends. Love love love :) Show details
Really nice pram – I really like this pram, great price on the seat reverses. It came with a free bassinet rain cover foot muff. Wow everything the hood is waterproof but so thin the air flows through it which is great here in Queensland. Thanks little Lou
Was disappointing for me – Firstly it’s huge. Secondly the front wheels makes it really hard to steer. The women at the gyms crèche were even asking me to buy a new stroller when I would leave my baby there for an hour. You can’t even rock it back and forth without it catching. Thirdly I couldn’t walk up a slope without it tipping over.. it just had no stability and wanted… Read more
to topple over, which is hard work to correct after you have had a baby just using the strength of ur hands and arms pressing down on the handles. I was very disappointed because I don’t have much money and basically had to give it away. I Don’t know what award this is winning but I suspect the award is given by the company that sells it? Could be ok if u only run in a strait line on the flat. I would prefer something else tho

Best pram – Easy to push, easy to change out seat for bassinett, easy to change coloured head cover, easy to collapse to put in car...everything is simple and easy to use perfect for busy lives!
Great value – I bought this pram because it met my requirements of being all terrain with pneumatic tyres, having a large basket and having a bassinet attachment included. I also appreciate that the seat can lie completely flat (great for safe naps on the go) and is reversible. We've taken this pram on some seriously rough and muddy tracks and it hasn't let… Read more
is down yet. You have to have your wits about you when pushing it across a slope as it can get a bit unstable, but that's the nature of any 3 wheel pram I think. It's also not the easiest to fold up and down but for the price, the drawbacks are outweighed heavily by the features.
Best pram ever! – Amazing features you could ever want in a pram from adjustable handle bar to reversible seat that easily reclines to large basket and the 3 wheeler makes it super easy to maneuver.it also folds very easily. This is my 5th pram and it definitely ticks all the boxes like no other.
