I second this! My partner got a nuna mix next or something like that (a beast) and it was SO heavy and bulky to manoeuvre that I ended up selling it and getting a redsbaby aeron (not fully travel size, but omg what a pram)

Exactly!!! I mean, perfect for walks and bub goes perfectly comfortable there, but my god!!!!! I struggled to lift it in and out of the boot sooooo much

depending on your lifestyle! I drive everywhere and rarely walk long distances with the pram. I'm getting the redsbaby aeron as I'm looking for it to be: Light enough for me to be able to carry it. Small for the boot. front and back facing (nice to have) and the one step close is really nice. just have a look at your current lifestyle and look for a pram that goes with it! like if you take the bus/train everywhere, you might need a bigger pram that can hold things and bigger wheels

Redsbaby aeron moght fit! I have it and LOVE it

if it helps we went with the dragonfly and got it on sale for a good price. after seeing both in person the dragonfly is just built so much better, i found the aeron really filmsy and i liked the wheels better for the occasional offroad.

We’ve got the redsbaby aeron and love it! We needed something lighter and smaller for everyday errands. It’s in between a travel pram and a big pram. We took it with us to Queensland and it’ll be coming with us to New Zealand (both as checked luggage). You can get the bassinet for it and all sorts of accessories. I think we paid under $700 for it over Black Friday but it’s worth it even at full price

I recently bought our second pram and it’s the redsbaby aeron. We have the jiffle wagon as our “big” pram and love it and see ourselves using it for many years to come, but that thing is HEAVY and takes up the whole boot. There is no folding with that pram, it only comes apart in pieces. We also needed a travel pram, but didn’t need it to be small enough to fit in the overhead compartment (you often get free oversized baggage with an infant anyway). The quality of the redsbaby is lovely and I’m just so stoked with it!

Got a redsbaby aeron late last year and LOVE IT. It’s so compact and light!

I think the Redsbaby Onix might be a good option for you! With the bassinet or seat it comes to 11.6kg We have the Redsbaby Aeron which is a compact pram so it’s a bit bigger than a travel pram but smaller than a full size one and love it

Mazda 2 hatch and have an redsbaby AERON pram. Bassinet fit in addition to the frame. More room now it’s just the pram attachment.

The closest I got was the AERON pram by Redsbaby. You can get a cocoon option instead of a bassinet. It’s 9.2 kgs. Parent and world facing options. Currently on sale

I have the Redsbaby Aeron and Nuvo and I didn’t like the Aeron at all while having a newborn. It was fine using the newborn pod although it was very shallow and floppy, not structured at all compared to the Nuvo bassinet and seat which felt very secure and high quality. Baby is now 17 months so going to give it another go this week in the normal seat. Pros: Light Small/portable Cons: Seat was super shallow and unnatural for a small baby, even at 5 months when she could sit up it has a weird posture. Small wheels make it super easy to feel like it’s tipping unless it’s on a smooth, solid ground. Baby sits very low to you.

We now have the redsbaby aeron, which we bought new. We are very happy with it. Pros - small, easy to maneuver - perfect in small cafes and for our inner city lifestyle. Takes up very little space in the car. So easy to fold (incl with one hand) and unfold. Light. Knowing it's designed in Aus with the Aus climate in mind was also a factor for us - has a mesh back for summer and a solid sunshade accessory. Price - marginally cheaper than big name comparable models. Cons - obviously there's a trade-off in weight vs ability to handle rough terrain. It's fine on grass but I wouldn't take this properly off-road. The redsbaby replaced our iCandy cerium, which we bought when we were expecting on the recommendation of a friend. We loathed this pram. Heavy; inaccessible basket when in bassinet mode, making its storage essentially useless. Its main advantage was that it was so solid that it felt pretty much like an all-terrain pram.

I'm a FTM and bought my redsbaby pram waaaaay too early (1st trimester) and as the time went by more styles were being released or revamped. Even though, we love our redsbaby, we wish we shopped for one later instead. I would recommend going in-store/baby expos to trial run/test them out to see what you like.
