The right pram accessories transform a simple stroller into a fully equipped travel system for Australian family life. At Peekaboo Baby, our pram and stroller accessories range covers everything from rain covers and sunshades to cup holders, buggy boards and stroller organisers. Whether you are protecting your little one from Melbourne's unpredictable weather, adding extra storage for longer outings or making daily walks more comfortable, the right accessory makes every trip smoother. Browse alongside our prams and strollers, pram organisers, pram liners, baby carriers and kids backpacks.
Australian families spend a lot of time outdoors, which means pram accessories need to handle sun, heat, wind and the occasional unexpected downpour. A high-quality sunshade or UV-rated rain cover is not just a nice extra - in the Australian climate it is genuinely essential for keeping your baby safe and comfortable. Insulated cup holders keep your morning coffee warm during the school run, and footmuffs or pram liners extend the usable season of your stroller through cooler months. The best accessories are designed to be universal or include adaptors for specific pram brands, so check compatibility before purchasing. Peekaboo Baby offers free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $129, dispatched from Melbourne.
What to look for in pram and stroller accessories
- Compatibility - check whether an accessory is universal or brand-specific, and confirm it fits your pram model before buying
- UV and weather protection - Australian sun is intense; look for sunshades and rain covers with UPF50+ rating and waterproof materials
- Easy attachment - accessories that clip on and off quickly are far more practical for daily use than complex attachment systems
- Storage capacity - pram organisers and baskets that hold a full day's worth of supplies without overloading the stroller
- Durability - well-stitched, weather-resistant materials that hold up to daily use, sunlight and washing
- Safety compliance - any accessory that adds weight (organiser bags, child-facing mirrors) should not affect pram stability or brake performance

Pram Accessories - Frequently Asked Questions
It varies by product. Many accessories such as cup holders, organiser bags and rain covers come in universal designs that attach to most pram handles and frames. Others are designed specifically for certain pram brands or models. Always check the product description for compatibility information and, if possible, check with the pram manufacturer for recommended accessories.
The most universally useful pram accessories are a rain cover (essential for unpredictable weather), a sunshade or extendable hood for UV protection, and a pram organiser for carrying your daily essentials. A footmuff or pram liner is valuable in cooler climates or air-conditioned spaces. Beyond that, accessories like cup holders and buggy boards are situationally useful depending on your family's lifestyle.
Yes - even in drier parts of Australia, unexpected rain showers can occur and a rain cover packs down very small in your pram bag when not needed. In Melbourne and other southeastern cities, changeable weather makes a rain cover a genuinely practical item year-round. Look for covers that allow airflow to prevent condensation building up inside while protecting baby from rain.
Yes - a breathable pram liner made from cotton or bamboo fabric can actually improve comfort in summer by wicking moisture away from baby and providing a more comfortable seat surface. Avoid thick padded liners in hot weather. In winter, a warmer sheepskin or padded liner provides insulation. Some liners are reversible with different weights for different seasons.
Buggy boards (ride-on boards for an older sibling while a younger baby rides in the pram) are generally suitable for children from around 2.5 to 3 years, once they have sufficient balance and can step on and off independently. Check the weight limit of your specific buggy board and pram combination, and always ensure the pram remains stable with the added weight before use.
They can if used incorrectly. Heavy bags hung on pram handles can affect balance and cause the pram to tip backwards when baby is not seated. Always use a dedicated pram organiser attached to the frame or handle at the correct points. Avoid overloading the pram's storage basket. Never hang shopping bags from the handles. Following these guidelines keeps pram use safe with added accessories.
