Description
Kona is the pram for parents who do not want a full-size frame but need more than a travel pram. The seat is full size and reverses, the wheels are sprung and never go flat, and the whole thing weighs 9.9 kilograms. It folds in one hand with the seat attached, in either direction, and stands up on its own with a carry handle for stairs and transit. From birth, with the bassinet or the Mesa capsule attaching directly and no adapters to buy.

Safety
Tested to AS 2088:2022 including Amendment 1:2024, the current Australian standard for prams and strollers, and approved by the Infant & Nursery Product Alliance Australia.

Safety
This pram meets the mandatory Australian requirement, Consumer Protection Notice No. 8 of 2007, and is also compliant with the voluntary standard AS 2088:2022 including Amendment 1:2024.
The mandatory standard is based on AS/NZS 2088:2000, so testing to the 2022 edition goes beyond what the law requires.
It is fully endorsed by INPAA, the Infant & Nursery Product Alliance Australia.
What that standard requires:
A red parking brake anyone can find
A five-point harness that cannot be removed
A wrist tether with no loop big enough to pass over a child’s head
A head barrier whenever the seat reclines flat for a sleeping baby
The Mesa clicks straight on with no adapters, so a sleeping baby goes from the car to the pram without being unbuckled.

Kona does not take a second seat, and no accessory changes that. If a second child is likely, Vista is the frame that absorbs it.
Compact without compromise
Small enough for the aisle. Not small in the seat.
Most compact prams get small by shrinking the seat. Kona keeps a full size seat, a sprung wheel on every corner and a 13.6 kilogram basket, and finds the space in the footprint instead. 53.3 centimetres across.
Everything listed here is included. Nothing on this list is an accessory you buy separately.

Kona
Fold. Carry. Go.
Built for the daily dash: big performance in a small footprint, so you can take the city on.
Engineering
The parts you actually notice
One-hand fold, seat attached
Folds from standing whichever way the seat is facing, then stands on its own with a carry handle.
Suspension and never-flat tyres
Sprung on every wheel, with front wheel locks for gravel and grass. Nothing to pump up.
Reversible seat, ready from birth
Faces you or faces out, with a one-hand recline through four positions that goes flat for naps.
Extra-large basket
13.6 kilograms, so it takes the nappy bag and the shopping at the same time.
UPF 50+ extendable canopy
With a peek-a-boo window and ventilation, so you can check on them without stopping.
Adjustable handlebar and footrest
A comfortable push at any height, and a footrest that moves through three positions as they grow.
Kona
Built for the city you actually live in.
01
One hand, from standing, with the seat still attached. It stands up on its own afterwards, and there is a carry handle built into the frame for the flight of stairs at the other end.
Stairs, trams, doorways
Fold it, and carry it

The bassinet and the capsule click straight on

Made to be looked at for five years.
A pram lives in a hallway and a car boot for half a decade. What it is made of decides whether it still looks like something you chose.
The frame
LIGHT ENOUGH TO CARRY UP STAIRS AT 9.9 KG, AND STILL SPRUNG ON EVERY WHEEL.
The fabrics
Premium and washable, with a UPF 50+ canopy on every colourway.
The leather
Full grain and REACH compliant on the details you touch every day.
Taken from the current UPPAbaby specification sheet. Anything shown as TBC is not stated on that sheet, and we would rather leave it blank than guess.

The question everyone asks
Kona, or Cruz?
Both take one child from birth as sold, both carry the same basket, both take the bassinet and the Mesa without adapters. The Cruz has the Vista's seat on a larger frame. Kona is two kilograms lighter and four centimetres slimmer, and it folds with the seat on.
Kona is the lighter, slimmer everyday pram: 9.9 kg against 12, and 53.3 cm across against 57.2. The Cruz carries the Vista's seat on a larger frame. Kona is built to clear an aisle and go up a flight of stairs on your arm.
Can I use Kona from birth?
Yes. The toddler seat reclines flat, and the UPPAbaby bassinet or the Mesa capsule attach directly with no adapters.
Does the Mesa capsule fit Kona?
Yes, directly, with no adapters. Maxi-Cosi, Nuna and Joie capsules fit with the Kona car seat adapters, sold separately.
How small does it fold?
34.0 by 53.3 by 65.5 cm with the seat still attached. It folds in one hand from standing, whichever way the seat is facing, and then stands up on its own.
Measure the opening of your boot, not the space inside it. The opening is what stops a pram going in.
This compares the folded pram against your boot opening as if both were rectangles. Real boots have wheel arches and sloping lids. Treat a close result as a reason to go and try it, not a promise.
