🚼Pram
Melbourne's trams have low-floor accessible options and most central stations have lifts. Southbank, Docklands, and the Federation Square precinct are excellent for prams. The Carlton Gardens, Fitzroy Gardens, and Royal Botanic Gardens all have smooth paved paths.
🍽️Food & Eating
Melbourne's food culture is arguably the best in Australia: an extraordinary range of cuisines, world-class coffee, and a deeply relaxed attitude toward children in restaurants. Brunch is practically a religion in Fitzroy, Collingwood, and South Yarra with dedicated family-friendly cafes everywhere.
🛡️Safety
Extremely safe and family-friendly. Melbourne's infamous four seasons in one day weather means always carrying a layer and a raincover for the pram. Sun safety applies strongly from October through March: UV levels are very high on clear days.
🏥Hospitals
Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne (RCH) is Australia's premier paediatric facility and regularly rated in the world's top 10 children's hospitals. The Mercy Hospital and Cabrini are strong private options with English throughout and no language barrier.
