What you should consider before choosing a pram


Choosing the right pram is one of the first big decisions as a new parent. It should not only be practical and safe for the child but also suit your lifestyle, transport needs and budget. The selection is large, and the differences between models can seem overwhelming – but with the right considerations, the choice becomes easier.
In this article, you’ll get an overview of the most important factors to consider before buying a pram, as well as an introduction to the different types and brands on the market.
The article presents a wide range of prams in different price ranges and designs. The aim is to provide an overview of features, characteristics and differences so you can more easily find a model that suits your family’s needs. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide a clear and informative overview.
Factors to consider when buying a pram
When choosing a pram, it’s about comfort, functionality and practical details. Here are some of the most important points to consider.
1. Size and weight
A pram should be spacious enough for the child to lie comfortably – even with a winter bag and outerwear – but at the same time light enough to handle in everyday life. If you live in a flat without a lift, the weight can be crucial, while a larger model with good suspension is ideal for long walks.
2. Wheels and suspension
The size and type of wheels affect how well the pram runs on different surfaces. Large air-filled wheels provide good comfort on uneven roads, while smaller swivel wheels make the pram easier to manoeuvre in the city. Solid suspension protects the child from bumps and makes the ride more comfortable.
3. Foldability and transport
If you often need to take the pram in the car, it’s important that it’s easy to fold and doesn’t take up too much space in the boot. Some models have removable wheels, which can make transport even easier.
4. Storage space and accessories
A spacious basket under the pram is practical for shopping, changing bags and toys. Also consider whether you need extras such as a rain cover, mosquito net, cup holder or adapters for a car seat.
5. Safety and comfort
Always check that the pram meets current safety standards (EN 1888 certification). A stable construction, good brake and secure harness are essential. At the same time, the mattress should be firm and supportive, and the canopy should provide good protection against sun and wind.
6. Price and durability
Prams come in many price ranges. A more expensive model can often be used longer and has better materials, but many families manage well with a mid-range pram. Consider whether the pram should be used for several children – that can make an investment in quality more attractive.
Products in focus

The Wonder XL pram has a classic look with a fixed hood and apron that fastens with press studs. The upper part is made of black, impregnated fabric, making it practical and resistant to moisture. At the foot end there is a small external pocket that can be used for small items such as a dummy or baby monitor.
The frame is equipped with four fixed 14-inch air wheels and soft suspension in the joints, providing a stable and rocking ride. The full frame coverage under the upper part ensures that the pram is solid and can carry extra weight, for example when using a sibling seat. The upper part can easily be removed via locks on the sides of the frame, and the flat wire basket under the pram provides good storage space.
The included health mattress is made of Oeko-Tex certified Waterlily foam with built-in ventilation channels and a middle layer of Celsius Memory foam with CLIMA effect. The combination provides good support, ventilation and pressure relief. The cover consists of 80% polyester and 20% quilted thermo wool, which contributes to a dry and comfortable sleeping environment. The mattress is Swan-labelled and produced in Denmark.

Different types of prams
Prams come in many varieties, and the choice depends on how and where you plan to use it.
1. Classic prams
The traditional pram has a large carrycot and big wheels that provide good suspension and stability. It’s ideal for longer walks and for parents who want to give their child maximum comfort in the first years of life.
2. Combination prams
A combination pram can be used both as a pram and a pushchair. It typically has a removable carrycot and a seat that can be reversed as the child grows older. This makes it flexible and economical, as it can be used from newborn to toddler age.
3. Pushchairs
Pushchairs are lighter and more compact than prams and are best suited for older children who can sit up on their own. They are ideal for travel, city trips and quick errands where mobility and lightness are most important.
4. Jogging and all-terrain models
For active parents, there are jogging prams with large wheels and good suspension, making it possible to take the child along on runs or trips in nature. These models are designed for stability and safety at higher speeds and on uneven terrain.
Different pram brands
The pram market is broad, and several manufacturers specialise in different needs and price ranges.
Emmaljunga
A Swedish brand known for high quality, durability and classic design. Emmaljunga focuses on environmentally friendly production and solid materials that can last for many years.
Bugaboo
Bugaboo is a Dutch brand that combines style and functionality. Their prams are known for modern design, easy manoeuvrability and flexible solutions that suit city life.
Stokke
Norwegian Stokke focuses on ergonomics and closeness between parent and child. Their prams often have a high seat position, bringing the child closer to the adult during walks.
Cybex
Cybex offers innovative solutions with a focus on safety and design. The brand is popular among parents who want a combination of comfort, safety and modern aesthetics.
Hauck
A German brand offering affordable and functional prams. Hauck is known for user-friendly solutions and models that suit families with an active everyday life.
Frequently asked questions
How long can you use a pram?
Most prams can be used until the child is around 3 years old, depending on the model and size. However, many switch to a pushchair when the child starts sitting steadily and wants to see more of their surroundings.
What is the difference between a pram and a combination pram?
A pram only has a carrycot, while a combination pram can be converted into a pushchair with a seat. The combination pram is therefore more flexible and can be used for a longer period.
Can you buy a used pram?
Yes, but always check that the pram is in good condition and that the safety is intact. Brakes, wheels and frame must work properly, and the mattress should be replaced for hygienic reasons.
How do you maintain a pram?
Clean the frame and wheels regularly, lubricate moving parts, and wash fabrics as needed. Store the pram dry and protected from moisture to avoid rust and mould.
Which pram is best for city life?
For city use, a light and compact model with swivel wheels is often best. It’s easy to manoeuvre in shops and on pavements and can be easily folded for transport in a car or on public transport.
