How much does a pram cost?

What does a pram cost? – Prices, models & clever saving tips

The arrival of your bundle of joy is a magical moment that brings with it many questions – and one of the biggest is often: "How much does a pram actually cost?" Don’t worry, almost all expectant parents ask themselves this question. At my junior, we understand how important it is to find the perfect model for your baby and your budget. We want to offer you transparency and show you which factors influence the price of a pram and how you can save smartly without compromising on quality and safety.

From budget to premium: An overview of the price ranges.

The world of prams is diverse, and this is reflected in the prices as well. From compact buggies, perfect travel companions, to luxurious combination prams that will accompany you for years – the costs can vary greatly. It is important to understand that “cheap” does not necessarily mean “bad”, and “expensive” is not always “better”. Rather, it’s about finding the model that best suits your needs, lifestyle, and budget. We will give you an overview of the common price ranges and what you can expect in each category:

The right pushchair for every adventure.

The right buggy for every adventure.

Entry-level models: Solid quality at a low price.

For families who need to keep an eye on their budget or are simply looking for a reliable, straightforward pushchair, entry-level models offer an excellent solution. In this category, which typically ranges from around 200 to 500 euros, you’ll find sturdy and functional pushchairs that meet all the essential requirements for safety and comfort. These are often simple combination pushchairs that are well-suited to everyday life with a baby. They usually offer a robust construction, good handling, and the most important features. While they may not have all the luxury extras of premium models, they are absolutely practical for daily use and safe for your child. At my junior, we also place great value on long-lasting quality in our entry-level models, so you can enjoy them for a long time.

Mid-range pushchair: The popular all-rounder

The mid-range is the heart of the pushchair market and arguably the most popular choice for many families. Here, the price range typically lies between around 500 and 1000 euros. In this category, you’ll find excellent value for money, combining high-quality materials, well-thought-out features, and attractive design. The models often offer improved suspension for greater comfort even on challenging terrain, a panoramic window for the best view and fresh air, versatile adjustment options such as adjustable handles, as well as easier folding and handling. Many combination pushchairs from my junior fall into this category, as they are designed as practical 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 sets with carrycot, seat unit and, if desired, an infant car seat or rear-facing seat. They are robust enough for daily use and offer the comfort and flexibility that modern parents desire. Here, you are investing in durability and functionality that will accompany you and your baby for many years to come.

Premium pushchair: Superior comfort & innovative features.

When it comes to the ultimate in design, comfort, and functionality, you will find it in the premium category. Here, prices typically start at around 1,000 euros and can be significantly higher. These pushchairs are designed for parents who are unwilling to compromise and want only the very best for their child. You can expect the highest quality workmanship, the finest materials, and innovative technologies – from advanced suspension systems that effortlessly handle even rough terrain, to smart features such as particularly compact folding mechanisms. Often, these models already include an extensive accessory package that is perfectly matched to the pushchair. Premium pushchairs are an investment in exceptional ride comfort, durability, and a design that attracts attention. They also tend to retain their value well and, with proper care, can still achieve a good resale value even after several years.

Which factors influence the price of a pushchair?

The price of a pram is rarely arbitrary. It is made up of a variety of factors, ranging from the type of pram to the materials used. By understanding how the costs are composed, you can make an informed decision and find exactly the pram that suits your needs and your budget. Let’s take a look at the most important influencing factors:

Type of pushchair (combination, buggy, twin pushchair)

The basic design of the pram is one of the main factors driving up the price. A combination pram is the most versatile and often also the most expensive option, as it accompanies your child from birth through to toddler age. It typically consists of a frame, a carrycot for newborns, and a seat unit for older babies and toddlers. The flexibility to adapt to your child’s needs and often also to integrate a car seat makes it a comprehensive solution.

In contrast, a buggy is usually lighter, more compact, and cheaper to purchase. It is ideal for older babies and toddlers who can already sit up, and is perfect for quick errands or travelling.

Special pushchairs such as sibling or twin pushchairs are naturally more expensive than single pushchairs due to their more complex construction and higher material requirements. They offer space for two children and are therefore built larger. Choosing the right type of pushchair is thus the first step towards understanding the cost structure.

Material & workmanship.

The quality of the materials used and the care taken in manufacturing play a decisive role in the price of a pram – as well as its durability and safety. A high-quality frame made of lightweight yet sturdy aluminium is more expensive than one made of heavier steel, but offers advantages in handling and transport. The fabrics for covers and canopies also make a difference: breathable, water-repellent, and UV-protected materials that have also been tested for harmful substances cost more, but are essential for your baby's comfort and health.

The same applies to the wheels. Puncture-proof, maintenance-free air chamber tyres offer the highest level of comfort and a longer lifespan than simple plastic wheels, which is also reflected in the price. Precise workmanship, sturdy seams and high-quality joints guarantee not only safety but also that the pushchair will function reliably for many years – and that is an investment that pays off in the long run.

Functions & features.

A pushchair is nowadays much more than just a means of transport; it is a mobile home for your baby. The wide range of functions and features has a direct impact on the price. High-quality suspension, for example, is crucial for your little one’s comfort and can vary greatly between different models. An intuitive, quick-folding mechanism saves you both stress and space in everyday life, which can also be reflected in the price.

The adjustability of the backrest, footrest, and handle is also an important factor: the more adjustment options a pushchair offers, the more flexible it is for parents of different heights and the better it adapts as the child grows. Additional features such as a sports seat that can be mounted in both directions of travel, a large, extendable sun canopy with UV protection, spacious shopping baskets, high-quality fabrics such as organic cotton or bamboo, as well as ventilation windows and panoramic views, all increase comfort and versatility—but also the cost.

It is worth carefully considering which features are truly essential for your everyday life.

Brand & Warranty

The name of a brand often stands for a particular philosophy, design language and, above all, guaranteed quality. Renowned brands such as my junior invest heavily in research, development and strict quality controls to ensure that their prams meet the highest safety standards and are long-lasting. Naturally, this is reflected in the price. However, it is an investment in trust and peace of mind.

Another important aspect that affects the price is the warranty and service offered by a manufacturer. At my junior, we are proud of our comprehensive warranty and first-class customer service, which will not let you down even after your purchase. The opportunity to thoroughly test a pushchair before buying, or a long-term availability of spare parts, are further services that can influence the value and therefore the price of a pushchair. In short: An established brand with a strong service promise offers not just a product, but a complete worry-free package that is worth its price.

Accessories & sets.

Buying a pushchair is often just the beginning. A wide range of accessories can further enhance comfort, functionality, and safety for both you and your baby. From a cosy wind cover for blustery days to protective extras such as rain covers, sunshades, and mosquito nets, right through to a practical changing bag – each of these elements contributes to the overall experience. For this reason, many manufacturers offer attractive sets that already include the most important accessories.

These packages are usually cheaper than buying each item individually, and they also guarantee that all components are perfectly matched. Often, so-called 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 sets even include infant car seats (with adapters) and growing rear-facing seats. Choosing a comprehensive set can therefore not only save you money but also make everyday life with a baby considerably easier. Pay attention to which accessories make sense for your needs and whether a complete set is worthwhile for you.

Save smartly when buying a pram – without compromising on safety.

A high-quality pram is an important investment, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend your entire budget on it. There are many ways to save cleverly without compromising on the safety or comfort of your little one. At my junior, we care deeply about quality and value for money, so that every family can have access to their dream pram. Here are our top tips for finding the perfect pram for your budget:

Use sets

One of the most effective ways to save money when buying a pram is to purchase a complete set. Instead of buying the carrycot, the seat unit, and the accessories separately, many brands – including my junior – offer carefully assembled packages. These are usually significantly cheaper than if you were to buy all the components individually. The advantage is not just the price, but also the reassurance that all parts are perfectly matched and that you immediately have everything you need to start life with your baby. Look out for special “3-in-1” or “4-in-1” offers, which often even include the adapter for the infant carrier or practical starter accessories such as an infant carrier or rear-facing seat.

Current offers & promotions

Keep an eye out for current offers and seasonal promotions. Many manufacturers and retailers, including my junior, regularly offer attractive discounts on selected models or entire ranges. You’ll often find particularly good opportunities to save during events such as Black Friday, seasonal sales, or special Mother’s Day and Father’s Day promotions. There are also frequent chances to get a high-quality pushchair at a reduced price when collections change. It’s best to sign up for the newsletter of your favourite brands or follow them on social media so you don’t miss out on any of these valuable savings opportunities. This way, you can get hold of a first-class pushchair without having to pay the full price.

Seize the right moment

Sometimes timing is everything. Much like with other major purchases, the prices of pushchairs can also vary depending on the season or product cycle. When a new model is launched, the prices of previous models are often adjusted to make room in the warehouse. So, if you don’t necessarily need the very latest model, it may be worth waiting for such moments. Occasionally, there are also offers after major baby or children’s trade fairs. Doing good research in advance and keeping an eye on product announcements from your preferred brands can help you find the perfect time to buy your pushchair and save a significant amount of money.

Quality pays off: durability vs. short-term price

It may be tempting to choose the cheapest pram in order to save money in the short term. However, especially when it comes to such an important purchase for your baby, investing in quality truly pays off in the long run. A high-quality pram, such as those offered by my junior, is not only more comfortable for your child, but also considerably more durable.

In addition, high-quality prams often have a better resale value. If you wish to sell the pram on after a few years, you will be able to achieve significantly more for a branded model in good condition than for a very inexpensive one. What initially appears to be a higher expense therefore turns out to be a wise investment in durability, safety, and ultimately also in your finances.

Used pushchairs: An option?

The market for used prams is large and may appear tempting at first glance as a way to save money. It is definitely an option to consider, especially if your budget is very limited. However, there are some important points to bear in mind which concern your child’s safety. With used prams, the manufacturer’s warranty or guarantee often no longer applies. In addition, hidden defects in the frame, brakes or harness system, which are not immediately visible to the naked eye, can pose a risk.

At my junior, we focus on new, certified products to guarantee you the highest level of safety and quality. If you nevertheless decide to opt for a used pram, please check it very thoroughly for all functions, signs of wear, and above all for compliance with current safety standards. If in doubt, it is always advisable to invest in a new model that meets the latest standards and gives you complete peace of mind.

my junior: Quality that pays off – at fair prices.

At my junior, we firmly believe that top quality and safety do not have to be unaffordable. Our aim is to provide parents with first-class prams that impress not only with their stylish design, but also with their well-thought-out functionality, durability, and adherence to the strictest safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions on the Topic "How Much Does a Pushchair Cost"

What is the average price for a good pram?

The average price for a combination pushchair that accompanies your baby from birth is usually between 500 and 1,000 euros. Buggies and simpler models are often cheaper, while premium models with many features or sibling pushchairs can also cost over 1,000 euros. It is important that price is not the only criterion; also pay attention to quality, safety, and the durability of the materials.
 

Why are there such large price differences in prams?

The price differences result from various factors: the type of pushchair (z.B. Combination pram vs. buggy), the quality of the materials (frame, fabrics, wheels), the extent of the features included (suspension, folding mechanism, adjustability), the brand and the service provided. The inclusion of accessories in practical sets can also influence the overall price. A detailed comparison of the functions helps to better understand the pricing.

Is an expensive pram really worth it?

Often yes. A higher price usually comes with more comfort for your baby and you, as well as additional safety features. More expensive models often offer a larger lying surface, better suspension, and are easier to handle. In the long term, these investments can pay off. Additionally, these models tend to have a better resale value. Many experts advise against saving money in the wrong place when it comes to your child's safety and well-being.

What should I watch out for to avoid hidden costs?

Pay attention to what is included in the scope of delivery. Sometimes accessories such as a footmuff, rain cover, or adapters for the infant car seat are not included in the basic price and must be purchased separately, which increases the overall cost. Also check the warranty conditions and the manufacturer's service. It is also important that the pushchair is free from harmful substances, which should be verified by the relevant certificates.

How can I assess the safety of a pram and what role does this play in its price?

Safety is the top priority. Pay attention to European safety standards (z.B. EN 1888) and test seals. Independent tests, such as those carried out by Stiftung Warentest, often provide valuable information on safety and handling. A pushchair that passes these rigorous tests may be more expensive, as a lot has been invested in its development and materials. However, this investment pays off, as it offers your child the best possible protection. Always consult the results of expert tests before making a decision.
