Overview: Different prams and their features
When expecting a baby, a pram is one of the most important purchases. It should not only be practical and safe but also suit the family’s lifestyle – whether you live in the city, in the countryside, or are often on the move. The range of prams is wide, and the differences between models can be significant.
This article provides an overview of the most common types of prams, their features, and the key factors to consider before choosing the model that best suits your family.
The article presents a wide selection of prams from different manufacturers and price ranges. The aim is to provide an informative overview of features, design, and intended use, so you can more easily assess which type best suits your needs. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and has been summarised to provide a clear and neutral overview.
Factors to consider when buying a pram
When choosing a pram, there are several practical and functional factors that influence the decision. Here are some of the most important things to take into account.
1. Size and weight
The size of the pram affects both comfort and manoeuvrability. A spacious carrycot gives the baby plenty of room to sleep but can make the pram heavier and less agile. If you live in a block of flats or often have to lift the pram, a lighter model can be an advantage.
2. Wheels and suspension
Large air-filled wheels provide a smooth ride on uneven surfaces, while smaller swivel wheels make the pram easier to steer in urban environments. Good suspension is important for the child’s comfort – especially if you often walk on gravel roads or cobblestones.
3. Foldability and storage
If the pram travels with the car, it’s important that it folds easily and takes up as little space as possible. Some models have removable wheels, which makes transport and storage easier.
4. Materials and maintenance
Choose a pram made of durable and easy-to-clean materials. A removable and washable fabric is a big advantage in everyday life. Also check whether the frame is rust-protected if the pram will be used in all weather conditions.
5. Price and accessories
The price depends on the brand, quality, and features. Consider whether you need accessories such as a rain cover, mosquito net, changing bag, or cup holder – some models come with all accessories included, while for others they must be purchased separately.
Products in focus
The Wonder XL pram has a classic look with a fixed hood and foot cover that attaches with press studs. The upper part is made of black, impregnated fabric, making it practical and moisture-resistant. At the foot end, there is a small outer pocket that can be used to store small items such as a dummy or baby monitor.
The chassis is equipped with four fixed 14-inch air-filled wheels and soft suspension in the joints, providing a stable and rocking ride. The complete frame structure under the upper part ensures that the pram is sturdy and can withstand extra weight, for example when using a sibling seat. The upper part can be easily detached using the locks on the sides of the frame, and the flat metal basket under the pram provides plenty of storage space.
The included health mattress is made of Oeko-Tex certified Waterlily foam with built-in ventilation channels and an intermediate layer of Celsius Memory foam with a CLIMA effect. The combination provides good support, ventilation, and pressure relief. The cover consists of 80% polyester and 20% quilted termould, promoting a dry and comfortable sleeping environment. The mattress is Swan-labelled and made in Denmark.

Different types of prams
There are many types of prams, and each type is designed for different needs and lifestyles.
1. Classic prams
Traditional prams have a large, fixed carrycot and big wheels, making them ideal for long walks and uneven surfaces. They offer the child plenty of space and comfort but often take up more room and are heavier to transport.
2. Combination prams
Combination prams can be used both as a pram and as a pushchair. They usually have a carrycot that can be replaced with a seat unit as the child grows. This makes them a flexible solution that can be used for several years.
3. Pushchairs
Pushchairs are lighter and more compact than prams. They are suitable for older children who can sit up on their own and are easy to take on trips or in the car. Many parents choose a pushchair alongside a pram.
4. Twin and sibling prams
For families with twins or children close in age, there are prams with space for two. They come in both side-by-side and tandem models. They are a practical solution but often require more space.
5. Jogging prams
Jogging prams are designed for active parents who want to combine exercise with pram walks. They have large wheels, good suspension, and an aerodynamic design that makes them stable at higher speeds.
Different pram brands
There are many well-known brands on the pram market, each with its own focus and strengths.
Emmaljunga
Emmaljunga is a Swedish brand known for its high quality, classic design, and long durability. The sturdy frame and good suspension make their prams well suited to Nordic conditions.
Bugaboo
Bugaboo is known for its modern design and flexible solutions. Their prams combine lightweight materials and smart functions and are popular among city dwellers who want stylish and practical prams.
Stokke
Stokke focuses on ergonomics and closeness between parent and child. Their prams often have a higher seat and carrycot position so the child is closer to the adult.
Cybex
Cybex offers prams that emphasise safety, design, and innovation. Many models can be combined with car seats, making them ideal for families who are often on the move.
Britax Römer
Britax Römer is known for functional and safe prams that emphasise ease of use. They offer both classic prams and flexible combination models.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a pram be used?
Most prams can be used until the child is about 2–3 years old, depending on size and weight. When the child can sit steadily, many switch to a pushchair.
Are combination prams necessary?
Combination prams can be a convenient solution if you want a pram that can be used from newborn to toddler age. However, if you prefer a more spacious carrycot, traditional prams may be a better option at first.
Which wheels are best?
It depends on where you use the pram most. Large air-filled wheels are suitable for uneven paths, while small swivel wheels are handy in the city. Some models have adjustable or removable wheels so you can adapt them to your needs.
How should a pram be maintained?
Clean the frame and wheels regularly and wash the fabrics according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lubricate moving parts regularly to avoid squeaking and rust.
Can a pram be used as a sleeping place indoors?
Yes, many people use a pram as a sleeping place during the first months, especially if the baby sleeps best outdoors. Just make sure the pram stands firmly and in a draught-free place.
