Different pram brands and their characteristics
Different pram brands and their characteristics
The pram is one of the most important investments for new parents. It must be safe, comfortable and practical – both for the child and for the person pushing it. With a wide range of models and brands on the market, however, it can be a challenge to find the right one. Some focus on design and flexibility, while others prioritise durability and driving characteristics.
In this article, you’ll get an overview of what to consider when choosing a pram, as well as an introduction to different types and brands that can help you find the model that best suits your family.
The article presents a wide selection of prams from different brands and price ranges. The aim is to provide an overview of features, characteristics and design differences, so you can more easily assess which type matches your needs. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide an informative and neutral overview.
Factors to consider when buying a pram
When choosing a pram, it’s about finding the balance between comfort, functionality and practical details. Here are some of the most important factors to consider.
1. Size and weight
The size of the pram affects both transport and storage. If you live in a flat or have limited space in the car, a lightweight and foldable model can be an advantage. On the other hand, larger prams often provide better lying comfort and stability.
2. Wheels and suspension
Large air-filled wheels provide good suspension and are ideal for uneven terrain, while smaller swivel wheels make the pram easier to manoeuvre in the city. Consider where you will primarily use the pram – on pavements, gravel roads or in the forest.
3. Lying length and comfort
A long lying length gives the child more room to grow and sleep comfortably. Also check the quality of the mattress, ventilation and the hood’s protection against sun and wind.
4. Storage and handling
A spacious basket under the pram is practical for shopping and equipment. At the same time, the pram should be easy to fold and transport, especially if it often needs to go in the car.
5. Price and accessories
The price depends on materials, design and features. Some brands offer complete packages with carrycot, pushchair seat and rain cover, while others are sold as modular systems. Consider what you actually need so you get the best value for money.
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.
The pram is suitable as an extra pram for grandparents, childminders or summer houses, and the long lying length makes it useful until the child no longer needs a nap.

Different types of prams
Prams come in many variants, each designed for different needs and lifestyles.
1. Classic prams
These models have large wheels, a long carrycot and good suspension. They are ideal for longer walks and provide the child with a calm and comfortable sleep. The downside is that they often take up more space and can be heavy to transport.
2. Combination prams
Combination prams can be used both as a pram and a pushchair by replacing the carrycot with a seat unit. They are popular among parents who want a flexible solution that can be used from newborn to toddler.
3. Pushchairs
Pushchairs are lighter and more compact, making them suitable for travel and short trips. However, they are best suited for children who can sit up on their own, as the lying comfort is typically more limited.
4. Jogging prams
Jogging prams are designed for active parents who want to combine exercise and family life. They have large wheels, good suspension and an aerodynamic shape, but are less practical for everyday use in the city.
5. Travel prams
Travel prams are ultra-light and can be folded into a compact size. They are ideal for holidays and transport but are rarely suitable as a primary pram.
Different pram brands
The pram market offers many well-known brands, each with its own focus and strengths.
Emmaljunga
A Swedish brand known for quality, durability and classic design. Emmaljunga emphasises environmentally friendly production and robust materials that can last for many years.
Bugaboo
Bugaboo is synonymous with modern design and flexibility. The brand offers modular prams focusing on user-friendliness, light weight and style – often with smart solutions for city life.
Stokke
Stokke combines Nordic design with ergonomics. Their prams often have a high carrycot position, bringing the parent closer to the child. The focus is on comfort and interaction.
Cybex
Cybex is known for safety and innovation. Their prams often feature advanced adjustment options, lightweight frames and modern aesthetics, making them popular among design-conscious parents.
Odder
A Danish brand focusing on quality craftsmanship and functionality. Odder prams are known for spacious carrycots, solid suspension and a classic, timeless look.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a child use a pram?
Most children use a pram until around 2–3 years of age, depending on the model and the child’s size. Combination prams can often be adjusted so they can be used for longer.
What is the difference between a pram and a combination pram?
A pram has a fixed carrycot and is intended for infants, while a combination pram can be converted into a pushchair as the child grows. The combination pram is therefore more flexible.
Can you use a pram for running or exercise?
Only jogging prams are designed for that purpose. Regular prams do not have the necessary stability and safety for running.
How do you maintain a pram?
Clean the frame and wheels regularly, and lubricate moving parts as needed. Wash fabrics according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and store the pram in a dry place to avoid rust and mould.
What safety features should you look for?
Check that the pram has a good brake, stable construction and a five-point harness in the seat unit. It should also be CE-marked and meet applicable safety standards.
