What a used pram is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for prams, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £300 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £255 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £195 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £135 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £75 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a pram
- Recognised brands with strong resale followings
- Complete travel systems with carrycot and adapters
- Clean, unfaded fabrics that have been washed
- Original raincover, basket and instructions
What lowers it
- Missing adapters, which are model-specific and costly
- Stained or sun-faded fabrics
- Worn wheels or a frame that no longer folds cleanly
- Models discontinued long enough that spares have dried up
How to work out what yours is worth
- Identify the exact model and year from the frame label
- Fold and unfold it several times to confirm the mechanism is clean
- Wash the fabrics and photograph them dry in daylight
Once you have those three answers you can place your own pram on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Do prams hold their value second hand?
Some brands hold value remarkably well, because they are expensive new and typically used for only a year or two.
Should I include the adapters and raincover?
Yes. They are model-specific, expensive to replace individually, and their absence is one of the main reasons buyers negotiate down.
Is it safe to buy or sell a used pram?
Generally yes, provided the frame is undamaged and the mechanism locks properly. Car seats are a different matter and need more care.
