Used prams in Canada typically sell for C$94 to C$565 (about $67 to $405). Prams are one of the strongest second-hand categories because they are expensive new and used only briefly.

Selling a pram in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working 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
Getting it ready
- Wash the fabrics if they are removable, and wipe down the frame. Baby equipment is judged on cleanliness more harshly than anything else.
- Identify the exact model and check which accessories you have: raincover, footmuff, carrycot, adapters.

- The pram fully assembled and upright, side on
- Folded, so buyers can judge whether it fits their boot
- The wheels, brake and every accessory included, together in one frame
Put in the description
- Everything included: carrycot, raincover, footmuff, car seat adapters
- Folded dimensions, since boot space is a real constraint for buyers
- Condition of the fabrics, harness and wheels, described honestly
Brand and model with accessories: “Bugaboo Fox 3 Pram with Carrycot and Raincover”. Parents research one specific model and search for it by name, so the model is essential. Say whether it is a full travel system, since that is a different and higher-value search.
Bulky and awkward to post, so most sell for local collection. That suits buyers, who want to fold it and push it before committing.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$566 a buyer pays is the C$566 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a pram in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Has it been in storage or used daily?
Be straightforward. Buyers accept genuine use readily; what they dislike is discovering perished foam or seized wheels that storage caused.
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.
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.
