Buying the first set of essentials for a baby is a major decision, and choosing the right pram is often at the top of the list. A pram system set promises an all-in-one solution from birth through to the toddler years. However, the market can be confusing, and not every offer lives up to its claims. Before you make a decision, it's wise to understand the common pitfalls that can lead to dissatisfaction and unnecessary additional costs.
A common issue is with supposed "complete" sets, where it later turns out that essential adapters for the infant car seat must be purchased separately. Another point is the advertised foldability: it's easy to call a pram foldable, but what truly matters is whether the folded dimensions and folding mechanism are practical for your car and hallway in everyday life. Finally, all-terrain capability is often promoted, but low-quality hard plastic wheels can turn any trip over cobblestones into an uncomfortably bumpy ride for your child.
To make an informed choice, you should focus on objective, technical parameters rather than marketing promises. Three areas are of particular importance here.
The type of wheels and the quality of the suspension are crucial for ride comfort. For versatile use that includes both smooth city asphalt and uneven park paths, large air-chamber or rubber wheels are a solid choice. They offer a good compromise between being puncture-proof and providing shock absorption. A model advertised as an all-terrain pram should have a visible and noticeable four-wheel suspension to effectively absorb bumps. Also, look for lockable front swivel wheels, which provide stability on straight paths and manoeuvrability in narrow supermarket aisles.
A good pram system set should last you for several years. The pram up to 22 kg specification is an important indicator here. It signals that the frame and seat are designed for a body weight of up to 22 kg, which corresponds to a lifespan of up to about four years of age. For use as a pram from birth, a completely flat, lie-flat position is essential. This is achieved either with a separate carrycot or a toddler seat with a backrest that adjusts to a fully reclined position.
A travel system pram offers the flexibility to attach an infant car seat to the pram chassis in just a few simple steps. This is especially convenient for short errands or quick transitions from the car to a walk. Check carefully whether the necessary adapters are included or if they are compatible with your existing infant car seat. The folded dimensions (length x width x height when folded) should be checked against your car's boot before purchasing. A one-hand folding mechanism significantly enhances everyday convenience.
Based on these objective criteria, we have curated a selection of products suitable for different user profiles.
Why this model is a great fit: This model is designed for everyday functionality. It combines a sturdy frame with practical details like a height-adjustable handlebar and a large shopping basket, making it ideal for city errands.
The adapter for attaching an infant car seat is already included. There are no hidden extra costs to get a functional travel system.
Load capacity up to 22 kg for a long lifespan; reversible seat unit with recline function; includes a footmuff for colder days.
Why this model is a great fit: For families who navigate both city streets and country or forest trails. The combination of large, puncture-proof wheels and a 4-wheel suspension ensures a smooth ride on various surfaces.
This model features large all-terrain tyres and a dedicated suspension system, rather than just using the "all-terrain" label for marketing. This provides noticeably more comfort off the beaten path.
Robust aluminium frame; puncture-proof rubber tyres (front 20.5 cm, rear 30.5 cm); 4-wheel suspension system for superior ride comfort.
Why this accessory is a great fit: For parents who want to keep their child warm and protected in all weather conditions. A swaddle blanket is a flexible alternative to a traditional footmuff and is especially suitable for the infant car seat.
Instead of relying on an often thin, included footmuff, this accessory specifically enhances the set for cold days. It ensures you're never caught unprepared by a change in weather.
Universal fit for infant car seats with 3- or 5-point harnesses; wind and water-repellent outer material; lined with warm thermal fleece.

A high-quality pram system set is designed for long-term use. Pay attention to the maximum load capacity, which is specified in kilograms (kg). A model approved for up to 22 kg can typically be used until the end of the pram-using period, at around four years of age. Use begins from birth with the carrycot and continues later with the toddler seat.
A pram system (or combi-pram) typically refers to a set consisting of a chassis, a carrycot for newborns, and a toddler seat for older children. A travel system expands on this concept by adding the ability to attach an infant car seat to the pram chassis. Many pram systems today are designed as travel systems, though the necessary adapters are sometimes included and sometimes must be purchased separately.
That depends on what's included in the specific set. Some models, like the Hauck pram in our selection, already include a pram with an infant car seat and footmuff or the necessary adapters. However, it is often a good idea to purchase accessories like a high-quality swaddle blanket or a thicker winter footmuff separately to be optimally equipped for all weather conditions and temperatures.
