It’s one of those decisions that keeps getting pushed to “later.”
The pram is in the garage, it’s not in the way too much,
and letting go of it feels somehow final.
But here’s the truth — the longer you wait, the less it’s worth.
## The Value Drops Every Month
Premium prams hold their value better than almost any other baby
item. A Bugaboo, Cybex or Nuna in good condition can return
a significant portion of what you paid. But that window doesn’t
stay open forever.
New models release. Buyers move on to the latest version.
Fabric fades, wheels wear, and what was pristine becomes
“used.” The best time to sell is always sooner than you think.
## Signs It’s Time to Sell
Your youngest has outgrown it.
If your child is walking more than they’re riding, the pram’s
days are numbered. Don’t wait until it’s completely redundant —
sell while it still sees occasional use and looks the part.
A new model has been released.
Brands like Bugaboo and Cybex release updated models regularly.
The moment a new version drops, demand for the previous model
softens. Get ahead of it.
It’s been in storage for more than 3 months.
If it hasn’t moved in three months, it’s not coming back into
rotation. That’s a garage item now — and garage items
deteriorate quietly.
You’re expecting again.
If another baby is on the way and you’re upgrading to a
double stroller, sell the single before the new one arrives.
You’ll have more energy to deal with it now than you will
with a newborn in the house.
You need the space or the cash.
Both are completely valid reasons. Baby gear takes up
significant space and holds real monetary value.
There is no prize for keeping it.
## What Affects the Price?
When we assess a pram at LuxiKids, these are the factors
that determine the offer:
– Condition — scratches, stains and wheel wear all count
– Completeness — original accessories, rain cover,
adaptors and documentation add value
– Brand and model — premium brands hold value far better
– Age — newer models attract stronger offers
– Cleanliness — a clean pram always presents better
A well-maintained Bugaboo or Cybex submitted promptly
after your child outgrows it will always achieve a better
return than the same pram submitted two years later.
## The Process Is Simpler Than You Think

## The Bottom Line
The right time to sell your pram is before you’re ready.
By the time it feels urgent, you’ve already lost some value.
If it’s sitting in your garage and you know deep down
it’s not coming back out — that’s your answer.
