The best luxury prams for 2025

7 hours ago

Prams, buggies, pushchairs or travel systems — whatever you call them — are an essential rite of passage for any new parent. The birth rate may be declining, but make no mistake: the world of posh prams is positively booming.
Just this year the royal-approved brand Silver Cross dropped a swanky new collaboration with Lamborghini — a sports car for your newborn, if you will — for a cool £4,000. And it's not the first time the heritage baby brand has been touted by car manufacturers. In 2013 Silver Cross collaborated with Aston Martin to release a shearling-lined pushchair with leather handles and air-ride suspension. Vroom vroom, indeed.
Previously dubbed the Rolls-Royce of strollers, Silver Cross is best known for its bouncing Kensington and Balmoral baby carriages — once used to carry Queen Elizabeth's children and still a staple of the Norland Nanny curriculum. A true icon, the Silver Cross is no stranger to the luxury scene. However, now there's more competition than ever with the introduction of smart buggies and designer trikes. The German label Cybex has even launched an electric pushchair that features an onboard sensor to detect inclines and power you up hills.
So whether you're spoiling your offspring with super car strollers, investing in the latest smart baby tech or simply interested in the lavish world of designer prams, keep scrolling to find out more.

Say hello to the latest model of Bugaboo's bestseller. The Fox 5 Renew has easy all-terrain handling, comes in five understated hues, has a snappy one-click folding mechanism and, new this year, is made of carefully sourced recycled materials. Beloved by mothers for its smooth ride, cool design, roomy basket and the fact it is car seat compatible. £1,145, Bugaboo
Stokke's lightweight pram is already a favourite among the jet-set: its nifty frame can be folded up and stowed in the same cabin as your carry-on. Its new design, crafted in collaboration with the haute French childrenswear label Bonpoint, comes in black and beige with an extended canopy and parasol. Perfect for tiny travellers. £733, Stokke
After being approached by Automobili Lamborghini two years ago, Silver Cross — the heritage nursery brand that started its life in Leeds and still has its headquarters in Yorkshire — got to work on creating this super stroller. 'Designed for parents chasing the unexpected', the initial concept was modelled off the brand's bestselling Reef design but has been updated with an angular carrycot inspired by the bonnet of the sportscar as well as automotive suede details, an Italian leather bumper bar, spring suspensions and a carlike brake pedal. There are only 500 strollers available, which is commemorated with a 1 di 500 plaque on the footplate. £4,000 Silver Cross at Harrods
If you don't see your baby as a big motorhead, Silver Cross's special edition Reef 2 might be a better choice. It's suitable from birth up to four years and comes as part of a bundle that includes a carrycot, foot muff, changing backpack, cup and phone holder, and infant carrier — handy to tick everything off in one single purchase. The stroller is designed to be easily stored with a collapsible carrycot and can be folded with just one hand. Rest assured, your baby will sleep soundly in the comfort of a breathable, bamboo-quilted bassinet — expertly designed and even approved for overnight use. £1,395, Silver Cross at Natural Baby Shower
First there were e-cars then e-bags, and now, thanks to the German brand Cybex, we have the e-pram. At first glance this stroller is crafted with the modern parent in mind, with a one-handed-fold design and a reversible seat, but let's be honest, it's the motorised aspects that are seriously impressive. A clever sensor detects changes in incline and signals electric motors to add power, making hill climbing feel effortless. There's also tech to assist you on uneven terrain as well as a self-rocking function that can be controlled via a smartphone app. While there's plenty of colours to choose from, the collaboration with Jeremy Scott, the American fashion designer and former creative director of Moschino, is particularly playful with its statement gold wings. £2,269.95, Cybex
Another car collaboration, Nuna has brought the smooth ride you would expect from a BMW to this stroller with a rear-wheel free flex suspension and front-wheel progressive suspension, as well as exclusive wheels with BMW treads and tough, foam-filled tires. £725, Nuna x BMW at Harrods
Modeled after the iconic Bentley Continental GT, this 6-in-1 trike is made to grow with your child, seamlessly transitioning from 6 months to 5 years. The adaptable design allows for an effortless transformation from pushchair to independent trike in just four simple steps. It's finished with all the luxury details you'd expect from the sports car including quilted padded seats, the iconic Bentley chrome emblem and air-filled sturdy tires. £495, Bentley
Showcasing the fashion house's iconic Dior Oblique motif, we wouldn't blame you for believing this designer pram was all style and no substance. However, on further inspection you'll find the versatile frame (created in collaboration with baby brand Inglesina) can accommodate both bassinet and stroller options, carrying you through the early years with ease. Thoughtfully designed, it features manoeuvrable 360 degree front wheels as well as practical accessories like a rain cover, cup holder and storage basket. £5,600, Dior
Gucci's first bassinet-stroller combination in collaboration with Inglesina draws inspiration from the brand's archival luggage, featuring its signature monogrammed GG canvas, imitable web stripes and a supple leather handle. There's also a collection of designer baby changing bags, logoed bibs and cashmere blankets to match. £5,600, Gucci
While we appreciate prams are an extension of your own style, safety should always be the top priority. Look for features like a sturdy frame, secure harness, good braking system, and whether it meets safety standards. Your baby's comfort is equally important — think padded seating with adjustable recline positions, a well-designed canopy and effective suspension. Your own convenience also matters, so consider manoeuvrability, an easy folding mechanism, adjustable handlebars, and whether it fits in your car boot space properly.
