Most prams I see these days are much larger than the simple, light-weight folding models many people had when I was a child in the 80s. They're basically monster-truck-prams.
I think the perceived comfort, safety, and luxury is a big drawcard in both cases.
- Smoosh 7y agoAs well as the reasons you mentioned there is also perceived value for money. I suspect this trend is due to an interaction of psychological marketing and consumer preference.
