Prams and strollers in South Africa: prices and how to buy

Updated 4 November 2026

A basic folding stroller in South Africa costs from about R 570, and a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 travel system usually costs between R 1,800 and R 4,300. Luxury pushchairs from known brands cost from about R 44,000 to R 70,000. For prices that are current today, describe the pram you need in a BlaBlaPrice request.

What to check for safety

Prams and strollers in South Africa are covered by a mandatory safety standard. A local safety review found one stroller did not comply because it had no tether strap and its brake control was not clearly marked. Before you pay, ask the seller to confirm that the model meets the standard, check that there is a tether strap, and test the brake on the model itself.

Summer, winter and when to buy

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so a pram bought in November will be used in the warm months first. Choose a large sun canopy and a seat with good airflow for summer, and easy-clean fabric, since a pram gets dirty quickly. If you will use it in winter (June to August), ask whether a weatherproof cover is available for the model.

How pushchairs are bought here

Prices are in rand. Ask each seller whether delivery is included and how many days it takes to reach Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha. Sizes and weights are given in centimetres and kilograms, so check the folded size against your car boot and the weight you can lift.

What to write in your request

Name the type you need (a folding stroller, a travel system with a car seat, or a 2-in-1 pram), your child's age, and the weight you can lift. Add the model if you have one, the wheel type, the colour, and whether you accept used or new. State your budget in rand and your city. For a used pram, add a photo so the seller can judge the condition.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe the pram in your own words in a chat, and BlaBlaPrice's AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in South Africa. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. To start, create a request, or look at child car seats if the travel system must fit a car seat. You can also browse Baby & Kids.
