A pram wagon is a hybrid between a pram and a wagon, designed to offer more versatility and space than traditional prams or strollers. While a pram or stroller typically accommodates one or two children seated in a forward-facing position, pram wagons feature a more spacious design that can comfortably hold multiple children at once, often with the option for them to sit facing each other.
Pram wagons also tend to have larger wheels and a sturdier frame, making them easier to manoeuvre over various terrains like gravel, or grass.
All Wagons sold by Pragon meet the Australian safety standards of a pram. The mandatory standard is based on the voluntary Australian New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2088:2000 'Prams and strollers—safety requirements'.
Each wagon brand is shipped from a different warehouse, in different states. All wagons are dispatched within two working days and sent by courier. Delivery is usually very quick once the wagon has been dispatched.

Pram wagons have been popular in the USA for several years, but Australia has stricter safety standards for prams. While some people have imported pram wagons from the USA, significant modifications were needed for them to meet Australian safety requirements. These changes include smaller adjustments, like specific warning labels, and larger safety features, such as a red brake and a permanently sewn-on crotch strap. It’s important to note that American models do not meet Australian pram safety guidelines and are not covered by the Australian warranty.
Genuine accessories should be used with your wagon, as off market accessories can void the warranty.
It depends on the airline's policies. Some airlines allow pram wagons to be checked in as prams, while others may require them to be checked as oversized luggage or have restrictions based on size. We recommend referring to it as a pram rather than a wagon when checking with airlines. So far, our customers have successfully flown with their pram wagons, both domestically and internationally, but it’s always best to confirm with your airline before your trip. Be sure to protect it with a travel bag or cover to prevent damage during transport.
