How much is a vintage 1970’s Hedstrom baby carriage that converts to a stroller worth?
kevinheatherr asked:
The carriage is blue and white. The carriage part comes out for use as a bassinet, and I was told it was also used as a car seat back then. As the child gets older that part is removed and it converts to a stroller. It also came with mosquito netting. I was wondering how much this would be worth? It is in very good condition, and I have all the original parts. If you can’t tell me about how much it is worth, and might know where I could go to have it appraised, in the Raleigh area of N.C. I would appreciate that as well, Thanks!!

I seen one on Ebay going for $175…just curious if that was about right? It is in very good condition, and I have all the original parts.

Six bucks.
Seriously — I don’t know, but you can get old prams for free. Rare they are not. Even truly “vintage” ones aren’t worth much, and the 1970s were not all that long ago — but def. long enough ago for modern parents to have safety concerns about the equipment.
Check eBay; you can find loads of decades-old prams/strollers going cheaply — even ones with widely-recognized brand names. I got a 1950s pram via Freecycle (www.freecycle.org if curious).
If you’re really wanting to get rid of it, put it up on eBay with a low starting price and no reserve, and hope a thirtysomething in your area sees it. The only appeal I can see a 70s pram having would be to a person who once rode in one.
