Cybex Priam 2017 vs Priam 2020
The CYBEX PRIAM has been a stand-out in the pram world since it was first launched 2016.
It is elegant, refined and packed full of features. Behind the PRIAM’s classic, simple frame design hides a surprising variety of configurations and equipment options. In it you will find everything that a young family needs in the early years, both for everyday use and travelling.
In Australia, we have two models of the Cybex Priam available - the previous 2017 model and the current 2020 model. The overall look and silhouette of both prams is very similar. Most of the updates to the 2020 model are aesthetic, with a few minor functional differences. Overall, it comes down to your budget (we have some great runout deals on 2017 model), your desire for the 'latest & greatest', and preferences on colours & style.
