Well it depends because everyone wants something different from a price, so you need to decide whats important for you then go to some shops and look at some.

We have picked an Emmaljunga pram as they are solid, and will be good for the winter. It also came with the pushchair attachement for when baby gets a little bigger.

We bought it in the summer sale for about €650, I think now the one we chose is about €790.

For used prams: try huuto.net

For new prams in Helsinki region: Lastentarvike, A&T Lastenturva, Vauvatalo Johanna, Suomen Lastenvaunutukku are all located in Varisto, Vantaa (by Kehä III). There's also Vaunuaitta in Lauttasaari (Helsinki).

Check: http://www.lastentarvike.fi, http://www.lastenturva.fi, http://www.vauvatalojohanna.fi, http://www.vaunuaitta.fi and you'll get a good picture what usually people buy.

Some hints: Remember to choose large enough wheels (due to winter & snow). Soft carrycots are handy and very popular nowadays. Try to think what would be handy with a 2-3 year old too, so you can use the same pram for the whole time (so the biggest isn't always the best, you'll get frustrated with the size later on).

Popular brands are: Emmaljunga, Teutonia, Brio, Hartan, Gesslein and Ora.
Not the cheapest ones, but good quality and reliable.

Teutonias, Hartans and Gessleins can be bought cheaper from German www-stores (delivered to your doorstep). (you'll save about 25% compared to Finnish prices).

I saw a pram for sale at Lähetystori in Lahderanta, Espoo today. I have no idea how much it was.
