A hovering pram was a hovering device used for shielding younglings, providing protection and coasting peacefully. The device was a valuable tool for guardians with children too young to protect themselves.^[1]

The Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin found Grogu inside a pram on Arvala-7.^[2] When Grogu was attacked, first by bounty hunters and later by a Mudhorn, Djarin was able to move the pram remotely to protect him.^[3] Djarin continued to use it to transport Grogu until handing him over to the Client. When Djarin returned to rescue Grogu, he found the capsule discarded in a dumpster.^[4] Then decided to use it.

Returning to Arvala-7 to recruit Kuiil, Djarin used a hovercrate to transport the child. On board the Razor Crest, Djarin asked Kuiil to pad the container so Grogu could sleep better, but the Ugnaught offered instead to fabricate a better hovering pram himself. Kuiil's version retained the egg shape and closing cover of Grogu's original capsule, but was fashioned out of metal.^[5] Djarin used Kuiil's capsule to transport Grogu until it was ripped open by Koska Reeves so she could retrieve Grogu after saving him from a mamacore.^[6]

Sometimes after, Grogu received a new spherical pram, and used it while visiting High Magistrate Greef Karga on Nevarro.^[7]

Behind the scenes[]

A pram first appeared in the first episode of the 2019 Disney+ television series The Mandalorian, which aired on November 12, 2019, and was directed by Dave Filoni.^[2] After Filoni met Jon Favreau, the creator of the show, he was trying to figure out interesting moments for the pitch of the series. While being on a plane he sketched the first drawing of the pram, which featured Grogu inside a pram with a floating ball and the Mandalorian looking at him. According to Filoni, that drawing sold the idea of the show. Concept art of the pram was later created by Christian Alzmann, Doug Chiang and Ryan Church. The designers also considered keeping Grogu in a big hood instead, thinking that kids covered in big clothes look cuter, but they couldn't keep his ears in the hood. They also thought about making the pram a backpack to copy the effect of the hood, but decided against it, as they wanted the Lone Wolf and Cub quality of the pram.^[8]
