What’s a pram?

A pram is a stroller for a child, popularized during the Victorian era. Modern versions vary in color and fabric, with adjustable beds. Jogging strollers have high rear wheels and are easier to maneuver on rough terrain, but may be difficult to push with uneven weight distribution. Some prefer traditional strollers for closer interaction with the baby.

“Pram” is short for “pram,” which is essentially a stroller for a child. People in the UK may refer to the pushchair as both a pram and a pram. These first became popular during the Victorian era, and the typical carriage was black with high wheels, with a bed for the child to lie down on and a half blanket that could be used to protect the child from overexposure to the sun.

People can still find examples of the classic pram in modern strollers. They can vary in color and fabric, and many also allow the user to adjust the bed so the child can lie or sit. In fact, most prefer this adjustable capability as it extends the time the stroller is useful.

Often, a pram built on the older Victorian design will be quite expensive and can be used as much for status as it is to carry a child. A typical retro model can cost several hundred US dollars, while the average stroller costs much less.

A new type of pram is the jogging stroller. This usually has high rear wheels and has one instead of two wheels at the front. It can usually carry a child up to 60 pounds (27.21 kg) in weight and allows the person pushing it to jog or walk fast. There are also double strollers available which can be used for jogging pushing two children, either twins or of different ages.

Because the weight is on the jogging stroller’s rear wheels, it tends to be easier to maneuver and turn than the standard four-wheel version. However, a heavier child may make the stroller a little more difficult to push and turn. This is especially true when the weight isn’t evenly balanced, such as with two differently sized children in a double stroller.

Some jogging strollers are excellent for rough terrain, allowing new mums or dads to quickly get back into shape after a pregnancy or to keep their commitment to fitness alive. Some prefer a more traditional carriage and slower walk with a baby, as this gives the user more opportunities for conversation and also allows them to get a closer look at the baby’s moods.
