Baby Carriage

The term pram was used to describe any wheeled vehicle used for carrying children. They ranged from small, hand-held baskets up to large elegantly designed carriages that could be pulled by draft animals. The prams were typically shaped like a shell and had a hood as well as a handlebar. In the 19th Century, prams were improved to make them safer for babies and their caregivers.

The difference between them isn't that significant, but pushchairs designed for older babies are more for longer walks and travel. They come with a more spacious seat that is often oriented towards the parent to bond and away from them to explore their surroundings. Many pushchairs come with a canopy with a storage basket, as well as the handlebar, which can be adjusted to meet the needs of an infant.

Convertible
