A pram is a small four-wheel cart for a baby, built so the baby can lie down in it while a grown-up pushes. It is the ordinary British word. In American English people more often say baby carriage, or they just say — though actually a (British: ) is usually for a baby who can sit up; a classic pram is more like a little bed on wheels, with a hood. People in the UK still say pram a lot, even when the real cart is a modern mix of the two. It is a family word, not formal and not slang.
