Prams and Strollers are wheeled devices used widely by parents to carry children. Although ‘Prams’ and ‘Strollers’ are often used interchangeably, there are many differences between a Pram and a Stroller.
A perambulator or a ‘pram’ is a wheeled baby carriage that is designed such that a baby can sleep or lie in it. It has a reclining, flat bottom that allows the baby to sleep comfortably while the parents can walk around with them. Prams also have a canopy attached to protect infants from the weather. It’s ideal for newborns as this position can ensure healthy breathing and the development of the lung and spine. But after six months, when the baby can sit upright, the pram may be of limited use.
A stroller, on the other hand, is designed such that a baby can sit upright and is pushed around in it. It is also known as a pushchair or buggy. The seats on a stroller are also provided with a harness, safety belt, and crotch strap; this helps secure the sitting baby's position. Strollers are meant for older babies and toddlers who can sit upright. It also comes with a hood or a canopy.
The main difference between a Pram and a Stroller is in the position of the seat. However, most prams and strollers nowadays come with positioning options from fully reclined to semi reclined and upright seat positions. Stroller models with reclining seats are called convertible strollers. They are very popular among parents.
