Yes, as slang for ‘perambulator’, which is basically ‘stroller’


Not really a stroller is a pushchair.

A pram is a kind of mobile bed for babies.


Fair enough.

In my defence, I was coming at it etymologically, where (according to the OED), a perambulator is 'A person who walks or travels through or about a place' (hence 'walker') OR 'A carriage for a baby or young child, which may be pushed along by a person on foot. Now usually shortened to pram [...] a cradle mounted on four wheels'.

So 'mobile bed' is a perfect description
