Im British and btw pram isnt a posh, fancy word for stroller. In Britain we dont use the word stroller our word for stroller is pushchair. Pram is an everyday word.

That's true. We haven't featured the Micro (that I'm aware of) but we have featured the Dazzle (www.babble.com/.../silver-cross-dazzle-stroller-not-black-is-the-new-black.aspx) and the absurd $950 doll carriage pram (www.babble.com/.../if-you-can-afford-this-silver-cross-doll-carriage-please-adopt-me.aspx).

I'm guessing it's only a matter of years before one of those shows up in J-Lo's house.

Just to give Silver Cross some well-deserved props, the company doesn't just make hyper-expensive fancypants prams. It also makes a Maclaren-type umbrella stroller called the Micro, which retails for about half of what the Maclaren costs and is every bit as well-made. We have one, and it's awesome. I'm always amazed at how few people know about this great little stroller.

Okay, this might be hard for some car-addicted Americans to understand, but people don't necessarily need their prams or strollers (they're different: see note below)to fit into their cars because (get this) we actually walk places with our children without using our cars. This can include trips to parks, playgrounds, friends' houses, errand-running, even trips to the grocery store if we only need a few items.

I'm sure Jenny (From The Block, don't forget) and Marc just pop the twins into their prams to go for a Starbucks run.

How are prams and strollers different? Prams (bassinet-style)are used for the first 5-6 months, strollers (seat-style) thereafter, once the baby is more self-supporting. BTW, Bugaboos are my personal preference because they convert from pram to stroller.

Pram is a short form of "perambulator." JLo and Madonna both have aspirations of becoming royalty. If they're not born into it, then they'll damn well buy their way in!!
