I don't know what the collective name is for a group of prams but these are described as fashionable, I understand.

'Pram' in Norwegian is a flat bottomed boat.
Somehow I don't think that this fisherman's pram would have floated very well.

Now it's time to 'ooh and aah' for Doris Turnbull.

What a cutie in that last picture. As usual an interesting gallery with your different interpretations of pram.
The fisherman's pram makes a good laundry basket. Or better yet, a net for capturing the big fish.
Aaaww! Love the one of your son. Does he know you've posted up his photo for all the world to aaaww! at?
What a cool adventure through Pramville (especially the store window is it?) as always your light-hearted humor makes my viewing pleasure so enjoyable!
I like the rickshaw-shaped pram from Assam, but the flattish-bottomed is most elegant. I rather fancy going for a ride in that. I nice collection of images, thank you.
Interesting what the word "pram" refers to. Very interesting post and also Oohs and Aahs.
Interesting, particularly the flat bottomed boat. Of course in Ontario the word is baby buggy, they look at you in puzzlement if you use the word pram.
We don't use the word "pram" here either. We have "strollers" and "buggies."
I guess by using the word 'pram' I was showing my age. The variantion of meanings in English English and American English are immense and not just for 'prams' and 'buggies.' A buggy to me is a golf cart!
Rosalind, I'm waiting to see if my son reads this post I know he does occasionally check out what the 'old man' is going on about.
Just goes to show how interpreting a theme can make us wander off :-) The Westie is cute, but my favourite is the one of your son in his pram :-)
Loved your choices! Your baby is darling and the puppy does look content as he enjoys the day without needing to put in much effort.
Thanks for showing us the interesting Z castle choice too. Z's are hard. Luckily, I had a picture of a zebra (in your case the zebra would have had to live in the castle?)
Have a wonderful week!

I enjoyed seeing your assortment of prams. I'm a sucker for dogs and babies, so those were my favorite.
They are all great photos.
Actually, the norwegian pram is what might elicit an "ooh" on my part...

Well if I ever get to Norway I will now know one word. Lol.
I agree with Wendy. I thought the fisherman's pram looked like a laundry basket.
I can just imagine the fisherpeople lovingly making that pram. You certainly have run with the theme here on an unimaginable variety of pram all ended on a note of cuteness.
Your collection made me laugh. Such different types of prams!
Thanks!
A very elegant turn on the theme, Bob. Perhaps the word for a collection of prams might be a "pride of prams"?
I rather like the fisherman's pram. He must have been a small fisherman.
