From the smart sidewalks of Belgrave Square to the teeming front stoops of South London's slums, an English baby is known by the carriage he keeps. Massive, super-sprung, often a flashy lilac in color, for the Mayfair nanny and the working-class "mum" alike, the Big Pram has become in postwar Britain a symbol of status akin to the automobile in U.S. oneupmanship.
