Stroller

What is a stroller? Will most Americans think of a baby carrying thing on wheels where the baby sits upright, or where it lies flat inside it? I'm interested in the latter. Could I use "pram" to make it more clear or is that not used in the US?

com/hello-baby/best-strollers "Stroll" refers to the adult who is strolling (walking leisurely). Pram / perambulator is British English. Baby carriage is a bit old-fashioned, and older people will imagine a vehicle where the baby is prone.
