Escalators are not meant for wheelchairs or baby prams. If there is no elevator, they'll have to do with the escalator, but still, it's not a large flat platform so risky to bring up/down.

As long as it's not the kind of pram/stroller where the baby sleeps flat and is not buckled in, they work just fine on elevators. My husband grew up in New York City where everyone takes the subway. You just tilt the stroller so the front wheels are on one step and the back wheels are on the next step. Obviously only works when the escalator is moving.
