Like in sentence : Spooked by September 11, he didn't want to live too high over the green outside, whose vibe is admittedly nanny and pram, "but not bourgeois like uptown can be and not too freaky like downtown can be," he said.

Upper Middle Class or higher in society. Established and comfortable. The' green outside ' probably refers to a park area where the local nannies take their charges for an outing in their perambulators (prams) during the day . Sort of a nice safe place to be.

Nanny is a care provoider who takes care of other people's kids. Sometimes the nanny will live with the family and care for the kids around the clock.
A pram is a child stroller.
I'm not sure how the terms are used in the sentence you used as an example.
Hope this helps.

a nanny is a nurse or governess and pram is a english baby carriage. So i would say he was felling like a baby or scared child.

IMO, it says he did not want to live like a person of wealth or great means, nor did he want to live like the bourgeois (poor/poverty leveled). He was hoping to live a middle income life.

nanny and pram = cozy,
it's a figurative language to describe something in different way
