You would have to take the child out of the pram whilst on the ride. You could leave the pram at the base station or fold it and take it with you. At the top you can buy sweets in their little shop, visit the pub for lunch, go to a small museum Bracken Hall Countryside Centre which has simple activities for children, go for walks, or walk back down a path to the base station. Near the bottom is the excellent Roberts Park and of course Saltaire.

I believe it's normally only Saturdays and Sundays, but I'd definitely phone and check before you travel. It's entirely operated by volunteers, so I'd guess they have to rely on having people available to run it at any particular time. (You don't have to book in advance, though.) And it's well worth a visit if you like anything querky or historical, hope you enjoy.
