Stroller

A stroller (pronounced: /ˈstrōlər/), also known as a baby carriage or pushchair in some regions, is a hand-pushed vehicle used to carry an infant or young child.

Etymology

The term "stroller" comes from the verb "to stroll," which means to walk leisurely. The name was first used in the 19th century and was derived from the action of the parent "strolling" while pushing their child.

Description

A stroller is typically designed with a comfortable seat for the child, a handle for the parent to push, and wheels for easy movement. Some strollers also come with additional features such as storage baskets, canopies, and adjustable seats.

Types of Strollers

There are several types of strollers, including:

  • Standard Stroller - This is the most common type of stroller, featuring a padded seat, safety harness, and storage area.

  • Double Stroller - These strollers can carry two children at once, either side-by-side or one in front of the other.
  • Travel System - This is a combination of a stroller and an infant car seat.
