Prams have been widely used in the UK since the Victorian era. As they developed through the years suspension was added, making the ride smoother for both the baby and the person pushing it. In the 1970s, however, the trend was more towards a more basic version, not fully sprung, and with a detachable body known as a carrycot. Now prams are very rarely used, being large and expensive when compared with buggies (see below).

For more than one baby, appears the twin (one baby near the other) and the tandem (one after the other) pushchairs.

Pushchair was the popularly used term in the UK between its invention and the early 1980s, when a more compact design known as a buggy became the trend, popularised by the conveniently collapsible aluminium framed Maclaren buggy designed and patented by the British aeronautical designer Owen Maclaren in 1965. Buggy is now the usual term in the UK; in American English, buggy is synonymous with baby carriage.

Travel systems or 3-in-1

Travel systems typically is a set consisting of a chassis with a detachable baby seat and/or carrycot. Thus a travel system can be switched between a pushchair and a pram.

Another benefit of a travel system is that the detached chassis (generally an umbrella closing chassis) when folded will usually be smaller than other types, to transport it in a car trunk or boot. This 1931 Ford Model A features a separate trunk on its rear trunk rack. ...

Also, the baby seat will snap into a base meant to stay in an automobile, becoming a carseat. This allows undisturbed movement of the baby from the car to the stroller, reducing the chance of waking a sleeping baby.

Suitable from birth to around 3 years (excepting the baby carseat that generally is a Group 0 or Goup 0 ; see bellow).

Baby car seats

Baby car seats are legally required in many countries to safely transport children up to the age of 2 or more years in cars and other vehicles. Image File history File links Derived from public domain images featured at: http://commons. ...

Car seats should always be placed in a forward-facing rear seat if possible. If a car is large enough to have three seats in the back, then the middle position is generally considered the safest, as it provides space around the child in the event of a side collision or if the glass breaks in the windows^{[citation needed]}. Car seats have been found to cause severe and fatal injuries to the child when fitted in a seat with airbags. For the Mozilla crash reporting software previously called Airbag, see Breakpad. ...

In 2003, the American Academy of Pediatrics suggested that infants "“should spend minimal time in car seats (when not a passenger in a vehicle) or other seating that maintains supine positioning” to avoid developing positional plagiocephaly ("flat head syndrome") . ^[1] Supine as an adjective generally refers to any upward-facing position. ... Plagiocephaly is a type of cephalic disorder. ...

In 1990, the International Organization for Standardization FIX (ISOFix) was launched in an attempt to provide a standard for fixing car seats into different makes of car. The U.S. version of this system is called LATCH. While some manufacturers have started selling ISOFIX-compliant baby car seats there has been a long delay in agreeing the technical specifications and the standard is still yet to become widely used. Year 1990 (MCMXC) was a common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1990 Gregorian calendar). ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

There are several types of car seat depending on the position of the child and size of the seat. The United Nations standard ECE R44/03 categorised these into 4 groups: 0-3. Many car seats combine the larger groups 1, 2 and 3. The foundation of the U.N. The United Nations (UN) is an international organization whose stated aims are to facilitate co-operation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress and human rights issues. ...

Group 0

Group 0 baby seats or infant carriers keep the baby in a rear-facing position and are secured in place by a standard adult seat belt and/or an ISOFix fitting. Group 0 carrycots hold the baby laying on its back. This article does not cite its references or sources. ...

Carrycots, or car beds, are not as safe as the seat as they offer less support to the baby's neck in the event of an accident or sudden braking. However, a very young or premature baby may not have the neck strength to maintain an airway in a normal rear-facing infant carrier. Consequently, using a normal infant carrier for some babies carries an additional risk of suffocation. Physicians and hospital maternity departments are able to advise parents of the proper choice for their infant. Whichever is deemed the most appropriate initially, it is always true that newborns should never be left in baby seats any longer than necessary until they are old enough to lift their heads, and they should never be without adult supervision.

Carrycots are secured by both seat belts in the rear seat of the car. Both types have handles to allow them to be easily moved in to and out of the car.

Group 0+

Commonly have a chassis permanently fixed into the car by an adult seat belt and can be placed into a pushchair using the integral handle. Rear-facing child seats are inherently safer than forward-facing child seats, because they provide more support for the child's head in the event of a sudden deceleration.[1] Although some parents are eager to switch to a forward-facing child seat because it seems more "grown up," all countries and car seat manufacturers recommend that children continue to use a rear-facing child seat for as long as physically possible.
