PUSHCHAIR Meaning and Definition

1. A pushchair is a lightweight and portable device designed for infants and toddlers to be seated and pushed by an adult or caregiver. Also known as a stroller or pram, a pushchair typically consists of a frame with wheels, a seat, and a handle. It is specifically constructed to provide a safe and comfortable way to transport infants or young children while walking or traveling.

   Pushchairs commonly feature a reclining seat that can be adjusted to different positions to accommodate the child's needs, such as allowing them to sleep or sit up straight. Some pushchairs also come equipped with safety belts or straps to secure the child in place and prevent them from falling or sliding out.

   The wheels of a pushchair are usually swivel or lockable, providing the caregiver with ease of maneuverability and control over different terrains. Many modern pushchairs also have additional features like storage baskets, cup holders, sunshades, and adjustable handles for convenience.

   Pushchairs are designed to be collapsible, allowing for easy storage and portability. This makes them ideal for travel or storing in vehicles when not in use. They provide a practical and convenient solution for parents or caregivers to transport their children safely and comfortably, whether it be for a short walk, a shopping trip, or a longer outing.
