Word origin

The term 'pushchair' originated in the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century. Initially, it referred to a small horse-drawn carriage for young children. Over time, the design evolved to the modern pushchairs we know today, which are convenient and portable for parents to transport their infants and toddlers. The word 'pushchair' is a combination of 'push' and 'chair', highlighting its function of being pushed and providing a seat for a child.
