Perambulator

/pəˈrambjʊˌleɪtər/noun
ELI5 mode

A wheeled, often hooded carriage designed to transport infants and young children, pushed by an adult. Originally denoting a person who walked about surveying land, the word later came to describe the elaborate Victorian-era baby carriages that combined mobility with social display. Today it survives mainly in British English as a formal synonym for pram or stroller.
