A baby carriage is designed for transporting newborn babies. It is made up of a baby cot with an overhead shade, a push handle, and a set of wheels. The baby is laid down on the cot facing the handle, allowing the mother or caretaker to easily see him/her. Baby carriages are now rarely used since it is generally large, expensive, non-retractable, and easy to outgrow. Those who are interested in buying one will be glad to know that the latest baby carriages are now better and safer. Most models have been equipped with suspension to make the ride smoother for the baby.
The traditional baby carriage is large and bulky to accommodate the baby comfortably. The baby cot is permanently installed in the carriage or push cart. The wheels are usually big for shock absorption.
Detachable baby carriage
This type of baby carriage has a detachable baby cot (carrycot), which can be used inside the car as a baby crib. It usually has a retractable push cart for easy storage in the trunk of the car.
