Stroller

Consumer Discretionary

A stroller, also called a pushchair, is a wheeled device used for transporting infants and young children, sometimes fitted with a cup holder or storage basket and built to carry more than one child. It replaced earlier prams and baby slings as a common way to move a small child while keeping the caregiver's hands free. The English architect William Kent is credited with an early version in 1733, a clam shaped carriage of wood, wicker and brass meant to be pulled by a small animal such as a goat. In 1889 William Richardson designed the first reversible stroller, letting a parent choose whether the child faced toward or away from them.
