Vauvanvaunut

Vauvanvaunut, commonly known in English as baby carriages or prams, are a wheeled vehicle designed to transport infants. Typically, they feature a comfortable, enclosed or semi-enclosed space for the baby to lie or sit in, protected from the elements. The structure is usually supported by a frame with wheels, allowing for easy maneuverability. Modern vauvanvaunut often include features such as adjustable seating positions, storage baskets for baby essentials, and safety harnesses.

Historically, early forms of baby carriages were elaborate and often pulled by a child or servant. Over time, they evolved with the introduction of springs for a smoother ride and more practical designs. The term "pram" is thought to derive from "perambulator," reflecting their function of facilitating outdoor excursions with a baby. Today, a wide variety of vauvanvaunut are available, catering to different needs and lifestyles, including travel systems that integrate with car seats and all-terrain models for rugged use. The primary purpose remains to provide a safe, comfortable, and convenient way for parents and caregivers to transport young children outdoors.
