Carrying the child
Main articles: toy child carrier, Baby sling, and Baby car seat
A toy child carrier or baby carrier is a device used to carry an infant or small
child.
On-the-body carriers are designed in various forms such as baby slings, backpack
carriers, and soft front or hip carriers, with varying materials and degrees of
rigidity, decoration, support and confinement of the child.
toy child carriers
A toy child carrier (also called a baby carrier) is a device used to carry an
infant or small child. This can be on the body of an adult, or separately.
On-the-body carriers are designed in various forms such as slings, backpack
carriers, and soft front or hip carriers, with varying materials and degrees of
rigidity, decoration, support and confinement of the child. Slings, soft front
carriers, and "carrycots" are typically used for infants who lack the ability to
sit or to hold their head up. Frame backpack carriers (a modification of the
frame backpack), hip carriers, slings, mei tais and a variety of other soft
carriers are used for older children.
Although the carrying of children on the body using devices is a relatively
recent phenomenon in the West, the practice has been established in many
cultures for centuries. Images of children being carried in slings can be seen
in Egyptian artwork Devices for carrying children, not on the body, take
the form of "carrycots", although many cultures have produced portable cradles,
cradleboards, baskets, travois and other devices for making young infants easier
to pick up and set down quickly. The modern car seat infant carrier is a
relative latecomer.
On-the-body baby carrying in the west started being known in the 60's with the
advent of the structured soft pack in the mid 1960's. Around the same time, the
frame backpack quickly became a popular way to carry older babies and toddlers.
In the early 70's, in Germany, the wrap was reintroduced. In 1986, the ring
sling was invented and popularized. In the early 1990s, the modern pouch carrier
was created in Hawaii.
Pushable vehicles
An 'Odder' brand perambulator.They can be three or four wheelers.
Carriages and toy prams
A baby carriage (in North American English), perambulator (in British English,
perambulator is invariably shortened to toy pram) or carrycot is generally used
for newborn babies and have the infant lying down facing the pusher.
toy prams have been widely used in the UK since the Victorian era. As they
developed through the years suspension was added, making the ride smoother for
both the baby and the person pushing it. In the 1970s, however, the trend was
more towards a more basic version, not fully sprung, and with a detachable body
known as a carrycot. Now toy prams are very rarely used, being large and
expensive when compared with buggies (see below). One of the longer lived and
better known brands in the UK is Silver Cross, first manufactured in Guiseley,
near Leeds, in 1877, though this factory has now closed.
toy strollers and pushchairs
toy stroller Further information: toy stroller history
A toy stroller (North American English) or push chair (British English, also
sometimes buggy) has the child (generally up to three years old) in a sitting
position, usually facing forwards, instead of facing the pusher.
toy strollers for multiple infants include the twin (side-by-side) and the
tandem configurations.
Pushchair was the popularly used term in the UK between its invention and the
early 1980s, when a more compact design known as a buggy became the trend,
popularised by the conveniently collapsible aluminium framed Maclaren buggy
designed and patented by the British aeronautical designer Owen Maclaren in
1965. Pushchair is the usual term in the UK, but is becoming increasingly
replaced by buggy; in American English, buggy is synonymous with baby carriage.
Newer versions can be configured to carry a baby lying down like a low toy pram
and then be reconfigured to carry the child in the forward-facing position.
There are a variety of twin pushchairs now manufactured, some designed for
babies of a similar age (such as twins) and some for those with a small age gap.
Some brands that manufacture twin toy strollers are Maclaren, Peg Perego, Baby
Jogger, and phil&teds.
Triple pushchairs are a fairly recent addition, due to the number of multiple
births being on the increase. Safety guidelines for standard pushchairs apply.
Most triple buggies have a weight limit of 50 kg and recommended use for
children up to the age of 4 years.

Travel systems or 3-in-1
Travel systems typically is a set consisting of a chassis with a detachable baby
seat and/or carrycot. Thus a travel system can be switched between a pushchair
and a toy pram.
Another benefit of a travel system is that the detached chassis (generally an
umbrella closing chassis) when folded will usually be smaller than other types,
to transport it in a car trunk or boot.
Also, the baby seat will snap into a base meant to stay in an automobile,
becoming a carseat. This allows undisturbed movement of the baby from the car to
the toy stroller, reducing the chance of waking a sleeping baby.
Suitable from birth to around 3 years (excepting the baby carseat that generally
is a Group 0 + ; see baby car seat).
Infant car seats
Main article: Infant car seat
Infant car seats are legally required in many countries to safely transport
children up to the age of 2 or more years in cars and other vehicles.

car seats was set by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN ECE)
and its current (2004) version
forward-facing/rearward facing types
for which type of vehicle the system is designed
In 1990, the International Organization for Standardization launched the ISOFIX
standard[3], in an attempt to provide a standard for fixing car seats into
different makes of car. The U.S. version of this system is called LATCH. While
some manufacturers have started selling ISOFIX-compliant baby car seats, there
has been a long delay in agreeing the technical specifications. The current
version of the standard was published in 1999 and has yet to become widely used.
