'pushchair' originates from English, combining the words 'push' and 'chair', where 'push' meant 'to exert force on (someone or something) in order to move them away from oneself' and 'chair' referred to 'a seat for one person, typically with a back and four legs'.

'pushchair' evolved from the combination of the words 'push' and 'chair' in English, maintaining its meaning related to a wheeled seat for children.

Initially, it meant 'a chair that can be pushed', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
