A Walk in the Park

Our 'push-chair' arrived the other day. That's what I've been calling it anyway. W prefers 'stroller', which I quite like too because it somehow makes the prospect of parenthood 'a walk in the park'. 'Pram' doesn't quite describe it and I bet no one has said 'perambulator' since the 19th century. Of course, the manufacturer has its own way of describing their product:

 

A future conversation might go something like this... 

Me: I'm just taking junior out in the infant travel solution. We're going to the park.
W: Don't you mean the 'local recreation amenity'?
Me: Yes, that's the one, and I'm going to be very careful crossing the 'vehicle access routes' as I go. In fact, I'll keep to the 'pedestrian delivery mechanisms'.
W: Enjoy your perambulations!
