Discussion

The collection above, which is only a small selection from the wealth of designs available, indicates that there seems to exist a clear visual stereotyp for Baby Carriage: a side view of baby carriage. Many renderings just differ in some small details which may not be important concerning recognition and comprehensibility. Just a few images show a side view of a buggy, as buggies are compact-folding pushchairs that are much easier to store, hence there is much less need to offer special parking zones inside public transportation.

Some of the designs shown above elicit associations to eyes or glasses, so care should be taken concerning the design of the wheels.
