A vehicle whose only passenger judges your driving by screaming.
means A wheeled chair for pushing a baby or small child around, especially outdoors.
from From 'stroll,' the verb for an unhurried, aimless walk, plus the agent ending '-er' — so a stroller is literally a thing for strolling. The word 'stroll' itself surfaced in 17th-century English, possibly from a German or Swiss dialect word like 'strollen' or 'strolchen,' meaning to roam or wander like a vagrant. The baby-carriage sense is a later American addition; the British, meanwhile, kept their 'pram,' short for the grander 'perambulator,' another word built on the idea of walking about.
