"perambulator" is a perfectly valid English word. OK - so it's more often spoken in the abbreviated form "pram", but that is the correct English word for what it describes. A native English speaker (i,.e one from England) would have no problem with this - it's only those of you who speak foreign dialects that have the problem. (And you would be pretty much lost speaking the Scottish or Singaporean dialects of English I guess).
