design decisions

I have mentioned before that I don't like strollers. The devices that Danes put their infants in are larger, more elaborate contraptions than what Americans do, and I prefer to call them prams. It sounds like something bigger and more substantial than stroller, IMO. Regardless, I don't like them much either. Even so, put aside the fact that I have no desire to own or use one and admit that some of them look kinda cute. This post isn't about the cute ones, though.

Seriously, am I the only one who thinks some of these prams look as if they were designed by the same people who make coffins and hearses? I wish I had a picture of one I saw being pushed around Hellerup this morning. It was baby blue, but they still managed to make it look like a wheeled baby coffin. What's the attraction to that? I don't get it.
