Proposition 1. Young children are often transported in wheeled conveyances - prams and pushchairs. These are propelled by the pushing action of the caregiver.
Proposition 2. Cheap lawnmowers can be propelled by the pushing action of the gardener, but superior lawnmowers have driven wheels powered
by a Briggs and Stratton or similar 2 stroke petrol engine.
Proposition 3. Regular soothing noise can lull the child to sleep.
Corollary. A specially designed pram / pushchair has a built in 2 stroke engine and gearbox to drive the rear wheels. Controls can be mounted on the handle as usual.

Just one of the fantastic array of characters created in "The Beano" comic. His pram also had sail-assisted propulsion. [DrBob, Jul 01 2021]

The Youtube link is merely a gimmick, not a practical method of transporting an infant at walking pace. |

//Regular soothing noise can lull the child to sleep// Surely using a
steam engine for pram propulsion would make a more soothing
noise? Older siblings will also enjoy shovelling coal into the firebox |

Have you HEARD a 2-stroke? That's not a "soothing sound",
more "wake the dead". |

Fumes will be great for the child! Perhaps a 2 stroke
compressed air engine running on NO2 for the added
benefit. The fumes would certainly make the little critter
snooze. |

Effective for drowning out the baby’s screams of
terror and the fathers furious fuming. Simpler to
opt out of parenting and raise goats. |

I think the video is a pramk. |
