Another point of difference between NZ and Australian English.

What I knew as a "pusher" when growing up in Melbourne is a "push-chair" in New Zealand.

My children rode in a push-chair when little; we never had a pram. I think they were mostly relics by the 1990s. Nor did we spend hundreds of dollars buying, yes, one of those huge "buggies" the Joneses started barging their kids about in during the 1990s and still do today. They need an SUV to put them in (the buggies not the children!).
