'''Basic Trope''': During a car chase scene, a baby carriage rolls into the path of the cars.
* '''Straight''': While Alice is pursuing Bob, a carriage holding baby Carol rolls out into the street
* '''Exaggerated''': Thousands of baby carriages roll out onto the streets, keeping both Alice and Bob from going anywhere.
* '''Downplayed''': A mother pushes her carriage quickly across the street; Alice can resume chasing Bob.
* '''Justified''':
** The mother was distracted by Alice and Bob's cars rapidly approaching and stopped paying attention to her carriage while it was on a slight slope.
** Alternatively, something happens to the mother during the chase, causing her to lose control of the baby carriage.
* '''Inverted''': A car gets in the way of a mother pushing a baby carriage.
* '''Subverted''':
** We see a baby carriage begin to roll into the street, but the mother comes and takes it before it can get too far out.
** Alternately, the carriage contains anything other than a baby inside.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...but then she pauses to catch her breath from the adrenaline spike on the other side of the road, where the baby carriage rolls back out into the street again.
* '''Parodied''':
** Alice invests in an automated carriage with a robot baby designed to roll out onto the street on command to make Bob crash or slow down. [[CrazyPrepared It's later revealed that she has one on every street.]]
** Alternately, the baby carriage is armed...And so is the baby. And the mom. And they're ''both'' working [[WeAreEverywhere for the bad guys]].
* '''Zig Zagged''': There are multiple chase scenes. In the first, no carriages are involved. However, in the second, a carriage carrying twins rolls directly towards the car. In the third, a mother loses control of her carriage, and Bob swerves automatically, but it ends up bumping a parked car and making the alarm go off.
* '''Averted''':
** No baby carriages appear for the entire duration of the ChaseScene.
** Alternately, one appears in the background, but isn't involved.
* '''Enforced''': "There aren't enough obstacles in your chase scene. Add something. Maybe a baby carriage; that's a classic..."
* '''Lampshaded''': "Why do I have the strange feeling that a carriage is going to show up?"
* '''Invoked''': Someone rolls an empty baby carraige into traffic in order to provoke an emotional response from drivers or passersby.
* '''Exploited''': Alice takes the mother and child hostage.
* '''Defied''': The baby carriage is ran over without a second thought.
* '''Discussed''': "Don't argue with me: I've been in a lot of car chases in my day. There's ''always'' a baby carriage."
* '''Conversed''':
** "How do people always manage to lose control of their carriages near speeding maniacs?"
** "I see the director's a fan of ''Film/TheUntouchables''." "Nah, this guy's really into the old films -- I'd say ''Film/BattleshipPotemkin''."
* '''Deconstructed''': Because of the incident, Carol's mother is charged with negligence and endangering the welfare of a child.
* '''Reconstructed''': The charges are dropped due to the unsafe design of the carriage, and she invests in a baby carriage with design features that prevent it from rolling away when unattended to. She shows up in a later episode where her carriage starts to roll away but the safety features stop it before it goes far at all, as a ContinuityNod.
* '''Played For Laughs''': The baby in the carriage is playing chicken with the cars.
* '''Played For Drama''': It is too late for Alice to avoid the baby carriage, and she drives over it and kills the baby inside, which becomes a major subplot in the work.
