Sims 4 baby strollers are finally functional thanks to a new update from PandaSama.
PandaSama published Childbirth Mod 1.97 on August 28, 2026. The current attached build is version 1.971.
The headline feature lets players place newborn babies into a stroller and actually take them for a walk.
PandaSama’s official Patreon confirms the August 28 release and the new v1.971 file.

Sims 4 Baby Strollers Actually Work
These aren’t simply decorative stroller objects.
The new stroller can hold a newborn in a similar way to a bassinet. Players can then push the stroller and take the baby for a walk.
To use one, players can select the stroller and move their baby into it.
Updated v1.971 translation documentation also lists four colour variations for the stroller.
That gives family-focused players something The Sims 4 itself still doesn’t offer for newborns.
And, naturally, it has already made us wonder why functional strollers aren’t part of the official game.
The Update Includes More Than Strollers
Childbirth Mod 1.971 also includes a few smaller improvements.
The updated changelog lists a new option to permanently rename babies through a Shift-click interaction.
PandaSama has also changed the ultrasound machine.
Pregnant Sims expecting twins or triplets should now see different images on the ultrasound screen.
The update also fixes an issue with the Move Baby interaction. Previously, it could fail unless PandaSama’s separate Drama Generator mod was installed.
What Is PandaSama’s Childbirth Mod?
PandaSama’s Childbirth Mod is one of the largest pregnancy and family gameplay mods available for The Sims 4.
It expands pregnancy and birth with features such as ultrasounds, hospital births, home births and birth partners.
Over time, PandaSama has also added systems covering postpartum gameplay, nursing and more detailed family experiences.
The mod requires The Sims 4 Get to Work.

The project’s scope has grown considerably over the years. The new stroller system is another example of PandaSama adding family gameplay that doesn’t currently exist in the base game.
Is Childbirth Mod 1.97 Free Yet?
There is one important detail.
PandaSama’s August 28 Childbirth Mod 1.97 Update post is currently locked behind Patreon membership.
The public page confirms the update and shows the v1.971 download attachment, but access currently requires joining PandaSama’s Patreon.
PandaSama also maintains a public Childbirth Mod download page. At the time of writing, that page still lists the older v1.965 build.
So, players looking specifically for the new stroller update should check PandaSama’s official pages for its latest availability.
Strollers Are a Small Feature Players Have Wanted for Years
Family gameplay remains one of the biggest parts of The Sims 4.
Yet newborns still spend much of their early life attached to bassinets.
Functional Sims 4 baby strollers change that in a surprisingly significant way.
Instead of leaving the newest member of the family at home, Sims can now take their baby outside with them.
It may be a mod rather than an official Maxis feature, but PandaSama has once again managed to add something that feels like it should have been in the game already.
