My BC's had large bearings for wheels and I used to wire tie old bicycle tyre sections to the front wheels for grip on the bitumen otherwise the BC would slide out of control around corners.

Also, a lot of prams ended up without their wheels.

One holiday stay at my grandmas, I built a billy cart after finding some solid iron/steel wheels with axles in my late grandfathers shed.
The rear of the BC did nice sideways drifts on the bitumen road as I turned at the bottom of the hill out the back.

Yep. An old pram donated the wheels and body. A spring supported a hinged timber brake in behind the front wheels. Also a hand brake working against a rear wheel. My street was pretty steep.
