A particularly amusing and relevant anecdote from twitter (both on [dated] and on 乳母車 -> ビーカー):
俺「今日さ、乳母車(うばぐるま)見に行こっか?」
奏乃「いや、いつの時代の人よ!」
ってな事で、今日は奏乃ちゃんとベビーカーを見に行ってきました
...

This backs up that it's both readily understood, and dated.
  Comments:
If you search for "baby carriage", which is also maybe dated in English but not quite as much as 乳母車 in Japanese , you won't find anything but this entry.

I'd rather not add "baby carriage" to the ベビーカー entry, but this at least tells people what to use instead of this dated term (if it doesn't occur to them to search for "stroller").

Based on google image results, it looks like fashionable wicker strollers (乳母車) may be making a small comeback in Japan.
