I don't think you can go straight from pram to itinerant. That's like saying sun is a synonym for moon because they are both heavenly bodies.
That said, building off of itinerant...
Tramp

Hmm, I kinda agree - I can see Buggy > Pram > Stroller > Itinerant - there's just a skipped step. My own example of a step that might be skipped played off of a different pronunciation of an already posted word - 'Read' could be "reed" or "red"... Come to think of it, that's actually a rather rare connection, I'm not sure how many other words could be used that way.
Anyway, from 'Tramp' to:
March!
Be Well!

Funebre - Funeral - a procession and rites to bury the dead.

Mournful - Apparently, this is what 'Funebre' means.
Be Well!

Copper - British slang for a policeman.

Again, phosphate is not synonymous with a British police officer, but I'll keep going building off your definition...
Bear - a slang term for a US police officer, typically used by truckers and CB users in the 70s and 80s.
