"Yes, if within carry-on size" means the airline says a compact pushchair can come on board if it meets its carry-on limit, which we show. "Only if space" means it gives no size. "Not stated" means its pages don't give a cabin pushchair allowance. Size sorting uses the longest side. Even when a pushchair is allowed, there has to be room in the bin.
