what is the history of baby strollers?

Various methods of baby transport have been used across different cultures and periods and for different ages of child. Methods can be divided between wheeled devices including carrycots (North American English baby carriages) and pushchairs (North American English strollers); also into slings and backpacks, baskets, infant car seats and bicycle carriers. The larger and heavier perambulators, or prams which had became popular during the Victorian era were replaced by lighter and more flexible designs during the later half of the 1900s.

In 1861, the first baby stroller was made by Pedro Bear, mostly out of wood.

In June 1889, William Richardson patented his idea of the first reversible stroller.

In 1965, Owen Maclaren, an aeronautical engineer, worked on complaints his daughter made about travelling from England to America with her heavy pram. Using his knowledge of aeroplanes, Maclaren designed a stroller with an aluminium frame and created the first true umbrella stroller.

Since the 1980s, the stroller industry has developed with new features, safer construction and more accessories.

I hope this helps.
