Strolling Down Memory Lane

When my mother was a baby she was pulled around in this baby stroller. The leather restraining belt has long since disappeared but the rest of it is in rather good shape. The tiny rear wheels are metal. Mom is the same age as the Queen of England.

Wow! Love the POV in this!

Amazing stroller. And is this the same one your mother had? I'm amazed about it. Thanks for sharing it.

[Tracey H-N]

What a treasure ! Both your mom and the stroller. I adore the Queen.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

oh wow. A baby rickshaw. haha This is so cool

[Rick Schies]

A very neat stroller. At first I thought it was an old wheelchair

[Cheryl Sim]

That is incredible and amazing you still have it. I can imagine The Queen was probably pulled around (by her nannies certainly not by Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon) by the exact same design. What a lovely entry for nostalgia!

[J. Voorberg]

Would never pass today's standards..how did they manage to survive???

[Tara]

That's amazing that you have this and it's in such good condition. Great shot and info Katy!

[Vee]

Oh wow! Amazing piece of history!

[Marc]

Ha, who's memory?! A well preserved piece.

[Maggiemae]

A real antique to still have this to photograph! Not that your Mom is antique! I would imagine it would be quite noisy over the cobbles!

[Leslie]

looks like a wheel chair...

[Vee]

How cool is that?! What a wonderful family heirloom!

[Jackie greenfield]

Love this :-)

@digitalrn @lesip It does look like an old wheelchair with those steel wheels in the back,.

@deburahiru Thanks, Deb. I tried to figure out the best way to show the details. Glad you like my choice.

@anazad511 @traceyhn @silverlight @maggiemae Thanks so much. I feel the same way and appreciate your comments so much.

[katy]

@espyetta LOL! I had never thought of it that way before!

[katy]

@jayberg So true! I often think of things like that!

[katy]

@tara11 Thanks, So much, Tara. I really treasure it.

[katy]

@vskolnik @jmrittle @jacjacs68 Thanks so much for your nice comments. Vee I appreciate both of your comments.

[Darlene]

I thought it was a wheelchair. Love it and nice to have this piece of history.

[katy]

@darsphotos Several people thought the same thing! Thanks Darlene .

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Quite a contraption!!!!! Just love that you still have it and it looks in working order too.

[katy]

@ruthmouch Thanks. It does work except for the safety belt. This is that pack rat thing again.

[PasadenaRose]

Oh my goodness! What an interesting stroller and a fantastic piece of family history. It's so wonderful that you still have it.
It doesn't look very comfortable, though. I'm hoping there was once some padding on the seat. ;-)
It doesn't look very safe either. It's amazing that people survived their childhoods back then!

[katy]

@pasadenarose There was a safety belt of leather that has long since worn away and I am sure the babies were bundled up in lots of blankets before they were put into these strollers. It is a treasure for me to still have this one of my mother's.
