what’s the best brand of luxury designer baby strollers right now?
As a new or soon-to-be mom or dad, you’ve got a lot on your to-do list. Among the top items to check off between setting up the nursery and securing a pediatrician? Finding the perfect stroller.
But believe it or not, strollers haven’t always been considered a necessity.
baby strollers are a reasonably recent phenomenon
For most of human history, mothers simply carried their infants. Around the 18th century though, European aristocrats who rode around in carriages decided that their children required luxurious rides of their own. Designed to be pulled by servants, dogs, small ponies or even in some cases, goats, these tiny carriages were just as ornate as the ones their parents used.
It wasn’t until the Victorian era however, that the modern stroller as we know it came to be. As cities became more crowded, wealthy parents looked for more practical ways to transport and protect their children. The result became known as a perambulator. Prams quickly became a status symbol amongst the wealthy. Queen Victoria was one of the most well-known owners, using them with each of her nine children. And while in many cases the overall styling of the pram has changed since the days of Queen Victoria, the concept has not.
Strollers are still amongst the most practical and safe ways to transport your new bundle of joy. And with everything from clever storage spaces to futuristic pod-like seating to models almost as tricked out as cars (and in some cases even made by luxury automotive brands), the stroller has come a long way, baby.
