remember the stroller drama - (funny)

My friend dave and i went to MOMA and in one of the exhibits they had furniture, textiles, everyday items and design. So they had the "sling stroller" as i call it - the one I remember having as a child.

so this woman next to me with two kids is looking at the exhibit and the kid goes "mommy why is that such a tiny stroller" and mom goes "because mommies didn't have children like you back then who needed a bunch of crap to go along with them." I swear dave and i cried with laughter. Even the security guard was laughing so hard.

That is fantastic!

I love the modern design exhibit at MOMA. Great stuff

umbrella stroller - that's what they are called.

My sis had one when my 11 year old nephew was small. It was easier to get in and out of the car and to use when travelling.
She had the regular PegPerego stroller for walking around the neighborhood, or if we needed to use the basket underneath.
My mom had wanted her to get this :

Just like when we were babies.
Can you imagine taking that on a subway ?

OMG i remember the bouncy stroller too my mom called it a pram she used it when i was a baby baby and then i used it for dolls. WOW totally forgot about that one. That thing BOUNCED! Man how the hell did we survive?

Re: remember the stroller drama - (funny)

Hee hee. My mom used this in 1966 !

My sis and I are 17 months apart, so when she was an infant, sis went in the bassinet part and I got to sit on a seat that strapped across the top.

I had a mini version of the pram for my dolls.

i was born in 79' and my mom used it! then again she used a lot of handme downs when i was kid because my parents were struggling until I was 8.

Memories!
I had a stroller just like this when I was a toddler in the 70's!

We used to use it for our dolls too!
