Original caption

A century ago, baby prams resembled miniature carriages, crafted from wicker, wood and sturdy metal. Heavy, elegant and built to last, they reflect a time when craftsmanship mattered more than convenience. 🍼 From vintage prams to lightweight, foldable pushchairs, parenting has come a long way! #fyp #tiktokuk #History #parenting101 #thenandnow
