If I'm 6 years older than my brother, I would say this object appeared in my daily life maybe when I was... 8? Yes, he would be probably around 2 when my mum got the design icon.
At the time I was already giving all the credits to simplicity, contemporary design and of course functionality. This object enhances absolutely all of them, doesn't it?
So, it was completely astonishment when I bump into it at MoMA. I couldn't believe I would encounter such memories in New York City.Don't you just love the white and blue stripes?
The seating was made of a kind of tight net with a plastic touch, and the structure was probably aluminium. I wonder if this was the very first folded buggy. Anyone knows?
Do you remember which object has marked your life and somehow still pops in your memory without expecting it?I wonder if I dig in my mum's attic I will find it. Maybe not. I'm much more precious about objects than anyone in my family, so when something is broken or no longer functional, they either give them away or simply recycle it.

I had one just like it! Don't remember if it had stripes or not but I know it was old and tattered when I got it. I see all these new mothers with their super buggies and shake my head and wonder how they can afford them.....my old, second hand stroller worked for me! Glad to see it in Moma....
I know what you mean, Susan. Parents spend so much money on kids stuff, it's like nothing can be replaced. In Europe the law for kids buggies and other similar objects make everything so expensive.
