Yes I remember in 1961 and 1967 putting the carricot on the back seat, wheels in the boot if going to see Mum. In 1967 we did have seat belts so it was fastened in.

Quoy, besides collecting them because you like them, do you do it for a reason? i.e. do you exhibit them? Do talks about them?

Many a time i put the carrycot on the back seat without it being strapped in.
Makes me cringe to think about it now! :-S

We still have our brown Silver Cross bought in 1976 which I got new wheels for when our grandson was born in 2009.

The wheels cost £30 each !

No prospect of any more family use foreseen, so it'll have to be sold in a few years.

Any bidders?

I have only shown them once ,transport being a difficulty .
I have been asked to show my dolls prams at Abbey pumping Museum Leicester in December .

I am now saving up for a twin pram from the 50/s if I find one as we now have twins in the family.


I also have a Gresham Flyer 3 wheeled bicycle with a barrow on the back from 1954/5 which I will also be taking.

Brian I have a brown Silver Cross with matching canopy and and bag.
I bought it a few weeks ago from a lady who had bought it to put her reborn doll in it , but she changed her mind when she saw the doll in it .

I had a special harness that strapped my carrycot body into the back seat of the car, altho I don't think there were seat belts in there (early 1980s but the car was 1974 Avenger. Of course when I stopped using the carrycot I had child seats fitted so my son was always strapped in safely. If he was sleeping in the Moses basket and I didn't want to wake him I would wedge the basket into the carrycot base in the back of the car and put the apron on it so he was pretty secure then. Well he survived the trips anyway
