Antique Baby Strollers with Modern Safety Standards

The look of the antique baby stroller is quite fashionable. It is not unusual to see truly vintage prams commanding respectable prices on eBay and other resale shops. However, these originals do not have some of the safety and comfort features of modern models. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) advises parents to choose a stroller with care. Carriages should be designed with a wide base to prevent tipping, safety belts or restraints, brakes, and locking devices to prevent accidental folding. The Inglesina Classica Pram is for the traditional romantic that is unwilling to compromise safety and modern conveniences for their baby.

The Classica’s appeal is in its timeless elegance, a nostalgic glimpse at a bygone era. Inglesina has made this pram, almost identical to its current design, in an unbroken tradition for over 40 years. The design has been updated to meet today’s strict safety standards without compromising its distinctive English style.

Available in a few tasteful colors, the Classica is truly an exquisite work of art. Its handle is hand-crafted leather. It’s beautiful wooden bassinet is crafted by hand, adorned with hand-crafted tone-on-tone Italian embroidery and lined with piquet cotton. Its privacy curtains are made of real lace.

Yet, the company does not neglect modern safety and comfort. The pram has bar-linked suspension brakes on the rear wheels. It has a 5-point harness and a 4-position reclining back. The lining is detachable and washable. Inglesina also had the forethought to create a removable carry cot that can be substituted with a reversible buggy seat. This innovation allows one to use the Classica for many years, from a child’s infancy through toddlerhood. Certainly, its artisan craftsmanship alone makes it an heirloom that can be treasured for generations.
