I remember babies sleeping in strollers on porches. 50s and 60s and 70s in small towns

In the 1950's my Mother had a giant American perambulator with about eight inch wheels made of dark blue Naugahyde, including the proverbial black neoprene "rubber baby buggy bumpers."   It could hold two toddlers and an infant, which it did in our family.   I am sure Mom left it outside the store a few times in Gadsden, AL where I was born.

It got handed down to each of my Aunts and Uncles as needed through the years and was a slight nostalgia trip to see it stored at Grandma's house from time-to-time.

We were always put outside on the front porch to sleep. In prams, not strollers. Nowadays, forget it. I’m talking about the 50s....someone taking a baby never crossed anyone’s minds.
