In the 1930s, some families in London used “baby cages” attached to apartment windows so children could get sunlight and fresh air because many homes had no gardens or balconies.
It sounds insane today, but back then people believed fresh air was essential for a child’s health.
Just keep Junior inside on the days there’s a chance of a killing smog.
That’s one chunky baby
Why does this baby look 40?
you can still see these in some parts of brooklyn
Ah yes, that “fresh” 1930’s air in London.
Fun fact: ive never actually found a source about these things dislodge and falling.
If im remembering correctly, the reason they were phased out in London was because of the German airforce.
Free range children
I have a catio for this exact purpose
