From the Life Magazine archives (1943):
Mother pushing baby in carriage made with wooden wheels, springs, brakes and handle due to metal shortages during the war.
The “springs” on this buggy aren’t what we usually think of as springs, of course. The entire suspension is made of wood; you can see it best just above the wheel at the right front, where the side cross bars connect with the lower chassis. The curved rod that is sticking out toward the ground is the brake, also made of wood.
