When was the baby carriage invented?

The invention of the baby carriage is a bit more complex than a single date. Here's why:

* Early versions: Carriages for babies existed long before the modern baby carriage. People have been carrying children in various forms of cradles and carriages for centuries. For example, there's evidence of a type of baby carriage in ancient Rome.

* The "modern" baby carriage: The first recognizable modern baby carriage with wheels and a foldable design is often attributed to William Kent, an English inventor, in 1733. However, there's debate and evidence suggests that similar carriages were used in Europe earlier than that.

* Further development: The baby carriage continued to evolve over the years with improvements in design, materials, and features.

So, there isn't one definitive date for the invention of the baby carriage. It's more of a process of evolution from early forms to the modern version we know today.
