Whilst baby carriages had existed in the world by the year 1899, none were manufactured quite like this one… African American inventor William H. Richardson created a child’s carriage that allowed the bassinet to face the person driving the stroller. It was the first reversible baby carriage with independent wheels, which meant the stroller could turn 360 degrees in a smaller radius.
