These factors killed 16 women in a day. Two women died during childbirth and their families took a legal action against the Government of Uganda.

Ernst VikneWhen prams (perambulators) were invented, doll prams were sure to follow soon after since it's well known that young girls love to copy their mothers. People of most cultures carry their babies in some kind of sling around their front or back, but it is known that baby perambulators date back to ancient Greece. It is not known whether Greek girls had smaller versions to be used as doll prams, although it's highly likely.
The word 'pram' comes from the Anglicized Latin word 'perambulator', which comes from the Latin 'ambulare', meaning 'to walk.' One of the earliest prams in the West was developed by William Kent in 1733 for the Duke of Devonshire. Prams then became popular among the British nobility and Queen Victoria ordered three for her household. It's thought the the first real doll's pram was made by a worker at a pram factory in England between 1853 and 1880 for his daughter.
