The Baby's Go-cart.
'"There lies before me the*>pinion of
some twelve of the best-informed physicians on the question of the go-cart,
and without exception they condemn
its use for a child under two years of
age," writes Edward Bok, in the December Ladies' Home. Journal, pointing
out the ditngers of the "go-cart" for
babies. "As every one knows who has
seen this new perambulator, it is practically tbe old baby cart cut in halves.
The child's legs dangle over an abrupt
edge, anl his back is supported by a
perfectly straight rest. It is, in reality, nothing more than a chair on
wheels. The child is forced to take an
upright sitting position, instead of
being able to assume that recumbent
posture which the old carriage allows.
Tne child cannot lie down in the go-
cart, and therefore during his entire
outing he is compelled to-agsume a fatiguing position, and to depend upon
unaided muscles for support at a time
ofl'fewhen the back easily becomes
tired. The result is that no invention
recently created is more clearly or directly inducivebto spinal curvature."
