The "health cage", as it was initially called, was invented by Mrs. Robert C Lafferty to provide babies with fresh air and sunshine while living in crowded cities.[1] HistoryIn the early 1900s, many open air schools were built as an attempt to combat the widespread rise of tuberculosis. The belief that open air and ventilation were key in fighting the epidemic, inspired the creation of baby cages. Eleanor Roosevelt wrote in her autobiography that in 1908 she had placed her daughter Anna in "a kind of box with wire on the sides and top" out of one of her back windows during her morning naps. She writes she did so because fresh air was necessary.[2]DesignAlthough the materials differed, the general design was the same. A mesh cage allowed air and sunlight to pass through while preventing the child from falling out to the street below. Some designs incorporated roofs in order to shield the child from snow, rain, or debris dropped from above.[3] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Put Your Baby in a Bird-Cage|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/30053090/put_your_baby_in_a_birdcage/|newspaper=The Times Dispatch|date=September 14, 1913|page=53|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = Mar 29, 2019}} 2. ^{{cite book |last1=Roosevelt |first1=Eleanor |title=The Autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt |date=1961 |publisher=Harper & Brothers |location=New York |page=60 |chapter=A Woman}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=A Fresh Air Cage for the Baby|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/30053283/a_fresh_air_cage_for_the_baby/|newspaper=The Post-Star|date=July 31, 1923|page=12|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = Mar 29, 2019}} Further reading
