I recently took my African husband into Mothercare in Norwich, to show him what is available for little ones in the West. He was delighted with the beautiful clothes (they were cute), but when he saw the prices of pushchairs he could hardly believe it. African women of course carry their babies on their backs tied on with a large cloth. I've often seen a heavily pregnant woman with a largish baby on her back, another led by the hand and a huge pile of things in a dish on her head, sailing along like a queen!
