    Hi,
    I have a real one from 1915. I can not tell if yours is old or a newer model. Used for pushing your kids when the sidewalks were not cleared.

    do you know the maker or anything? This one is old as well but I have no idea how to go about finding anything about it....

    Picture is blurry so it's really hard to tell online. Can you take clear, sharp photos and include the back?

    I found pictures of a baby sled/stroller by Kalamazoo that was on eBay that looks identical to yours. The pictures are online, but not on the auction site anylonger. It has the same hearts, decorations with "Baby" on the middle board of the back. Here are 5 images of it on Google search, all of the top row:

    and here is the auction for it on eBay minus the pictures:
    Scroll down the page to see the auction. It appears it didn't sell.

    Yours certainly looks to have a circle K above the word "Baby," the Kalamazoo logo. Here is history on the Kalamazoo Sled Co.

    Ohhhh! they seems to have been the first makers of the disc sleds! Gee, I remember when they first came out. Boy, was that fun!
