Initially using castoff horses and even mules to draw their chimneyed living wagons, the Romanichal gradually created a breed of horse known variously as the Gypsy Cob (NZ, UK), Gypsy Horse (AU, US, UK), Coloured Cob (Ireland, UK, parts of continental Europe), Gypsy Vanner (CAN, US), Tinker Horse (parts of continental Europe) and Irish Cob (Ireland) to do so. The heyday of the Romani caravan was the latter part of the 19th century. Originally Romanichals would travel on foot, or with light, horse-drawn carts, typical of other Romani groups or would build 'bender' tents so called because they were made from supple branches which they bent inwards to support a waterproof covering. Prior to that, they travelled in tilted carts or afoot and slept either under or in these carts or in small tents. The Romanichal began to live in vardos around 1850. Wagons' exteriors can range from fairly plain to intricately carved, painted in bright colours, and sheathed in places with gold leaf. A bracket for an oil lamp is mounted over the chest of drawers opposite the fireplace the chest's top functions as a table. Some types have clerestories which let in light and air.

There are windows on the left side and rear.

The wagon's interior is typically outfitted with built-in seats, cabinets, a wardrobe, bunks in the rear of the caravan, a chest of drawers, and a glass-fronted china cabinet. A caravan's chimney is always on its left side as viewed from its front doorway as the caravan travels along the left side of the road, the chimney is in less danger from low-hanging tree limbs in that position. A cooking stove necessitates a chimney to vent smoke. The small cast-iron cooking stove was invented in America and was available there and in Great Britain from about 1830 on and is a common fixture of the wagons. By the mid-1800s, the designs were almost entirely standardized, and some features are common to all types. The roofs of the bow-top and open-lot types are canvas stretched over curved wooden frames the others are roofed in wood. Beyond this characteristic, the six types of caravans differ in shape, size, placement of the wheels relative to the bed, where made, and maker. The quality is amazing so it can definitely be used for a few more babies.A vardo's design includes large wheels set outside the body, whose sides slope outward considerably as they rise toward the eaves. We have just bought a bigger footmuff for this winter because our daughter is now too tall for this wonderful Red Kit one, but we have put it away for any future siblings. The Red Kite Newborn car seat footmuff seems so comfy to sleep in, that my husband kept saying over and over that he wanted one in adult size for himself! On warmer days you can just take the whole front bit off and use the back as a nice liner - very clever! It has a bit that folds over that you can fold back up to protect your baby if it’s really windy outside. This footmuff is really nice! The padded fleecy inside is extremely soft and cosy and the outer layer is water-resistant and will keep your baby warm and dry. We mainly used ours as a sleeping bag in our carry cot, both in the house and when we were out.

It’s made for baby infant carriers/car seats and will fit most brands with its 3-point harness slots. For the first 6 months of our baby’s life we used the Red Kite Newborn car seat footmuff.
