Fashionable

Another interesting photograph of a mother and child in air raid gear - the child was able to breath by the mother operating a bellows that passed the air through the filter and into the "Gasbettchen." The bellows could be operated by foot as well.

Very innovative. Sad that this would be necessary, but they thought of everything.

She's carrying a Gasbettchen (Gas Bed) for infants and even used for toddlers...This one is made through the 1930's-40's...A bellows pumped air though it as you see under her arm...
For older kids not yet aged enough to handle a mask there was the Gasjäckchen (gas jacket)...Same principle...

Still manufactured and available today for your baby or toddler...
