An example of a stroller used in Canada in the first decade of the 21st century. The stroller has been last used in early 2011. Strollers are often passed from one mother to another as long as there is no safety recall on the product. Mrs. Wielowieyski was at first reluctant to donate “a perfectly good stroller” to the Museum. She perceived it as a functional object that could still fulfill the purpose, for which it has been built and purchased. This is a very typical reaction among women approached to donate objects associated with motherhood to the Museum. It illustrates a cultural paradox. Child-rearing technologies are so important in women’s lives and are seen as functional and useful in everyday life. Most women do not focus on the cultural relevance of these objects. Rather than offer them to a museum to be preserved, women pass on technologies such as strollers and car seats to other mothers. When the objects are not safe anymore and therefore not useful, they are thrown away. Material culture depicting a crucial part of women’s life is therefore gone. This creates a void in the collections, especially in museums of science and technology. Un exemple de poussette utilisée au Canada lors de la première décennie du 21e siècle. Cette poussette a dernièrement été utilisé en 2011. Les poussettes sont souvent donnés d'une mère à une autre en autant qu'elle est en bonne condition et qu'il n'a pas de rappel de sécurité sur le produit. Mme Wielowieyski était premièrement réticente de donner une poussette en bonne condition au musée. Elle percevait la poussette en tant qu'objet fonctionnel qui a encore une fonction. Ceci est une réaction plutôt typique parmi les femmes qui considèrent donné un objet lié à la maternité. Ceci démontre un paradox culturel. Les technologies "Child-Rearing"** sont très importantes dans la vie des femmes et représente une fonction et une utilité quotidienne. Dans ces cas si, les femmes ne sont pas préoccupées avec la pertinence culturelle de ces objets. Traditionnellement, au lieu d'offrir certains objets à un musée pour être préservé, certaines femmes vont prêter des objets technologiques comme une poussette ou un siège d'auto à une autre mère. Lorsque l'objet n'est pas rendu sécuritaire, il est habituellement jeté. Ceci fait en sorte que la culture matérielle représentant une étape importante de la vie d'une femme disparait. Ceci crée un vide dans la collection de musée, spécialement dans les musées centré autour de la science et la technologie.
