This amazing innovation is a great example of the adage, "necessity is the mother of invention".

The Weevac 6, invented by Wendy Murphy in 1985, is a stretcher specifically designed for transporting babies. The name is derived from it's function, evacuating up to 6 "wee babies" at a time in adjustable, heat retaining pockets.

In 1985, while watching coverage of the immediate aftermath of the Mexico City earthquake, Wendy wondered why there was no device to evacuate babies in situations as these and thus, arose the Weevac 6.
