So my middle girl, Victoria, came to me on the weekend and was crying. I asked why, and she just showed me her broken stroller. Since all of our kids are a year apart for Christmas we thought it would be a good idea to get Victoria her own stroller since her and Elizabeth love the one stroller we had. We didn't want a plastic one, and wanted one similar to the one we had. Well not wanting to spend another $60 on a stroller and all the accessories we found the stroller for $6. We got it and she loved it. Well while pushing her potatoes around, yes I did say potatoes, the material just ripped and there was no longer a seat for the potatoes or dolls to sit. Tonight I grabbed some material I haven't packed up yet and away I went. She went nuts when she seen it. I still have some material left so matching diaper/handbag to come. I think though I might add some side Velcro bands so that it doesn't fold in.
So for all you that think once a toy is broken, just think how you can recreate that toy. The material I used I think cost me a whole $2. There was nothing wrong with the structure, just the material was crap and the stitching didn't hold at all. Could have to do with my Victoria and her potatoe babies.
