Going For A Swing And A Stroll

If that’s the laundry basket, then where is the baby…oh sh–… – Ms. Fix-It

Yeah, it started innocently, a wire hanger, some paper cutouts. But it became an obsession, and soon I was hanging all sorts of crap from strollers to dining room sets to cars.
Scooting kids around the house in laundry baskets (just baskets, without wheels, even) is fun and entertaining.
Now collecting for this child’s psychotherapy.
so does this get pushed sideways or into the tree?!
I think there’s more to this; that’s the kind of stroller that has a removable baby carrier. I think that’s a trashcan or a laundry hamper in there.
I would totally do this. I don’t think I’d put in the front yard, but would definitely use this.
You would never fit in it.
I’ve been thinking. If we start with a full size store shopping cart, we might get something usable. hmmm
rolling dumpster ftw
Notice how the ropes are just the right length? The wheels are nicely parallel to the ground. It’s the attention to detail that shows the true craftsman.
Because the ropes attach at different heights to the stroller, there is actually going to be some funky rotation as that swing moves back and forth.
And when the bough, breaks the cradle will fall and down will come baby, cradle and all.
Speaking of which, I want to see where this kid sleeps. I’m guessing a handwoven hammock made of plastic grocery store bags. But tastefully done.
Ah ha! It’s not a swing, it’s a lettuce dryer! Put the washed lettuce in the basket, give the stroller a shove, and the funky rotation will get your lettuce nice and dry.
Lettuce not go there.
Part of me feels sorry for the poor kid who has to use that…and yet a larger part of me can’t help but want one.
the great part about this swing is that if the branch gives way or the ropes break, there’s a good chance the baby will roll safely into the street.

SAFELY into the STREET?!?
Does only Dogmeat read for comprehension anymore?
What about oncoming traffic? We’d be right back at square one.
But why did they bother to hang the whole stroller there? They could’ve just hung the laundry basket.
Old man Peabody was the law around these parts. The laundry basket stroller made a HUGE mistake trying to make off with socks and underwear from his home. The punishment for committing such a truly heinous crime? Public hanging.
Haha – This house is actually just down the street from me. Unfortunately I’ve never gotten to see it in use

-”Ah, you’re wondering about the basket?”

Hey, at least the rednecks thought to use something that has a seatbelt for the swing! (Assuming that ther edneck in question hadn’t cut it out.)
It’s actually an Asian family (Chinese I think) that owns the house, and the grandfather is the one who made it. The interesting thing is that the house was listed for $1 million when they bought it, so they must have the cash for a proper swing.
Actually, they built this with foresight towards their little waif’s future. They’re going to build a half-pipe that matches the arc of the swing, and the wee bairn can start getting the feel of snowboarding, trick biking, or skateboarding. They can already taste the multimillion dollar product endorsements 15 years from now………
Good good that’s hilarious!!!
I bet they put the cat in there and push him, crazy cat lady!

OMG – These are our neighbors across the street! I always joke that we should take a pic and post this on Failblog!!!! They actually put twins in the basket – back to back so they prop each other up.
Taking the phrase “tumble dryer” one step too far…
And down will come stroller, baby, and all…
