So we finally unpacked the baby stroller and got it assembled tonight, and quickly realized something-if I take the kid out in this, I'm going to have to hand in my man card. Granted, it's a pretty cool little machine-it packs up easy, and it even comes with the car seat built in. But, it's still brown with paisley green & brown upholstery. Anyone here have any thoughts to pimp it out?

Re: Pimp my baby stroller
Get some of those little Cragars they make for golf carts and put those on there for some bling. Get a couple of those NOS drink cans and mount those on the side of the cart like a motorcycle for the oomph. Finally, get a small 5 point Simpson seat belt and secure the kiddo with that. Bingo, instant street cred.

Re: Pimp my baby stroller
First of all, it needs gages. Where that round sticker is you could put the speedo - maybe a 200 blocks/hr top end? Also needs a decent sound system - Junior needs to be able to hold his head up high as he cruses with the Young Dudes (his homies). Any way to sew some flames on there? Seems like an interior guy could make that happen. No dubs, though. Been done to death.
Need any advice? I AM a trained professional grandpa and can provide needed input.

Re: Pimp my baby stroller
That stroller looks fine for the wife, but young man you are going to have to go yard selling and pic 1 or 2 with more manly qualities. I have a 3 wheel jeep stroller with wire wheels sitting around now, may be a little big for a newborn. Use a little diamond plate aluminum and some fresh silver paint for your yard sale find, see if you have a racing kart dealer around, with a bit of fab work you can add 4 racing wheels and tires 5''dia x 4.5'' wide usually with a 5/8 axle size, outside diamater of those wheels will only be about 10'', making them a pretty nice fit and it will roll 10 times better also. Good Luck

Re: Pimp my baby stroller
I'm not sure about the guages, and the "Winnipeg Roller Derby League" sticker apparently has to stay. I've found a spot that would be perfect for SS or Chevy emblems, and the wife actually wants to paint up the wheels in the shiniest silver we can find. We had a plan for the wheels that were supposed to come with it-Red with polished aluminum hubcaps and whitewalls-but instead we get the low-profile plastic meats. At least they're big & littles.
We're thinking of doing stuffed cow horns on the front (a la Boss Hog caddy) and eventually a diamond-plate back step for when we have a second kid. Guages might be happening, if I can find some old, busted ones that I can get disassembled & re-labelled. However, that NOS tank? Yeah, that (and a Simpson racing harness) are definitely happening, right after my next trip to 7-11.
