How to make (build) your own baby stroller

How to make (build) your own baby stroller.

At times do you wonder why most manufacturers can’t get it right (their stroller)? If you can customize your computer, make it as per your requirement, why shouldn’t you be able to “build” your own stroller? After all the design is so simple!

You just need to get these parts and put them together:

  • A Canopy
  • Storage Basket
  • Suspension/steering
  • Fold (It may not be so easy to design one that folds)
  • Seat
  • Snack Tray / Cup Holder

 

While making a stroller is not difficult, you can easily make a doll stroller, but for a real one, it needs to be tested thoroughly. After all, it will carry your baby.

So there are safety concerns with DIY strollers. Haven’t come across any video on YouTube that shows how to make a nice, sturdy, full size stroller.

Btw, there’s a German company called Teutonia where you can pick the chassis, the wheel style, the seating option and the patterns, and they would build a stroller for you. However, they seem to have stopped taking custom orders.
