There’s an easy way to fix broken foam handles on your baby gear, just use Mueller Sports Tape (or cork tape) – it’s an affordable and easy solution to repairing your handles.

Mueller tape has many uses, is of great quality, and comes in great colors (though I prefer black). It tears easily and sticks just enough. The tape comes in a ziplock-type bag for easy and clean storage.
