Stroller Flags

8:28 pm - 05/21/2012
Shortly after my sis had her baby, we all (mom, dad, me, sis, and baby) went out to a home & garden show. My sister went to the bicycle shop beforehand and bought one of those orange safety flags that bike riders use, and put it on the stroller so we could find her when we all got separated from each other. Then we all started joking about how she should have different flags to fly, like the pirates used to, and well, next thing I knew she and I were at the fabric store buying fat quarters.



Ladybugs and flowers



Pirates! Side 1



Pirates! Side 2



And they do well in the breeze! Which I was worried about, but they fly really well.


ETA::
Here's a couple of pictures showing how the flags are attached to the stroller.

where on the stroller do you attach it?

The safety flag she bought at the bike shop came on a collapsible rod. Our dad rigged an attachment on the side of the stroller for it. Next time I see my sis I'll get a pic of it if you'd like.

Makes me wish I still had grandkids in strollers!The pirate designs would be popular around here in the next few weeks as the town celebrates with a Billy Bowlegs festival.People dress up as Pirates and re-enacts the capture of the town and then the surrender of said pirates when the town runs them off!

That sounds like fun!

Those are adorable! Hope they work well for finding each other again, because it's a very cool idea!

Thanks! We haven't tested them out yet, but I'm sure they'll work out great.
