Ok. I know this is definitely not the most brilliant custom in the world or anything, but I was fooling around this afternoon with not enough to do, and I was trying to make a harness for baby-wearing. This is what I came up with.

I asked Chris what he thought, and my loving husband said something like "It's ok as long as you don't look too close." >:(
:lol: I think I sort of have to agree with his take on it, but I didn't think it was that bad. :-[ Decided to share it anyway; maybe someone else will come up with a better way to do this!

I think its brilliant Bonnie ! How did you do it?
-
yeah!!! It is very cool! I think in fact is better that the yellow sling of the special 4619! This one is too bulky!
-
It's just plastic craftlace, the kind kids weave those little keychains out of. Does anyone know what I mean by that? That may be just a US thing -- I don't know.
I wanted this kind of harness instead of a sling because it's good for carrying the old style babies that don't bend in the middle.

Great idea bonnie, and I dont think the excecution is that bad. If you want to improve maybe you should do it with fabric and go for something like this?

It looks great, Bonnie.
I use the 3 feet approach. When it looks good at 3 feet, I'm happy.

Yes, I was thinking about doing that next. I was looking at this one, which is very similar. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3546629
The first one was modeled more after this one. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3359091 babies always look so cute in this with their little feet hanging out and kicking! Sorry. My feminine side is showing. :lol:

Great custom, Bonniebeth :)

I think these are what's know as Scoobies here in the UK
Damo :)

I looked it up, and that's what they are! I don't think they really have a name here, but scoobies sounds good.
-
What a great idea Beth, :clap: I think it looks great.
I have a load of these 'scoobies' in different colours to spare if anyone wants any!

Well, here's the latest version. This is the playmoby. :P (patent pending) fashioned after the moby. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4066960
(http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy289/bonniebeth2/100_5053.jpg)
It's very simple -- just a long strip of fabric wrapped around the klicky the way you would wrap a moby. Now I just need to find a better fabric scrap!
-
ah its cute :love:
-
:lol: I like both versions, but as I can't knit I'd plum for the first one.
Although what springs to mind when you asked about ideas is there's a blue figure 8 thing that holds a drum on a kid. Could you put it on an adult and put the baby where the drum is?
I'll look for part on DS :hmm:
ok there isnt a part no. but heres the set

Tha's a good idea but I don't think it will fit an adult unless you customize it cutting it or so.... I prefer the first one too Bonnie!

Yeah, that looks like a very useful part. i'd have to figur out a way for the baby to be a little more secure. maybe if I used two of them...
I guess that fabric does look like it's knitted when in klicky scale! it's really just a stretchy cotton fabric. I really don't like the look of it at all; I just didn't have anything else on hand. I need to find a better fabric scrap.

hello everyone!
I've always been looking for things we can use and still retain factory-made Playmobil :)
...so Bonnie, I prefer your first one!
I usually keep my customised klickies unchanged for years and every few years, for cleaning, I'd run them under the tap...so all parts have to be plastic and (Playmo-)shiny
I've never seen these 'scoobies' here :(
other than toy shops, where else can they be found you think?
and thank you Elaine/Skypurr, I will ask you for some if any of my samurais need them ;)

Thanks, cheng! :wave: I liked it because the string was plastic and shiny, too. I buy the string for the scoobies at craft or hobby stores. They're usually somewhere near the beads. They were all the rage when I was in elementary school, and they've recently come back in fashion.
