...and here is the toy car that moves

While Joe's parents were here 2 weeks ago they brought Patrick his very first car! We were all excited about it, especially the cool "roll bar" that it had on the back, behind the wheels. The bar seemed pretty poor design, though, since it actually did NOT prevent the little car from rolling up on its back. Also, it was too short to be used for the baby to pull itself up on. Hmmm....maybe the bar was just for an adult to carry the car around. Who knows. Here is a picture of the car:

Today, while browsings Craigslist, a smarty-pants parent who was selling such a car had figured out the car converts to a WALKER and the "roll bar" is the HANDLE! Of course I didn't need to buy the car, already owning one and all, but that just shows that it pays to browse craigslist now and then! Here is said walker:


At any rate, Patrick has been enjoying sitting on the car - he still needs to figure out how to make it move, Flinstones-style. Tomorrow we will try it as a walker, and I will be browsing craiglist to see what other multiple functions his toys have that we haven't figured out yet.
