My sweet Mardie will be 2 on September 11. We are going to go to the fair that day, and we'll have a party next weekend but we gave him his big gift today! He literally drove it for hours. He had a hard time sharing with Charmie who wanted to drive just as much as Mardie. Charmie really impressed me though, he was patient, understanding that it was Mardie's presnt and Mardie's special day, he was a great big brother to Mar. Why is this on my craft blog you ask????
This particular power wheel doesn't have an adjustable seat, in fact it's designed for 3+. Do we follow age guidelines in our family for our toys? Most certainly not! We knew this was right for Mardie, Fisher Price did not however. I made an upholstered and contoured seat cushion fo him that pushes him forward almost 4 inches so that he can more comfortably reach the gas pedal. It's furniture grade polyfill foam batting. Very firm, very durable, weather proof. Just scratchy when not covered. I used leftover remnants from his feeding table seat cover fabric to cover it and some of that "sticky" shelf liner for the base so that it sticks to his seat and doesn't shift around. The neat thing is that it's easy to remove when he get's taller, or Charmie takes a ride.
