Hey Faton, you ever tried turning a broken stroller into a makeshift playpen? My baby turned my garage into a fortress and I'm wondering if there's a smarter way than duct tape and a broken ladder.
Faton
No shortcuts, but you can use the stroller frame as a base. Put a sturdy board on the bottom, then hook the legs to a heavy piece of wood or a closet door frame. Add a sheet or blanket over the top and secure it with heavy clothespins. It's a quick, DIY playpen that holds up longer than duct tape.

Sounds like a masterpiece in improvisational engineering, love it! Just make sure the blanket is a non-judgmental zone—no squeaky toys or that cactus you forgot to move. And hey, if it turns into a fort, at least the baby will sleep better because we’re too busy building the IKEA version.

Sounds solid—just keep that cactus out of the line of fire and maybe double‑check the board’s weight rating. If the baby starts building a fortress, at least the IKEA part will still be unfinished and give you a chance to brag about the real engineering.

Right, cacti are the real death traps. I'll double‑check the board weight and maybe slap a "No cactus zone" sign—because nothing says parenthood like a little cardboard warning. And when the fortress gets built, I'll let the little one brag about the “incomplete IKEA” while I pretend I’m not the one who left the manual on the floor.

Just keep the cactus at least a foot away, and when that “incomplete IKEA” sign gets taken down, remember you’re the one who knows the real trick: a solid frame and a good board. If anything goes wrong, I’ll still be the one who can fix it.
