Mobile Personal Valet

My design concept is what I am calling a Mobile Personal Valet.

After my daughter out-grew her stroller, my wife bemoaned not having a place to put her purse, drinks, shopping bags - anything that she didn't want to carry around all day.

My idea is to retro-fit an old fold-up stroller so that it can be used as a valet - whether shopping around the mall or touring at the zoo - to make carrying many miscellaneous items more convenient.

This what the base stroller looks like folded. It folds compactly and conveniently and is ideal for my design conversion. This is called an umbrella stroller because it folds-up like an umbrella.

Also pictured is the umbrella stroller unfolded. The Mobile Personal Valet will be attached to this frame and use the seat to bear whatever load you require carried. This particular model (per stroller manufacturer) will bear up to 55 pounds.

Top load nylon bag and velcro straps prior to assembly.

Here is a better view of the top closure of the bag and the velcro I used.

Marking where I plan to attach the bag to the frame, using the velcro straps. I marked with duct tape, as I intend to use it to reinforce the areas where the velcro straps will attach the bag to the frame.

Cutting 1/2 inch slits in the bag (through the duct tape, marked earlier) which will allow the Velcro straps to pass through.

Turning the bag inside/out and reinforcing (with duct tape, again) the back-side of the velcro strips as they pass through the nylon bag.

Nylon bag completely attached to stroller frame using velcro straps.

Re-attaching canopy that came with the stroller.

Could be useful to keep bags and other items dry.

This is the Mobile Personal Valet, fully loaded.

And yes, the nylon bag integrates into the original folding design of the umbrella stroller very well, with no adverse functional impact.

Done. Enjoy.
