How to make it yourself?

Many parents do not want to spend money on buying baby carriages for dolls, preferring to make the product with their own hands. You can make a stroller for a Baby Born doll and other dolls yourself from improvised material.

When creating, you do not need a complex connection and expensive material. All work is done with 19 mm MDF board. The parts need to be glued and additionally fastened with screws or bolts.

The auxiliary fasteners provide a sufficient level of strength to the products.

Sidewall creation

Sidewalls creation consists of several stages:

The beginning of work is to create the side parts. You can use a plain or lightweight 19 mm MDF board. You will need to cut 2 blanks for the side parts. The size of the parts should be 570–850 mm.
Then you need to fold both parts together, fixing them together with double-sided tape.
On a sheet of paper, you need to draw a contour template, which is further enlarged using the grid scaling method. In the future, the template should be glued to one of the sides of the blanks.
In the side parts, you need to create holes for the axes.
Then the sidewalls need to be cut along the contour using an electric jigsaw and the edges must be sanded. After that, you can remove the paper template.
To make it easier to remove the template, it is recommended to moisten the paper with solvent or use sanding.
The side pieces are divided and milled with a 3 mm rounding. Milling is done on both sides.

Creating the rest of the stroller parts

Other parts are created as follows:

Cut out the front and rear walls, as well as the bottom, according to the specified dimensions. Slopes must be cut at an angle of 20 degrees. The action is carried out along the edge of the long edge of the front and rear walls. Similar actions are performed along the short edge at the bottom.
All fillets must be milled around the top edge of the trailing edge.
Both walls are glued together and fixed with screws. The edge should be neatly aligned.
To create a handle, you need a wood rod with a diameter of 25 mm. The part is attached to the side of the stroller.

The end of the handle should be perpendicular to the inside of the side piece. The free end is also fixed with screws. The counterbore is glued into the plug-plug and sanded.
Then the lid is cut out. To create it, you will need to create roundings with a compass, the radius of which is 25 mm. A similar action is repeated at 4 corners. The cover is sawn out with a band saw and sanded. The fillets need to be milled.
The cover is leveled over the stroller and secured with clamps. Then you need to start drilling counterbores and guide holes through the cover into the side parts. To fix the cover, you need to apply an adhesive to the top edge of the front wall, as well as to the flat edge of the side piece. Then you can put the cover back in place and secure with screws. Plugs are inserted into the counterbore. All surfaces must be carefully sanded.

Making wheels

To make wheels, you need:

Cut four square blanks out of the MDF board. The size of the parts should be 114 x 114 mm.
On each square, circles are marked, the diameter of which is 114 mm.
Then you need to cut out the ovals with a band saw and sand the edges smoothly.
