Modern manufacturers offer various strollers: large and compact, bright and in restrained colors, strict and original. But even the most modern models can be found in mass sales, which means that you will hardly be able to buy an exclusive vehicle for a baby. How to make your stroller unique? A fashionable detail - a registered license plate - can help you with this.
What it is?
The number for a stroller resembles a common car attribute. Standard models have the same light background, dark edging and sizes 220 x 65 mm, 260 x 80 mm or others that are close in value. On the left, the name of the child is written in abbreviated or full form, and on the right - numbers selected at random, as well as the inscription RUS with a small tricolor icon. Included with the number are fasteners with which the plate is fixed on the stroller.
Usually, plastic is taken as a basis for making a number. The letters are printed with special wear-resistant and bright colors. The last layer is a protective film, such as vinyl. It protects the plate from harsh climatic conditions - rain, snow, wind and sun.
Such a product is attached to plastic harnesses and double-sided tape, thanks to which you can easily remove the number when necessary, without spoiling the appearance of the stroller. Some parents prefer a more secure method of fastening: using a thin ball chain or even self-tapping screws. The price of such signs fluctuates within a few hundred rubles, but you can also find more expensive models costing over 1000 rubles.
At first glance, this accessory has a purely decorative purpose. In fact, it also has some useful features.
Benefits
What are the advantages of using a license plate for a stroller? Consider the benefits it provides to parents and toddler.

- This prevents relatives from confusing their stroller with others when they come to pick up the baby from the children's event. Also, if a child's transport is lost, the license plate is a bright identifying sign that will help you find the stroller among others.
- If the number has a reflective coating, your evening walks with your child will become safer - it will make the stroller or children's bike visible to drivers.

Design features
Stroller plates can have a much more unusual design than car plates. Creative execution involves a variety of colors, fonts and materials, as well as the use of photo printing. It can be used to create a background or represent a picture on a plate. Some parents want to see photos of their baby on the sign, others - cartoon characters. For example, popular today Smesharikov, Masha and the Bear, etc.
Signs for boys are often decorated with male animated characters, for example, The Lion King, SpongeBob, Bugs Bunny, or just cars. On the plate for girls, "cartoon" beauties such as Rapunzel, Snow White, the Little Mermaid, etc. are appropriate.
The number may not have a name written on it, but an affectionate nickname, which is often used in a family for a baby or a funny slogan, for example, “I’m going to eat as I want! "Or" Hooligan on the road. " You can also find name plates with the date of birth or city of residence. One number is made on carriages for twins, on which two names are written at once.
There are numbers with letters and numbers, there are only numbers with letters, with pictures and without them - the choice depends solely on the taste of the parents. And, of course, on the gender of the child: plates for girls are often made in pink colors, and for boys - in blue.
Where to buy?
Usually, stroller numbers are always sold in chain baby stores. They can sometimes be found in regular family hypermarkets. Since now many parents choose unusual names for their children, it is not always possible to find license plates for them. The problem is easily solved - for this there are private organizations that manufacture license plates to order. Customers are offered a variety of template options to choose from.
Do it yourself
On the Internet, there are many ideas for creating unusual numbers for strollers. They are based on metal sheets, plastic, thin wooden planks or even paper. Some parents make a number using decoupage technique, others print with paint through a stencil, and still others use the burning method.
The easiest way to make your own stroller number is to print it out on paper. The layout is made in a graphics editor, for example, in Photoshop or just in Word. You can choose a font that is as close as possible to that used in the production of real license plates, or you can choose a more original one. Next, the drawing is printed on the printer. It remains to laminate it and attach it to the stroller with double-sided tape.
Better yet, attach a piece of transparent plastic, matched to the size, to the plate. It cuts well, you can use a hacksaw for this. The resulting plate is glued to the number on double-sided tape, after which the finished product is fixed on the baby's transport.
The baby number will not only make your stroller or bike unique, it will give your child joy and make him feel older.
Such an accessory will become a worthy decoration for any stroller or bicycle of a small "car owner". And for adults, this is just a memorable item that will remind them of the happy times of the first years of the baby's life.
