the double stroller.\u00a0 This may not be exciting for you, but I&#8217;m pretty proud of myself!\u00a0 I bought the double stroller years ago from a random person on craigslist and I didn&#8217;t realize it didn&#8217;t have the bar\/table across the front.\u00a0 It works just fine without it, so I didn&#8217;t care.\u00a0 But now that we&#8217;re going for longer walks I thought it would be nice for Maddie and Levi to have a space to put their toys and books.\u00a0 So, I concocted a way to make a table for cheap (under $10!) and voila!\u00a0 It already had the holes in the side of the stroller so I purchased a rod the exact size so it can slide right in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amadeusacademy.com\/family\/?attachment_id=12873\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12873\"><img
