The Bleumobile








Buby used it outside the summer after he turned 1. Bleu is just about ready for it now. So My Sweets rescued it from the garage last week, and I spent about an hour scrubbing it back to life. Washing. Disinfecting. Q-Tips in crevices. Four sparkle letters and two butterflies later, et voila. The Bleumobile.


It was made by Fisher Price and is just one in a whole fleet of similar plastic walker thingys that have taken up residence in our garage loft. Lots of people bought them for Buby when he was itty bitty, so I bet we tested every make and model out there. This is the only one I ever liked. The design is ultra basic and cheap, but it's surprisingly stable. And unlike the others, nothing for the babes to hit his/her head on if they stumble. When they stumble.


We have it in the playroom now, our only carpeted room. When she's ready... I can't wait to see her go.

Love the Blue Mobile. She'll be walking on her own in no time at all.

Bleumobile- great personalization. My favorite walk behind toys the girls had I picked up at a garage sale. They were older Fisher Price that were super sturdy. Too bad I sold them off (along with most everything else)...

Cute! When Parker was into the walking game we were gifted three of these walking toys. He used two and saved one for a re-gift:-)

If she is anything like him she will have those stickers in her mouth in no time.....

Go, Bleu, Go!
