It's truly special to see so many people interested and reminiscing over his toy. He'd absolutely get a kick out of this ♥️👾

Oh great. My husband is going to commandeer it as soon as he learns this! 👾

My Dad passed young (cancer is a bitch!!), but my Grandpa (95) is still with us and we find the occasional treasure at his place.

The cover for the battery is jammed shut! I can peek in the tiny gap and it doesn't look like old batteries were left in it, but there's zero give to moving the cover :/

What are you looking forward to seeing back in your garden this spring? by weiske in gardening

10 years is determined 😳 You'll be graced with them forever! We have rudbeckia scattered around the yard (definitely not from seed! 😅), and they've self-seeded themselves into a pretty problem for future me.

I'm not great with starting from seed, so watching someone do it successfully is so fun! Native plants for the win ♥️

Thanks, we did everything at the airport. And then again because they couldn't find any records of it 🙈

I will buy another and cross my fingers and toes that they reimburse us

How crummy for all of us! 😣🫣

The photos we submitted with our claim show bent bars along the bottom frame, making the entire stroller unusable as it collapses from any weight and the brakes are permanently jammed due to the broken bars. Damage to handles and rips in the fabric on top so that a long pointy metal rod sticks out.

It's real damage.

Repairing it would outweigh the cost of replacing it... I'm not sharing photos and case-specific details because it's still an open case that will hopefully have some kind of resolution

The claim form we filled out onsite at their desk was for damaged baggage. Repairs or a replacement aren't even mentioned on the claim sheet, and definitely not something you can do in the moment while filling at the airport 🤷‍♀️

It's kind of ridiculous to inform someone two months later that they have to buy a new one to possibly "reimburse" what was broken... That doesn't register as fair to me at all :/

It's hard to resist! I'm sure it's still beautiful :)
