Day 68: Playskool baby walker/ride on toy

Although this would be a natural donation to the parents' center I am offering this first on Freecycle since I obtained it from Freecycle and the notion of tossing a Freecycle belonging back into the Freecycle fray is too appealing to pass up. We haven't actually taken much from Freecycle, and we really use the few things we've obtained that way, so this might be my only chance (aside from the serendipitous reconnection between our baby clothes and the lady that once gave us a swing set, see day 9).

Honesty might not be the best policy here, however; had the original Freecycler been more forthcoming about the rather beat up condition of this toy I probably would not have bothered to go get it (or, more correctly, have my brother go get it, since it turned out to be located a block from his office). It worked out fine; even though it's not pretty we just used it outside for Cole to stagger around with while he was learning to walk. I outlined all this in my Freecycle post and so far no interested parties.

It's OK, I have a backup plan for the toy -- if no one wants it I am going to take it to the local tot lot and donate it to the scrum of well-used toys others have left there. I know it will find some action at the tot lot, since it was there -- watching Cole gleefully push around a similarly decrepit Playskool walker -- that I got the idea to look on Freecycle for a walker WE could leave outside in our very own yard.
