I have found an organizer made by MacClaren but wondered if anyone else has one and how they like it?

Are most strollers width standard? Could I buy a different one and would it fit our Mac?
 
We have the Maclaren organizer...It is awesome. I know it fits all maclarens.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you find it? I recently got a volo and would be interested in checking out the organizer! TIA
 

Just wanted to add that these organizers are great but they do make your stroller tip. Just something to watch for. You can put ankle weights on the front to try to balance it.
 
I would think that if you had stuff in the basket underneath that would keep the stroller from tipping??

I just updated to a MacQuest, awesome deal off craigslist $75!!! :thumbsup2

No, you really need weight in the front part of the stroller to prevent the tipping. The ankle weights work great. I got mine at Target for about $12 or $13.

Yup, basket thing doesn't work. That's the only issue with Maclarens...they are really tippy.
 
I could not find an organizer I liked so I made my own. And it doesn't cause the stroller to tip :)

Wow, You are so talented to sew one up. I could do that but never thought to now that I am working again.

I will most likely order from the site since it is cheaper then the one I found already.

Thanks for the help.

What pattern did you use? or did you just come up with it yourself? I would love to make one too.
Also, how do you use the carrying handle with it, does it interfere?

Way too creative and cute. You should offer to make and sell them to fellow interested DISer's! Way to go.

Well you can't technically sell things to other DISers...but maybe you could PM her and suggest that...or inquire if she sells other places.

Also as another shameless plug, come over to the Disboutique board and you can see livndisney's other work!

aaaaw, you made me blush LOL.

To those that asked, the organizer is not from a pattern. I knew what I wanted and what would work for me.:goodvibes It folds up very nicely to store right in the bottom of the stroller when not in use. I am making more of them. I do sell on other sites (not sure if I can post where on here) :3dglasses
 
I love the organizer (though it's more a pit of despair).

I bought mine at FAO Schwartz in the Maclaren section in NYC (just happened to be there). But I know I saw it on the Maclaren site when we were choosing one pre-baby. I think I also saw them at BRU recently.

Anyway, if you don't have a lot of stuff, the stroller won't tip. I use a backpack for a diaper bag. It rarely tips, but I literally have a couple diapers, wipes, a couple toys, and a cup and snack. I don't carry the world with me.

For park trips (like WDW last Aug or Holiday World last weekend), I do this: I take the changing pad with a diaper and small wipes in it and that goes in the basket. Last year when I had formula, bottles and baby food, I also packed a small lunch bag and that went in the bottom too (Done with that--woo hoo!). In the organizer goes an extra diaper (if a long day), some lightweight distraction toys, a couple packaged snacks, camera, cup or two etc. In the top part between the cup holders, goes a pacifier and maybe my wallet or phone (I also have put that in the velcro part on the cover) or sunglasses if getting on a ride. The wallet and phone go on the ride with us.

As I said, I travel light. I even found travel-size sunscreen at Target. That way we didn't have the bottle of that too.

It's gotten its use. My only complaint is if it's not velcroed on right, it will fall off. It also is only made to take so-much weight.
