Hello I got this super clean stroller for $20 locally. I need a better way to transport my heavy ass , everything but the kitchen sink, range bag and cooler. I had been using a plain old hand cart which sucks as everything falls off and I'm basically dragging its small wheels through the gravel areas at most ranges. So I'd like to mount a shelf onto it somehow (allowing access to the bottom "soft" compartment) and I'm drawing a blank on how to do that. I really need to be able to fold it up too. My first thought was to cut off the appendages from the canopy and front "bar" Maybe use them somehow? Hey if anyone has any ideas and or pics please chime in!

You'll have to build you a "seat" since yours doesn't have one. I want to say I remember seeing one made with plywood on Enos but with the price of OSB you could probably buy a new stroller. Here are my winter cart and summer cart. Not pictured is the cooler that mounts to the front. Attached File Attached File |
Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt. That's the first thing they teach you.

Saw a gun cart /stroller on Ebay and it gave me the concept on how to mount a board. I used wood instead of steel plate but the concept is the same. Works fantastic!

I decided at the onset of the cart build to make it as modular as possible. so I stripped all the canvas to bare chassis... at the time I was driving an Explorer Sport so kept the folding capability, later ran a couple of bolts through the hinge mechanism when I switched to the Tacoma...original step was the length placement of the double ATV gun rack to match the Benelli and AR, I wore my pistol, mag pouches, shotshell trays on a 2" Uncle Mikes duty rig, and over the shoulder single Sam Browne shotgun loop belt for slugs or buckshot in case there were intermixed targets on the stage... I use inexpensive aluminum snap links to attach bags, and trial fit the location with stainless screw clamps and split rings for attachment points...I use heavy duty contractor type tool bags with heavy handle webbing... the weight of the ammunition hanging between the rails and partially supported by the axle...soft sided cooler in the original foot rest platform.. I did not want the cart to wheel stand my original 3 gun cart has been repurposed to a Steel Challenge cart... the attachment points are now fixed, and are1/4" eye bolts... the snap links are on the bags themselves... GI mechanic's bag, trauma kit, soft sided cooler... I don't carry that much ammo weight any longer.... more creature comfort was added, a Ridgid battery powered contractor fan, attached on a bar between the rails fairly centered, so it can be attached pointing forward or aft, depending on which way the range is facing...to hold a 7' beach umbrella, a PVC tube with a "U" shaped cut to center over the axle and a pair of stainless screw clamps( figure 8) to attach it to the side rail tube.. angled outboard so that direct overhead sunlight fall to the side, not directly on the cart...a 24" folding stool allows me to "roll off" and ease my knee... a loading tray was added to the umbrella support |
