I love it! I want to do a blanket on the bottom of the this one I am getting ready to build, I like the Prim toy I think u called it.... Wear did you get it and cost...

[MeganEMills]

@lovepeacenotwar1982 It is a pram toy (my New Zealand accent put you off!) and it cost about $14.95 from The Warehouse in New Zealand. It was made by Tommee Tippee. I'm not sure where you are in the world but if you have any shops that specialise in baby items they probably have something similar. Alternatively you could make your own by stringing items onto a thick, round elastic cord. Regs... Megs

thanks so much megan..im going to try this out on the weekend.. i have one question however, i know you held the top two tiers up with the wooden spoon but i was curious how the the bottom tier stays secure? i am sorry if you explained this already!! thanks again :)

[MeganEMills]

@annalovesvic The wooden spoon has a handle that goes all the way down to the bottom, through all three tiers. If I didn't have one that long I might put something else like a baby's bottle brush through the first and second tiers as well. Regs... Megs

[MrChonpon]

how many dipers did you use for each teir?

[MeganEMills]

@MrChonpon The top tier has 4 nappies, the middle tier has 11 and the bottom tier has 33. Regs... Megs
