Fathers often pass down their interests and hobbies to their sons. It can be sports, fishing or hunting, for example. For Aaron Osenbaugh of Petal, Miss., and his 5-month-old son Jaxon, they share a profound love for cars.
Osenbaugh has always had a strong interest in cars, especially vintage models. In fact, he made a hobby of restoring the old vehicles during his life, according to the Hattiesburg American. His infatuation with automobiles was passed down to his son Jaxson after he took him to his first car show earlier in the year.
"You could tell he loved them," Osenbaugh said. "He was leaning over and trying to look at all of them, and he just loved it."
After seeing a stroller modeled after a vintage car, Osenbaugh set his mind to creating one just like that for his boy. Online searches brought no luck, and what they did have carried quite the price tag, according to the Washington Times. "They wanted like $1,500 for a stroller like that, and I was not about to pay so much money for something like that. So I just decided to build one," said Osenbaugh.
Determined to make this happen, Osenbaugh decided to buy a pedal car for the body. He created a floor so that Jaxson would not fall out. A few modifications to the back wheels and steering wheel completed the maintenance on the car. After a fresh new paint job, the vintage car stroller was ready to roll.
It took two weeks and cost a total of $300 to convert the pedal car into a stroller, and Osenbaugh said his son fell in love with his new ride immediately. "He loves that thing," Osenbaugh said. "I don't think he wants to be any place else other than right there." The one-of-a-kind stroller is crafted after a 1950s Murray Comet, according to The Clarion Ledger.
