I plan to change the design in a way that would ease assembly: eliminate some connections and widen the joint entries. I would like to round and soften the edges of the seat to improve comfort, and round the decorative pieces to improve the look. I will add two foot bars: right below the seat (above the &#8220;wheels&#8221;) \u00a0for smaller children (like my daughter) and one under the &#8220;wheels&#8221; for larger children. The handle could also use some redesign to increase strength for rough play. I hope to paint and finish the piece to make it look more like a vespa. I will make the next two models out of plywood or a stronger material to make sure it will last through multiple children and have a longer lifespan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This MDF prototype of the &#8220;Rocking Vespa&#8221; turned out surprisingly functional.
