Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 There have been a quite a few discussions about padding the bar just recently. I use pipe insulation on Owen's bar which is the large red Fillauer. You could probably do something similiar with the gold bar. I'll take a picture and send it to CFPics.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 We have been chatting a bit lately, trying to come up with some good ideas as to how to pad the bolts a bit. We have brand new HW floors throughout the main 2 levels of our house and I need to come up with a way to pad the bolts - our daughter wears the gold bar, it is flatter than the red one so the bolts will be in full contact with the floor when she starts cruising. I would also think she would have no real traction and worry about her falling. It was suggested that we could try using the pipe material (the hollow rubber piping used for insulating water pipes, most parents seem to have used this for padding the bar) on the bolts or someone suggested the rubber material used for canning...our little one is three and a half months now so padding the bolts is a ways off for us. Please let us know if you find something that works.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 I will take a picture today of the padding I use which goes to the ends of the bar and covers the bolts. I will send it to the CFPics list. If you aren't on the list, you won't be able to see any pictures that are sent before you join. The pictures are sent in emails as attachments on this list, so if you want to see them you have to be on individual emails. Come on over and join us so you can share pics of your family or anything clubfoot related. I will try to approve memberships as soon as I can, please fill out the short survey file that comes when you request your membership because I've been out of the loop here recently and I don't really know all the new members. We restrict membership because quite honestly there are more than a few wackos out there who seem to get jollies from clubfoot stuff and want to see pictures of feet. These are our children so I'm sure everyone understands why we're cautious about who is on this list. Anyway, come join at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CFPics/http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CFPics/ See you there!
