If you like bunnies on scooters (and who doesn’t?) be on the look out for the “Maple Town Stories” toy sets and in particular Papa Rabbit’s scooter. Airing in Japan and parts of Europe in the late 1980s, Maple Town was an anime series about a small utopian city of rabbits and bears. Below is a link for a playground furniture set and the scooter. The rabbits can be had on the same site in a separate listing.

Gitta in San Diego shared a photo of a quilt a friend made her after she sent her the link to the scooter quilt pattern we posted here. And her friend did the quilt in the colors of Gitta’s own chariot. I particularly love the button (or button hole?) headlight.
Have you made your own quilts? Let’s see them! Send photos to tips AT scooterswag.com.

Finn & Emma is organically grown clothing & bedding shop for kids that seems to have just a little bit of a scooter fixation. (Yes, that little baby is playing with wooden scooters on his mobile!) They have rompers, coveralls, footies featuring their scooter as well as bedding and some toys. There doesn’t seem to be one online shop that has all of their goods but if you visit their retailers’ site you can get an idea of what’s available. One of my favorite shopping tricks is to search for the item in Google Images. Just type “Finn Emma Scooter” and see what you find.
