Give Your Toddler a Roller Coaster Experience With a Laundry Basket 


When it comes to toddler hacks, this one has all the winning components. 1) You probably have the materials. 2) YOU GET TO SIT. And 3) It’s damn fun.

Oklahoma City dad Terrance Gay gave his daughter Kayla a thrilling ride by placing her inside a laundry basket atop his knees as they watched a 3D roller coaster video on TV. Pretending she’s on the track, he dips, twists and shakes her as she squeals “whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!” with glee. Her mom posted the video on Kayla’s Facebook page.

Do try this at home. You can find roller coaster videos galore on CoasterForce’s YouTube page or by googling. Bonus: You’ll get a killer leg workout while you’re at it.
