Just make sure that company is a reputable company. They can really scam you for all you are worth!

Good for you though, I hope it gets a patent and you get a company to make it! That would be awesome!

What fabulous news Michelle! Spike le Bec is the bird 'who would be king' and Lola will be the bird 'who will be queen'! WOO HOO.
I hate to ask you, but could you send me a picture of it to my yahoo address? I can't see anything here and we don't have access to photobucket and picasa at work.
I'd love to see it! Thanks!!

Thanks all! I'm really excited! I can't wait to talk to the guy tomorrow!

So, I did take Lola on her maiden voyage today! She had fun... it was pretty hot out so I didnt take her too far.

I took some pics, but don't want to post them just yet. If outsiders see my pics they could steal the idea. Don't want that to happen! So Here's the license plate that was made....

Aw, I want to see pics of the cruiser! Hehe, thanks for the license plate pic though!

Did she have fun?

yes she did have fun! at first she was like "what the heck is this?!" and then she was cool with it!

That's great news, Michelle! I hope you get the patent and a good company to manufacture them for you. That would be wonderful!

That license plate is adorable! I cannot wait to see the rest of your pictures!

Awww I love her license plate with her photo on it. Was wondering where you had that done? I would love one of my bird for me!! Thanks....Nanc

yes, me too, where did you get your "license plate" .....(and how big is it actually).

So, wow, how did you apply for a patent so quickly - i thought that takes time? what an opportunity.

FYI: see post HELP NEED A CATCHY NAME for the web site on the company used to order the license plate...you can see additional samples of Lola's plate there also. The website supports lots of graphic needs...it is a favs for sure.

Ok.. well, I talked to the man from the patent company. It is going to cost way too much for me to be able to pursue the idea. It's $795 just for a product portfolio that includes all the plans and details and drawings of the stroller. IF that is accepted and given the go ahead, I have to pay $1500 hundred for the patent. Once that is going, the marketing team will take my product to tradeshows and such. If it takes off then they get 20% of my royalties. Of course there are other expenses and he said I'd be sinking in 10,000-15,000 dollars. That is something I cannot do! So, for now, the Caique Cruiser is on the backburner.

Thanks for your support and everything. I'll be posting pics soon!

OUCH!!!!!!

Freddy

ps Love the idea - whats important is that Lola enjoys it. Get those pics up!!!!!!!!
