Step2 Push Around Buggy Steering Wheel Coupler

I Head Over to Grandma's House and Discover My Daughter's Step2 Push Around Buggy Steering Broken in Half, So I Whip Up a Quick Fix Using Fusion 360. When I arrive at grandma's house, I'm met with a familiar sight: my daughter's Step2 Push Around Buggy lying on the ground, its steering wheel broken into two pieces. At first, I think it's no big deal - I can just super glue it back together. But then I remember all the times this buggy has been pushed to its limits, and I know that a hasty fix won't hold up for long. That's when I decide to take matters into my own hands and whip up a custom coupler using Fusion 360. I fire up the software and start designing a new piece that will connect the two broken halves of the steering wheel together securely. After a few minutes of tinkering, I have a working design that I can print out on my Prusa i3 MK2S. I export the file from Fusion 360 and send it to my printer, which gets to work right away. While the coupler is printing, I take a moment to think about how I want to assemble it. I decide to use super glue to attach it to the broken steering wheel, but this time, I make sure to clamp everything together tightly so that it sets properly. Once the print is complete and the glue has set, I test out the buggy to make sure everything is working smoothly. To my delight, it's good as new! My daughter can once again push her favorite toy around with ease, thanks to my quick thinking and DIY skills. Note: While this coupler may not be universal - there are many different versions of the Step2 Push Around Buggy out there - I hope that this design can serve as a useful starting point for anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.
