This is Zoe's Halloween costume. I'm a big Star Wars fan and wanted to share that love with my daughter. So I built this stroller/costume for her. It took 5 1/2 months to build. It's radio controlled and I drive her around. She is a little young to control R2 herself. I don't want her driving off a curb or hitting someone.
Check out my other video:

to see how it looked at the beginning of the build.
Zoe loves her R2. When we are at home she likes to go inside and play. At conventions she has even fallen asleep inside him.
