How to Decorate a Stroller for Breast Cancer Walk
You can decorate your stroller to look like a miniature parade float for your breast cancer walk. Everything pink will help denote the cause. If you are doing this walk in memory of a loved one, it would be very sentimental to place a picture or two of her on your stroller. You can also print her name on balloons attached to your stroller. Using bras in different sizes as a decorative garland will help in depicting the many different women who fall victim to this disease.

Cover all exposed metal supports--the long metal rods that hold the stroller together--in pink crepe paper. Twist the crepe paper around the rod supports so they are covered completely in pink. Do the same thing for the handle you use to push the stroller. Take pieces of the crepe paper about 2 ft. long and tie them all over the stroller to act like streamers.

Tie as many pink helium-filled balloons as you can to the stroller without them interfering with the child and the functioning of the stroller. Tie them at all different lengths, remembering to have them at a lower height in the area you will need to look through while pushing the stroller. Using extra string, tie a few balloons higher than the others, being careful not to make the balloons too high that they hit power lines.

Ask all your female friends and family members to donate an old white bra to you for this cause. The more sizes, the better, to represent all women. Dye the old white bras bright pink and staple them together to make a garland. Drape this all over the stroller; you can use pins to fasten the bras on a windy day.

Frame a few pictures of the person you are walking for, if this is a memorial walk for you, and hang them off each side of the stroller. Use a durable but light frame, and attach it with light rope or wire to the stroller. You can also write the person's name in black magic marker on your pink balloons.

Dress your child in pink to match the decor of the stroller if your child will be going along on this walk with you. If you are uncomfortable doing this with a male child, then all white is fine. Line the seat of the stroller with pink blankets and a thin pink pillow. These will serve as part of the decoration, but will also bring comfort and warmth for the child accompanying you on this walk.

Tips & Warnings
Along with the name of the person you are doing this walk in memory of, you can print her birth date on the balloons, as well as little sayings or special times you spent together. At the completion of the walk, you can let the balloons go in tribute to your loved one.
Make sure the balloons are not too overwhelming, where they are hitting you in the face because of the wind. If the day is predicted to be windy, keep the balloons closer to the stroller and use fewer than you would if it were a day with no wind.
