Abstract
Abstract A toy for a spaceman doll to provide the effect of amplification of the stride and reach of the doll. The carrier comprises a pair of adjustable stilts with clamps for holding the boots of a spaceman doll. A frame which simulates a backpack for the doll, pivotally joins the stilts near their top to enable movement of the stilts apart and together to simulate giant doll strides. Long grasping tools on each side of the doll simulate apparatus for extending its reach.
