Hi Everyone! Chris from East Mids

[Ava Love]

If you're just talking about shifting her room to room you could get a basic sack barrow for that. Gets a bit more difficult if there's stairs but you can get the tri-wheel one for that if need be.

Stannah Stair Lift?! Or one of those ‘Hannibal Lecter’ carts…

Welcome in Chris

Wow, she's some starter doll; those 173H models are stunning, but heavy I have a 174G, and she weighs about the same as your girl, but having started with a Kimber got used to handling lighter dolls before going big.

For moving around, bear-hug is a great way to start and good for small distances; once you get used to the weight, bridal carry can be better. I started basic weight training just before Kimber arrived and it was a great help; just simple 1 and 2 kg weights, flexing both waist and arms, done in the bathroom when getting dressed, not going to the gym or anything; maybe that would work for you.

Anyway, enjoy your stay and looking forward to the pics

to the forum, Chris, and congratulations on your new girl. Looking forward to seeing more of her. Don't hesitate to ask any questions if you need advice

Thanks so much for the advice, the wheelchair idea is a really good one for moving her around the house!

Anyone got any storage ideas? I have housemates so need to keep her discreetly. Hence the snowboard bag! I've thought about hanging her by a hook in the wardrobe but I think she is way to heavy for that, and it's not very private either. I've seen some doll flight cases but they seem ridiculously expensive!

One option is a cheap ottoman bed. Lay some blankets or foam to protect her back and bum. Only prob is big boobs may not fit and you'll probably put your back out getting her out. I have one but my girls aren't that heavy plus i dont really need to hide mine so its just full of junk now

[LeicesterChris]

Yeah I thought about a ottoman bed, the issue is her boobs are too big and the bed depth isn't enough for her. Also, the bed wouldn't be secure - ideally I'd need something that locks for when I'm not in the house.

Most wardrobe floors are generally a suitable thickness to take a dolls weight, if you have the clearance then just stand the doll in there with a foam block behind her back, to stop her arse going flat against the wall.
I have a couple of wardrobes setup for dolls to stand in, they both have 18mm melamine floors and they both have +100 kg of dolls standing in each, I remove their heads, make sure the rail height is sufficient to clear the dolls neck with a M16 hanging eye located in the neck, then just use tie the M16 eye to the rail with a piece of cord or mostly a shoelace, that is just Incase the dolls decides to go for skating lessons with their foot bolts cross the melamine wardrobe floors base not to hang them from the rail.

Welcome to the forum, hope she arrives with you quickly and safely.
