Re: Re: How do I lenghthen the red bar?

[Guest guest]

The red bar should be adjustable to 12 or 14 " , she's still under 1

isn't she? This bar should be good till she's 2 or even 3, perhaps

older. Why can't it go bigger? If you need to, push the clamps

closer together. They can be as close as an inch or so apart and

still hold the bar. Are they way apart on the outsides now?
