A young Canadian couple is getting media attention from across the border after improvising their way through a stroller-less visit to Home Depot.<\/p>\n
Wow, it\u2019s been a great month for home hardware stores across Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last week, Justin Trudeau was spotted dancing his pants off at a Home Hardware store<\/a> in Montreal.<\/p>\n This week, a family from Winnipeg is making international headlines after a trip to Home Depot took an unexpectedly adorable turn.<\/p>\n The father, Tristan, was browsing the aisles for some good old-fashioned household supplies when he decided there was no reason a missing stroller should bring the shopping trip to a halt. So he did MacGyver proud and used a Home Depot bucket to carry baby Noelle instead.<\/p>\n The moment was captured and shared by Channa, Tristan\u2019s wife and mom to Noelle, Hayes, and Sophie. Together, they\u2019ve been creating family-friendly content on YouTube as The Chan Fam<\/a> for years.<\/p>\n The family has built a loyal following of nearly 400,000 fans across all social media platforms, but this particular Home Depot outing ended up getting attention from abroad.<\/p>\n Even major North American brands \u2014 though, oddly enough, Home Depot has stayed mum thus far \u2014 jumped into the comments on Channa\u2019s Instagram post.<\/p>\n \u201cJust a princess in her construction-site carriage,\u201d wrote the major diaper company Pull-Ups.<\/p>\n \u201cOh to be a smiling baby carried around in a Home Depot bucket,\u201d commented Circle K.<\/p>\n \u201cImprovise, adapt, and overcome,\u201d added snack brand Fruit by the Foot.<\/p>\n And while comments from big brands might seem like nothing more than fun to us regular folks, they can be a pretty big deal for young content creators. One viral post can put a family on the radar of companies willing to pay big bucks for sponsored content, potentially turning a Home Depot bucket ride into a little extra money towards the kids\u2019 college funds.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Channa\u2019s usual followers were having fun with the situation.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019ll be hanging drywall by kindergarten,\u201d one person joked.<\/p>\n Another simply commented: \u201cDad-maxing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cResourceful \ud83d\ude4c You can\u2019t rush a dad at Home Depot. It\u2019s basically his Sephora,\u201d another user wrote.<\/p>\n Honestly, that last comment might be the most accurate description of the whole situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
