With the flange and pipe installed, I mounted the carriage to the base by sliding the 3/4" pipe from the carriage into the larger diameter pipe of the chair support attached to the base of the digger, see the picture for an example of what this looks like. The base is sturdy, but we noticed that our 3-year-old moved it when he stood up to dig a particularly heavy load of sand. This didn’t impact the operation of the lever arm and taught him cause and effect. To ensure the base remains stable, you can weigh it down or bury it slightly in the sand.

Ideally, the equipment with a powder-coated finish is highly preferred after stainless steel.
