I got one too and am loving it! I am only 5'2" so finding it that bit smaller is making it much easier than the sport for me to manage I havent found the seats to be much smaller, maybe the rear one but not a problem for me as dd still in the cocoon for now and by the time she is out of the back seat DS shouldnt be in the buggy x

Have solved the harness problem in the main seat and that is all fine now .

Just going to pump up the wheels then it's already for its next trip out tomorrow.

I'm thinking the recline on the rear seat will be enough to make me keep it.

I got it from Practical Pushchairs...it was £348 for the single and a free fleece blanket (quite a cheap one with Practical Pushchair logo on it).

I've just taken it for a test drive and I'm not madly in love with it...yet!

The straps on the buggy weren't long enough for the child I had in it but I think these can be adjusted some more. Would need to do it without a child in it so will have to have a fiddle with it later. However, the child I had in it is 4 so possibly not a problem for you.

The seat appears to be a lot less spacious than I'm used to with the Dash and the Sport but mindee fitted in it and looked comfy (apart from the harness).

The hood is much better, the recline on the doubles seat is fab, the folding is good but I'll have to practice it a bit so that the handle doesn't scrape on the floor and rip the foam.

The handle is less padded and did start to hurt my hand but I was walking up a steep hill, pushing one handed and the wheels could have done with a bit more air...I was in such a rush to get out that I didn't pump them up.

I'm going to have a play with it tonight and have another test drive tomorrow...I'm sure once I stop comparing it to other P&T models then it will grow on me more.

Also, one last thing, I was expecting the rear wheels to be closer together but it is as wide as the dash.

Fab thank you!

I drove out to a big Mothercare this morning to have a little play (and to see if it wld fit into my tiny boot) Which is does I NEED IT!!

Did u find a good deal in the end? I only need it as a single at the moment!

Enjoy your new toy x

Another one arrived this morning !! (After another failed eBay purchase )

I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but I will report back later...it is definitely more compact than a normal P&T when folded.

How did this end Hic? Did u purchase another one from a different seller?

How small is the dot? I'm bizarrely drawn to this but have a tinney tiny boot so would have to be super small to fit!

Right, dot was collected yesterday so I'm just waiting for a refund.

I've found another eBay seller, selling the dot for £250. Too good to be true?

Well, I've had a play around with my dash and managed to get the main seat to sit a bit further forward (it seems quite reclined normally) which has given a bit more room for the child in the rear seat. Also, the smaller, dot rear wheels will fit on the dash but not the front one so I could possibly try and get hold of a couple of rear wheels to add to mine and not bother getting a new Dot afterall.

I'm going to have a trip to Mothercare next week to see if they have a dot on display so that I can see the rear seat in action .

I have found a website selling the main seat, doubles kit and raincover for £435. That's the cheapest I've found so will probably go for that if I do decide to get it. Also, I have used that site before.

what about this seller?

I have opened a dispute...I think that's why the seller responded. Unfortunately, all eBay will do is say I need to return it but can't force the seller to pay the return postage.

I need to find a cheap courier. The one I used to use went out of business before Christmas.

i would get ebay involved with a not as described dispute!

Thanks, fairimum.

They've replied saying it is obvious that the listing was for a single but I can return it or pay another £85 for the doubles seat.

I've asked who will pay for the return but am fully expecting to have to pay it myself.

I'll check to see if it'll fit in my boot first then keep looking for a good deal.

i actually emailed your seller before you got your dot asking if the doubles seat was included, got a reply this morning saying it wasn't, so ahve replied to them that their listing does imply that the doubles kit is included. KNow not much help to you but might make them rethink...

i would appeal to ebay as you shouldnt have to pay the postage to return as it is not as described!

hmmm... it is unclear, as listing suggests it includes the doubles

I did see one for £399 aswell...it's sold now.

I just opened a case and the seller sent me a message straightaway to say the listing was for the single only. I've responded so will see what they say.

If I return it, I have to pay the shipping costs which is annoying but cheaper than having to pay another £100 for the extra seat.

hmm has gone now

i am sure there was one on there for £399 that included it too...

I emailed the seller first thing this morning but no response so far. I don't know if I can justify another £100 for the doubles kit but will be quite miffed if I have to pay to return the buggy.

If I haven't heard from them by tomorrow afternoon then I'll open a dispute with eBay.

The description is indeed ambiguous. Features include double kit, seat pads for both seats etc. I think it is worth complaining to the seller. They may send a double kit to you. It should clearly say 'double kit not included' after those specs.

It was ambiguous wasn't it, didn't specifically say single or double. Hmmm. What are you going to do?

oh no I couldn't decide either way from the wording what will do you?

I'be just received the buggy and guess what? No doubles kit!

I was sure from the wording in the description that it was included .

Features include
- NEW! main seat recline with no dangling straps
- NEW! 5 point harness with additional tuck away strap length (ideal for adjustment for winter clothing), no dangling tails and easy adjustment
- NEW! double kit easy one hand recline
- double kit with 5 point safety harness and sun canopy
- main seat and double kit seat liner

C&P from the listing...really hoping I haven't mis-read it now . Will let you know what arrives

<keeps fingers crossed for the special doubles seat>

ooo i read that one as being a single... brilliant price!
