Hi,

Did anyone use a liner for their BJCM for the arrival of their newborn?

I've found this one and wondering if it'll do the job or any other recommendations? http://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-car-seat-and-pushchair-lambskin-liner/p231011599

Thanks!

I bought my BJCM 2nd hand and have got the footmuff that goes with it but I'm thinking of getting a sheepskin and stay put blanket as its less bulky.

Basically no but I'm making my place

Hi are either of you on facebook as theres a baby jogger page/group and the ladies on their are lovely, thres a few ppl on their that make custom liners and i know a few of them have sheepskin liners in and they look fab, am sure they could reccomend a good one x

I dont see why it wouldnt although it does look a bit a the wrong shape for a City Mini. The Maclaren liners are supposed to be a good fit. You really need long and thin rather than "8" shaped.

Have you thought about using a carrycot for a newborn? I used a Graco soft carrycot and meant I could see baby and she was snug and comfy. I've just stopped using it now that DD2 is 5months.
(am now using a homemade padded fleece liner with a stayput blanket)

Thanks, I do have a carrycot pushchair but with a 2 year old too I also needed a double. Will have a look at the FB page

You can use a carrycot on a 2011 or newer BJCMD. Also the Graco and Petit Zia soft cots have always fitted nicely too.

I used a carrycot on the newer BJCMD, got it second hand on Gumtree for 300 quid and it was like new. When he was less tiny, I swapped the carrycot for a bugaboo cocoon which was just fine. Now we don't use the double anymore and am using a Lodger Bunker in the single.

I bought my BJCM on Gumtree, I'll check to see if it's compatible with a carrycot! Thanks!

working9while5 I love those Lodger Bunker footmuffs, have been looking for a replacement for DS3's wallaboo baby wrapper as he is far too big for it. They look so cosy!
