I have only ever had 2

islandgirl · 21/06/2004 00:50

maisystar - how many do you have - be honest!

NomDePlume · 21/06/2004 00:52

I'm the same Maisystar, frustrating. Although I seem to have managed to curb it having had....

Big M&P 3in1
Mothercare Rhumba
Cossatto 2in1
M&P Pliko Completo
M&P Aria
Urban Detour
Maclaren Techno XT
M&P Pliko (again !)

DD is 22 months, and (thankfully) my urge is seriously waning. I've even managed to take the 'newly listed' ebay page off my favourites !

sanssouci · 21/06/2004 00:52

Yesss! Finally another pushchair fetishisht (is this actually a word?) I have gone through so many that my dh questions my sanity. Of course, they cost a bomb but I'm compelled to keep looking out for THE PERFECT PUSHCHAIR! Which ones have you tried?

suzywong · 21/06/2004 00:53

I once had five
now have four but am getting rid of two at an NCT sale
or would you like to first dibs on them maisystar

NomDePlume · 21/06/2004 00:53

I have to say that I've only ever had 2 at a time (a biggie and a stroller type) at most. The others have been ebayed (with great success !). HURRAH !

islandgirl · 21/06/2004 00:53

do you all have big sheds to store them all in?

codswallop · 21/06/2004 00:53

would you not rather buy clothes or owmthing?

nutcracker · 21/06/2004 00:56

Yippee a pushchair thread.

O.k ladies, wait for it...... I have had 15 (i think), could be more as i tend to forget.

I have 3 kids

At the mo i have a Maclaren Quest, am hoping to fit another one in before Ds out grows buggies completly (he is 18mths now).

I think i really am addicted

nutcracker · 21/06/2004 00:57

I really want to get a 3 wheeler, am trying very hard not too though.

islandgirl · 21/06/2004 00:57

I am really giggling - you are all mad aren't you!!!!!!!!!!!!
my weakness is bags so I'm mad as well I suppose....

suzywong · 21/06/2004 00:57

go on go on get a little nipper from practical pushchairs dot com

suzywong · 21/06/2004 00:58

In my defence I only use three of my four

NomDePlume · 21/06/2004 00:59

Coddy I sell mine on before i buy the replacement so the costs cover themselves, I'm not keeping them and developing a buggy arsenal !!

nutcracker · 21/06/2004 00:59

Oh Suzy, now i'm gonna have to have a look aren't I

sanssouci · 21/06/2004 00:59

No sheds! I have 2 by the front door... I've sold about 4. The worst thing is is that they're all Gracos!!! Clothes are no fun when you're trying to shed pregnancy weight gain. My ds is now 10 months but I'm still wearing size 16.

expatkat · 21/06/2004 01:00

I had a 3-wheelera good quality one, tooand thought it was crap, nutcracker. I really think they're useless. Hope that makes you covet one less.

xoz · 21/06/2004 01:01

I had 5 at one time. 2 double buggies and 3 singles. I only have 2 kids though

lou33 · 21/06/2004 01:01

Stalks Suzywong.....

suzywong · 21/06/2004 01:01

You could have a look then go on ebay

WHY ?

sanssouci · 21/06/2004 01:02

In my defence, I always look for them online as they're cheaper outside of Switzerland. I'm now plotting to smuggle one over the border from France. Someone lock me up!

maisystar · 21/06/2004 01:03

oooh nutty, get a 3 wheeler, they are fab
