I have a nine year old, I don't want to buy a buggy, or swap one, or hear anymore about one!!

Was Silver Cross or McClaren in my day. Take it or leave it.

And, nobody, but nobody paid over £125.

Oh I could be "trendy" . Not sure though as I haven't actually seen anyone under the age of 70 using one.

Ours fell apart spectaculary in St Ives one holiday. One minute dh was pushing it along, the next it snapped into a handful of poles and material and ds fell out. We shoved it in the nearest bin and carried on on foot

Tsk tsk TinyGang - you should have sold it/swapped it on here.

Olive

You put it so much more eloquently than me!

Also, will someone just decide whether to bf or ff and thereby free 60% of the thread space for more interesting things, like recipes for mohitos...

tsk tsk

It's funny how quickly it all seems like another world. DW and I, with a 7-year-old and a 4-year-old, probably wouldn't know which way up to hold a baby these days.

my profile is about buggies so I am 4 reel innit

Maybe I should start a swap/wanted thread and trade in my maclaren for a granny trolley then

U havin angel delight for afters oo?

seriously UQD , how many ways are there?
I'm sure you would both be fine

for sale: zappa in black moustache

I don't intend to find out!

yeah, wi Dreem Topping

(do they still make that? I had it in my youth)

Yes they do. Sadly. And tip top.

Look at it this way - how many of you have a nice car? or change your car, not because it's fallen apart, but because you want a new one?

What about your clothes. I bet you don't wear them until they fall apart and then buy one replacement item - you have a pair of trousers, why buy another pair?

Your home - do you have nice things? Do you buy better, or different things? Do you change your colour scheme?

hairstyle?

Shoes? How many pairs have you got? You've only got one pair of feet.

Handbags? What a waste of money they can be.

Everyone's got something they like to buy lots of or change regularly, or admire.

Ok, I personally think there must be better things than pushchairs, but that's only my opinion. I used the same pushchair until it fell apart but I can understand that there are some folks who have an obsession like some of you have 60 pairs of shoes, or some of you pay £200 for a handbag.....

I saw a buggy the other day, registered that it was a Quinny Zapp and then thought oh so that's what one of those is. It's like another language innit? I couldn't give a toss about buggies either

Um, I own a Quinny Zapp, am on the Zappata thread (I go there to chat my friends), and I am looking to buy a new buggy as am having twins in 3 months. Surely I am allowed to look for a new buggy as I think it will be hard to accommodate two newborns plus a nearly two year old in one single buggy? What's wrong with people buying second hand, and what's wrong with chatting on here to friends?

You must leave Mumsnet egg, because of all of those things
Seriously though, is a zappata a pushchair then? or is it a thread about the zapp?
