Don't trust your dh with a brand new buggy

I bought a lovely brand new Mclaren buggy - bright red - really nice - about 2 weeks ago.
Last weekend my dh took my dd and ds2 to a christening in London while I stayed at home with ill and feverish ds1. Slung the buggy over his shoulder (did I mention it had a very useful shoulder strap?) and off he went.
Today I said to him "can you get that buggy out of the back of your car for me?" "I haven't got a buggy in the car." "Yes, you do, you took it to London last weekend".

Anyway turns out the idiot took ds out of the buggy, put him in the car, and drove off. Leaving said buggy on the pavement.

I'd never even pushed the bloody thing!

Hope it has a nice new home, wherever it is.

Read this to dh. He says "could have been worse, he could have put the buggy in the car and left ds2 on the pavement..."

It was totally red! I liked the red hood! The charcoal one just looks like it comes off a different pram!

I'm sulking now...

no, it is too bulky and heavy, I like the fact that the triumph is so light. it is meant to be a holiday buggy! otherwise I use the Jane

Not a Volo, they're horrible. The Triumph is nice (I love the red one) and I have a Quest which I love even more.

DH has driven my buggy to work in the boot of the car (twice) but has yet to leave it on the pavement. I shouldn't have read him your post, PPH - now he'll say 'Yes, but at least I didn't leave the buggy on the pavement' when he next "gets confused" about something

misdee · 07/02/2005 23:05

the totally red one is very cool. dd2 loves it so much she gives it hugs (ask mieow!!)

blueteddy · 07/02/2005 23:05

Don't blame you!
I would sulk too!!!
My dh removed our car seat to let a friend in the car & forgot to put it back in the car!
It has never been seen since & we had to buy a new one!

is it very light and easy to push ja9? when you fold it down is it quite small or do those back wheels get in the way?
