my sister wants to borrow my buggy.....

its dd2 buggy which we dont use as much atm, but still use it regularly. sis wants it to take on holiday abroad. i'm worried about it getting damaged or stolen, as its one i really like and dont want to lose. i feel like i'm being mean if i say no, but i really cant afford to lose it. and if dh goes in hospital that fortnight i need it as it fits in my parents car easily.

explain that youd like to hang onto it in case your dh needs to go into hospital, im sure she will understand. if she just wants it for holiday could she not get one of those cheap little strollers that dont recline?

which sister is it misdee?

sparklymieow · 22/05/2005 15:53

not me!!!!!

Spacecadet · 22/05/2005 15:56

was just wondering sparkly, if you want to lend you sister the buggy, i would be more than happy to send you a buggy to borrow, which would be suitible, i run an ebay shop and have heaps, and some second hand ones and ones I have used and so cant sell as new.

SC i'll pass that info onto my sister, how much would postage be for a buggy? her dd is 2yrs old but very little.

OP posts:
Spacecadet · 22/05/2005 17:18

depends on size most are 9.99 small little strollers i charge 6.99, i have a kingswood siesta stroller left in my shop if shes interested, it doesnt recline though, but if her dd is 2 is that a prob? but she is more than welcome to borrow my used kingswood which is only 4 weeks old or if you want to lend your i would be happy to lend you my used graco citisport, new last week, display model i call it! ie i have been using it!!!!!!!!!!

Spacecadet · 22/05/2005 17:19

graco citisport doesnt support dd2 weight. she is now 40lb and the its a nightnare to push. i use my citisport for dd3. for small trips out and about i take the triumph for dd2 and a sling for dd3. thanks for the offer.

i really dont know what to do. she'll probably think i'm being mean by not lending mine out.

Spacecadet · 22/05/2005 17:32

would a pliko be any good??? i guess i could lend you a triumph

Spacecadet · 22/05/2005 17:34

the only other thing i have is aprincessstroller, one of those pink ones from mothercare, if your sister hasa boy she can happily borrow the blue cat stroller i had for ds2, i bought it when preg with dd2 so not old, it reclines slightly, suitible from 3 months, blue with a cat on it from mothercare.

she has a pilko. obviously she doesnt want to take hers grr. would u lend a triuphm to her? if she doesnt return it then sting me for the cash. she might even buy it afterwards as she does like mine.

OP posts:
Spacecadet · 22/05/2005 17:40

tell you what, if she doesnt want the blue cat buggy, i could lend you the new triumph and she could borrow yours but otherwise i dont mind loaning one as long asshe makes sure she has adequate insurance to cover lost itemsand pays postage, not a prob.

Spacecadet · 22/05/2005 17:40

unless she could pick up, where are you all??

Spacecadet · 22/05/2005 17:41

i have to admit, the maclarensare great, i have an xt and its a dream to push
