Can you buy them over here??? I was interested in a Graco Flip It but it wasn't possible to import and Graco UK said they won't be selling them over here...Only way i guess i could get one is if the US family i lived with for a year bought me one, then sent it to me.

FriggFRIGG · 14/03/2011 09:28

try ebay,theres one of the contors onthe us site that will import,so its £160 for the buggy and £150 for the shipping...
i think its too bulky though Sad

apart from that,its sooo lovely,i always like the idea of tandems instead of one up one below,but i hate the look of them...these are pretty Grin

i think i should be sensible and go with the explorer

I am not sure about the Kolkraft but the Bebecar Vector is simlair and not too bulky to push after a while as far as I can tell it is lighter than the other one too.

upyourdiva · 14/03/2011 10:25

Also meant to say if you are needing it too be single and double, you can do this or you can buy the single chassis for £80 at Precious Little One at the moment.

FriggFRIGG · 14/03/2011 11:07

thankyou!Smile
but i dont really like the look of tandems like that,the only reason the contor is a contender is all the extras it has like the big hood,cup holders,music playing ability,big wheels,etc....Blush

im a bit of a pushchair fanatic Blush Grin

Oh I see :o

I was the same and used to frequent the pram chats but DS is now 4.6YO so those days are long gone :( lol

FriggFRIGG · 14/03/2011 11:16

ahh,see i had number two to omit that problem for a few years!Grin

FriggFRIGG...BIG BIG thanks for that i live in Nottingham, and Mansfield is the next big town to us...I've messaged her but it was posted 17 days ago so may have gone...Crossing my fingers it's still available even though i bought a Vigour 4+ yesterday.

FriggFRIGG · 14/03/2011 17:30

oh fantastic Grin gumtree add's tend to hang around for a while,so fingers crossed for you!

Got a reply, someone did want it but hasn't got back to them...So i said i won't let them down if they let me buy it...Gawd i'm suppose to be reducing my collection instead i've increased it by 4 in just about as many weeks...This would be number 5...Though sold my Bee Plus and Aria at the weekend.

FriggFRIGG · 14/03/2011 22:02

Grin if it makes you feel any better...ive had 18 now....

and i have a p&t explorer on the way Blush

OP posts:
suzie38 · 14/03/2011 22:26

I've had about 30 in total but some were from my free paper delivery days though those i never really used for DD...At present i have 11 with a Vigour 4+ on the way and 13 if i get the Flip It...Mind you 1 is being collected at the weekend and 2 are still on eBay and another going on eBay once i get it back from the in laws and they have my old Citisport that's in the greenhouse...Plus DH says i can have a Bugaboo Donkey!!!

Honeydragon · 14/03/2011 22:31

Frig did boots exchange?

suzie38 · 14/03/2011 22:42

Ahh so you decided on the P&T afterall...For how long??? Wink Grin

FriggFRIGG · 14/03/2011 22:59

Shock and Envy at the donkey

boots did not exchange,no,but they refunded without question very quickly and were very helpful and no nonsense about it all,i highly recommend themSmile

yes i decided on the p&t,its the sensible option...it fits through the (alice in wonderland tiny) front door,and as DS is 6 months now, hes okay to sit in it...just have to keep telling myself i have the frog for RF and the slings...so i dont feel too awful about him being exposed and lonely Sad[mellow dramatic emoticon]

also DD walks quite a bit now,but still needs a rest so its a good option for a double without it being too huge...the other day i was pushing the EMPTY britax whilst carrying DS in the sling and holding DDs hand Hmm

id probably feel slightly less annoyed about pushing the p&t as its so much lighter...

suzie38 · 15/03/2011 20:30

The Flip It is mine Smile Just got to arrange pick up...Thanks so so much for finding it for me!!! PS Did you get/go off the Frog???

suzie38 · 15/03/2011 20:32

PPS...Just read you do have a Frog...How much did you get it for???

Honeydragon · 15/03/2011 21:30

Well done Suzie ...let me know what its like in RL will you Grin

FriggFRIGG · 15/03/2011 21:40

ooh! im so glad you got it...
it was there when i googled, twas meant to be Grin

i got the frog,yes...its a lovely buggy! handels so well! im defo getting a cam if i can ever afford it/when DD walks everywhere so i dont need a double too

OP posts:
suzie38 · 15/03/2011 21:53

Gawd we're as bad as each other...Now i've seen a lovely cream Vigour 4+ on eBay which i like better than the red one i've bought...Will let you know what the Flip It is like Honeydragon...I'm guessing it'll be like a Metrosport but with rear steering in reverse mode...Used to push Frog like that sometimes so should be ok...I'd only use it like that if it's raining or DD doesn't want the sun in her eyes.

FriggFRIGG · 15/03/2011 21:57

i know its awful,DP reckons its a new one every 5 weeks Shock Grin

but i got a right bargain on the explorer!
it was only 364.00!!!

OP posts:
suzie38 · 15/03/2011 22:39

Now i've had no interest in P&T except the Smart which i sold recently so no idea on prices but i like the look of the Vibe, Smart looks like them...But know the Vibe is expensive and not fault free...I'm only having DD so won't need to wade into the doubles market.

Honeydragon · 15/03/2011 22:47

One of the ladies at dd's toddler group bought a vibe.... I believe before she sold it it was known as the Bastard P&T. She then got the Explorer Grin

suzie38 · 15/03/2011 22:55

Not only will i be getting a Flip It but they're going to drop it off at my house so DH won't have to go and collect it...Now i was definetly destined to get one Smile
