....that doesnt look too bad now does it .....although,
i feel like ive missed one or two out.

Suzie, pramaholic says JL told her the cosmo Xari would be in some time in August.

Hmmm...my list is tiny because I do my research for months first and also OH is hard to get round... actually....its not that small.... ....a total of 9 for our family (6 singles and 3 doubles) but that doesnt include anything specifically bought, used or borrowed for BB which OH doesn't seem to mind!

Hmm I tried to cross out that first bit but it didn't work lol!

When I say pramaholic, I clearly mean pramsgalore.
Guildford I don't think that counts! How many have you used then?
I've had 8 (3 doubles, 5 singles) and only a 10 month old daughter. I'm close to getting another double, just struggling to get a part shipped from France.

LOL the ones I have used....what 23 years worth????? LOL!!!

Oohh are you buying that Bebe Confort twin one???

Yes 23 years' worth! You've probably used more than I've seen.
I'm trying really hard to buy the BC! I need the double adapter thing that I can't find in the UK and all the French eBay sellers are ignoring me.

Have you tried writing to them in french?!

Frigg I have written to them in French! They're still ignoring me. One responded (in very bad English) about sending a chassis but then I found one in Birmingham for a lot cheaper. Just let me buy the adapter!!!!!

aswellasyou

Call Dorel, say you have lost it and as them to source one for you? They'll just go through the European office for a parts request. It's worth a try, surely?

I'd never heard of Dorel! I've looked them up and how to contact them. Annoyingly, my house phone is broken (isn't everything in this house at the moment?!) and I'd have to call Canada from my mobile. So I'll send them an email instead. Hopefully they can get hold of one for me.

Noooo, call the uk office!!!!

there you go!!!!!!

They are normally very helpful, but be kind patient and firm, their customer care team are lovely, but normally the last peole who are actually told about the items they manufacture, import and distribute , but they are refreshingly honest about this when pushed

Oh gawsh don't even start me on how it took Dorel two months to work out which adaptor I needed for my Zapp Xtra and then charged me £30 for the pleasure! I sold it as soon as the parts arrived. It took me something like 8 phone calls to sort!

Guildford, I rang about the seat unit. I knew more than they did. They told me that it had gone to Quinny Castors and on general release, and they still hadn't been sent the specification or release date for the parts. They were having to google for information

Also the stores selling the seat units to go on a normal frame, were splitting the units, well before the seat was due to be distributed independently, meaning it had no warranty , hence they couldn't sell further adapters as they had not arrived from manufacturers. am not a fan of Quinny, but they have been great with my BC stuff

Oooh thankyou Honey. I'd gone straight to Dorel's site. I've sent an email to that address too. I might try calling as well.

I'll also keep trying to find one myself then. I can't wait two months!

I dont know if you have seen the Zapp properly but on the normal Zapp you can remove the seat fabric, and add car seat adaptors to make a travel system. With the Zapp Xtra you have the same chassis but you need two small round adaptors to slot instead of the car seat adaptors to add the seat unit. But when you have a baby in a car seat, you may, like us, be constantly switching between car seat and seat unit. But the car seat adaptors are chunky enough to not lose. But the small round seat adaptors are a nightmare to keep safe. We lost ours in the dark in the bad snow - even though we had a supposedly secure drawstring ag which OH forgot to tighten. It is such a bad design flaw to not find a way to keep these small adaptors permanently fixed to the frame somehow or provide somewhere to keep them. The seat units are under £100 so at £30 a go I couldn't afford to lose another set...or rather OH :( But Dorel kept trying to send me car seat adaptors and even when they knew which I wanted they weren't allowed to send them out without having them checked and agreed they were correct first!

Tbh the Zapp Xtra was great in principle but in reality a utter sham, when I finally got to see one there was no way I was going to part my cash. I raised the extra to buy the Bee+ instead.

But othedr than Quinny related items I have onthe whole found Dorel to be rather pleasant.

Peg Perego Si Light Weight Stroller on Offer (amazon.com) .... looks like the bebe confort streety?
Will have a try and see if they will ship to UK...not that I need another stroller. The green or orange ones seem cheaper..... what is the UK equivalent buggy then? Is it a Mamas and Papas Pliko?

yes peg perego are mamas and papas.
