August is better than my retailer! My retailer got told from kooltrade today the versa is now pushed back until September and the gt version October maybe! :( boo x

liswee · 18/06/2012 16:43

Hopefully that may just be for her pre-orders and I could perhaps source it earlier from others if it is maybe August - so impatient!:)

That's better than I know too! I was told August for the regular Versa with the GT circa 6 weeks later. But it would be fab if your retailer is correct.

Was is Ladybugs? I'd like to know if there are any other stockists.

I spoke to them today and they said late August so probably not available for my early Sept due date. It's been pushed back already so I wonder if it would happen again.

Tiggywunkle · 20/06/2012 01:41

It can always happen again! The UK distributors are at the mercy of Baby Jogger in the UK and pushchairs are always later than anticipated anyway (I always add two months to any dates given these days).
There are other stockists - I believe Baby Baby are stocking the GT but I haven't phoned up to ask. Probably Winstanley's Pramworld would be worth a call. But the Versa GT will come from the same place and I know Ladybugs have a large allocation.

Thank you x

Lydali · 22/06/2012 09:26

Just wondering, do we know which country the Versa GT will be launched first? Because I believe this is the one for me and if I can get it from another source in time, i'll do it x

Tiggywunkle · 22/06/2012 17:47

I think in Europe. But I dont think it will be much before. I think there must be a distributor who covers Europe.

BedHeadTigi · 23/06/2012 14:52

I would like to see one of these before i commit to buying it, the versa looks lovely with the black frame. The most important thing about it i need to know is if my baby could sit up nice and straight in the seat, as the pushchair i have at the moment makes her slump in the seat as the back does not seem to sit up forward enough.

Tiggywunkle · 24/06/2012 12:42

I think the seats are pretty good. I have only tried the Versa with my eldest in, but the best I can suggest is that you hunt out a City Select and try your baby in that seat as they seem very similar. My baby was fine after 6 months in the City Select seats - no slumping here!

I have had an update from my local pram shop that the versa (regular) is due to dock 28th August and will be in store start of September and that the GT Versa will be October but no specific date yet - just wondered if anyone else had heard anything so I can confirm that my retailer has the right information? I kind of hope she is telling me later dates to surprise me with it early but me thinks that is just wishful thinking! :)

Tiggywunkle · 17/07/2012 20:20

That matches my information.

liswee · 17/07/2012 21:03

Oh boo :( - thanks though tiggywunkle

Tiggywunkle · 17/07/2012 21:35

The BJCMGTs arrived early though and surprised Kooltrade so you never know :) Fingers crossed! I thought the June would be here miles before, but it looks like the two coud arrive around the same time which will make for an interesting comparison.

Lydali · 18/07/2012 10:13

I called Ladybugs last week and they said October to me too. I also called a local shop who just happened to be placing an order with BJ that day, they asked for me also and came back with Oct.
This made my final decision for me so I have now bought a V2 Nipper with carrycot and maxicosi adaptors. It's a shame I never got the GT but I'm delivering 1st week in Sept.

ellangirl · 20/07/2012 21:07

Lydali I think there's only a delay on versa gt, BJCMGT are in stock many places already. Question though, what carrycot can you put on a nipper V2, cos I thought it only had car seat adapters, not carrycot?

Tiggywunkle · 20/07/2012 21:31

There is a new Nipper carrycot on the way for the single pushchair.
The BJCMGT has been out for a while but there's been a gap between the first batches and the next lot due in.

ellangirl · 20/07/2012 21:56

Hi Tiggy. I had a retailer tell me today they have BJCMGT in stock (well a couple anyway) so that's all I'm going on.
Interesting news about nipper v2 carrycot, How do I find out more? I always liked the look of a nipper as a pushchair but I would want a carrycot. Btw, you have me advice on buggy boards for the gt a while ago and I have to say I got a chance to try one with my son on it and it wouldn't really work for us- too awkward to push! Think I would use a sling/pushchair combo if I wanted to transport both!

Tiggywunkle · 21/07/2012 00:20

I spotted the Nipper carryot on the Out N About Facebook page. It may well be on their website but my computer is playing up tonight.
I dont like buggy boards - I find them too difficult to push. If you get a BJCMGT and your eldest needs to hitch a ride, then what worked for me was to push the baby right to the back of the flat recline in the harness, and then there's lots of room for a child to sit flat on the seat pad with an additional harness on. Not safety tested, nor am I recommending it, but its a good stand by option!

ellangirl · 21/07/2012 09:18

I remembered you saying that, and was eyeing up the nice big seat thinking what a good (albeit makeshift) solution it was! Can't see it in website but will have a look on fb page, thanks.

Lydali · 21/07/2012 23:51

It's definitely the GT that I wanted, I need the tyres around here.

Yep, it's on Out n About's facebook page. And the place I bought my Nipper from let me order it, it's expected in a couple of weeks. But to be honest I'd like it not to be in until late August so I don't need to collect it until then, lol
