What are the differences between xt and xlr?
In a nutshell.

4andnotout · 22/01/2010 12:25

Thanks Nicola I'll go ahead then it's the silver handles I love although I was a bit gutted they are plastic rather than metal, now just got to decide what footmuff to get I fell in love with a poshbugs bug bee Hello Kitty footmuff on eBay but I'm not sure if it would fit. If not I quite fancy a Paul frank one from chunkle munkle, dp is going to have to be kept in the dark about the prices though!

nicolamumof3 · 22/01/2010 12:35

xlr has wider seat as can accomodate recaro carseat and now also soft carrycot avail for xlr

Thats about it the chassis is overall bigger too so heavier/bulkier but luka has so much room in it its fine for me as mine stays up all the time!!

i have quest too now as well of course!

FlyMeToDunoon · 22/01/2010 12:40

Ok thanks. Think I will stick with my xt.
Doesn't everyone have a quest now?
Or two!

I'm sure either Poshbugs or Chunkle Munkle could make you a Hello Kitty footmuff to fit 4and - I got a lovely liner and stayput blanket from Sarah at Chunkle Munkle which looks lovely.

5inthebed · 22/01/2010 13:18

Aha, sound you all!

Did you see the picture of my Quest in the old thread? Ds3 is in it as well .

He looks huge sitting in the Quest, I'm thinking is because I have the BS on it though. Small wheels still putting me off though . Stuck in the house today, ds2 off school poorly (apparently has diarreah).

BexieID · 22/01/2010 14:31

Everyone, keep your eye out for a cheap Nipper 360 in red or black for me please. Tom seems to be walking fine, although not had a wet/windy day yet, and was thinking it's a shame only using P&T as a glorified travel system. Finding carrying Erin in car seat a bit hard-going, so was going to leave in car.

Anyone know anyone who has had one of these?. I know it says for children with special needs, but it is a group 2-3 car seat with an integral harness.

nicolamumof3 · 22/01/2010 15:00

5in so sorry i did type a reply not sure where that went. I can't believe how big ds3 has got so grown up looks so scrummy! as does buggy!! i love that snuggle.

bex do you want a double or single nipper?

FlyMeToDunoon · 22/01/2010 15:53

5in the buggysnuggle looked gorgeous on the Quest. However I agree about the wheels. Don't think I could go smaller than the xt now.

Hi all, thought everyone gone out to do something exciting today
4out, there are couple of black xt`s one bay and they seem to sell 110 max if used.so if the price is including postage, sort of ok price. re-liner Sarah, chunkle munkle does gorgeous ones. You got to see Pebbles bacl xt pics made me want one
5in, lime star Bs looks super cool with apples mac
Nicola, What would you prefer xt or spitfire? Is spitfire ryder? Im thinking of getting black xt or spitfire. It got to be something different exciting for me

4andnotout · 22/01/2010 16:12

I have looked at a few on ebay but dp said he would rather pay the extra £50 and be able to pick it up the same day and have it brand new and have the warrentee, This is what i have fallen in love with!

Pebbles ooh you have pics of yours all accessorised?

I really can't wait to go and get it next week, sad isn't it, will bring the tally up to 4 but may have bit of a cull

pebbles79 · 22/01/2010 16:15

Couple of pics of my XT here, here and here

Divatheshopaholic · 22/01/2010 16:17

I realised Xt was 156 at Boots.com but sold out. I wondered if they got them in stores.
Hello Kitty muff is soo cute. Pebbles is accessory queen, she has lovely muff and liners

pebbles79 · 22/01/2010 16:22

Thank you Diva

4andnotout · 22/01/2010 16:22

Pebbles that looks lovely! I especially like the idea of a bumper bar, dd4 is a tiny little dot so would love to sit up and hold onto that. I love the second picture that is gorgeous

Diva, yes it's a shame they are out of stock otherwise i'd have price matched with kiddicare and got 15% back

nicolamumof3 · 22/01/2010 16:47

diva im not so keen on spitfire. prefer the xt go for it!! has your quest sold?

FlyMeToDunoon · 22/01/2010 16:51

I am slightly shocked that Diva knows that Pebbles has a nice muff.

Something you two haven't been telling us?

Lol, I always PMSL when people write that too

5inthebed · 22/01/2010 19:18

Diva, I have had both black XT and Spitfire, and I preferred the spitfire. Wasn't keen on the handles on the XT, I prefer my macs to have foam handles. Plus you get all those pretty accesories with the spitfire and a different colour frame.

Going to take the apples mac out tomorrow and see if it's just me being silly. If not, one of my friends is going to buy it off me.

nicolamumof3 · 22/01/2010 19:39

i bought some badger 'night night' balm in waitrose today have smothered it over boys chests. god i need some sleep!!!!!

maxybrown · 22/01/2010 20:03

badgers and muffs? I go to my Mum's and come back to badgers and muffs?!!!!!!!!! Oh that had me laughing Dunoon.

I love spitfire Diva but still hankering after a baby jogger

I like bigger wheels too 5in, i still haven't even had the quest out of the box. Must do that

StrictlyKatty · 22/01/2010 20:13

nicolamumof3 · 22/01/2010 20:15
