HELP ..... SIlver Cross instructions please !

12 replies

crystaltips · 20/09/2005 17:36

I am a volunteer for Home-Start and 13 years ago I bought the Silver Cross 3-in-1 pram combination.
I have dragged it out of the attic and am giving it to a single Mum in need of a bit of support. Only trouble is I cannot remember how it all works and I was wondering whether or not you might have any spare instructions please.
Your help would be greatly appreciated as I think it's going to be stressful enough for this poor girl.

I have contacted SIlver Cross direct - but as yet - to no avail
Thank you

Which one is it - I had a carrycot, adjustable pushchair seat and chrome sprung chassis with fixed wheels, about 12" diameter.

SOunds the very same - except for the wheels - these ones can lock or unlock.

The buggie bit can go flat for newborns or flip it over and it takes toddlers.

hmm - doesn't sound quite the same as ours which is reversible and lies flat but definitely doesn't flip. It was similar to this one and had an interchangeable carrycot body.

My mum had one like this but different fabric. If either looks the same as yours I may be able to guide you !

crystaltips · 20/09/2005 20:51

Yup ! That's it LIZS !!
Sorry .... the one that your Mum had !
Hope you can help..... my heart is going out to this young girl ... I just want to make her life easier

its called a wayfarer i had one for ds1. don't think that i have any instructions but will have a look for you.

Not sure she has any written instructions but what do you need to know ? iirc there is a rectangular frame which supports the carry cot horizontally or can be fitted with the fabric seat which reclines by pulling the red levers outon both sides, swivelling it and then tightening the levers. We've used it a few times when visiting - perhaps between us and vickiyumyum we can help you.

I've had a fiddle about and I have managed to work out how it works ... it's just that I won't be meeting this girl and I just wanted to tuck in the instructions in to make a life a bit eassier for her IYKWIM

Crystaltips - just emailed you so if you forward an address I can pop it in post for you tomorrow.

crystaltips · 25/09/2005 21:11

ooooh yoyo - just got back from a weekend away ( grotty! ) to find your instructions on the doorstep. You are an angel Thankyou.
Not only did you photocopy all the relevant bits - but you had to fork out on the postage as well.
I was going to send you the postage in return - but there was no returning address

I have put a note on the bottom of the papers you sent - for the new mum - telling her all about the search for these instructions - and that should she ever have the need - that there are loads of wonderful mums on MN who will gladly chat to her and give her advice.....

So, consider that - your good deed for the day ( no! Week )
THANKS again
