accessory packs for buggies - are they worth it?

[peachygirl]

I'm on the verge of buying a silver cross 3d Pram system and the accessory pack costs another £70.
It has a cosy toes, which I won't need until next winter as baby will go in it as the pram initially, a parasol and a bag both of which I know I can get anywhere.

i have never used a parasol as i prefer shade-a-babes, and i use my trusty little company bag.

hello again! as you can see I still haven't bought my buggy and now time is running out!!!.
I love the look of those fleecy cosytoes and if I got the fabric would probably be able to make my own.
Someone else said parasols can be difficult on MN a few days ago.

I saw you thread last night How's your DH/ DP?

the fleece on the buggysnuggles are very thick good quality. i am useless at putting zips in, but i think you could make a pouch one easily.

so what prams ahev you looked at? the silvercross prams are lovely.

dh is fine. very sleepy, but thats normal for him. no more beeping thank goodness.

did you know pliko mods are half price atm at £125 btw you could add an ice my pod at £75 and hav a very cosy system.

my pods

I can do zips I put on in the skirt of my wedding dress as my mum who hated zips didn't want to do that part .
I'm pretty much decided now on the silver cross 3D system. I need to get my act together to purchase it.
I do know a great fabric shop in London - it does a lot of stage fabric and they may have the fleeces

oh the 3d is similar is style to a pramette. it looks lovely.

hmmm interesting I loooked at these before.

i would actually stick with the 3d now, as it folds in one piece, whereas with the my pods you have to seperate it.

I have agonised long and hard over this and probably will go for the 3d now, I had a slight confidence crisis over it as the matching car seat doesn't fit in the car - not a big worry and the pushchair only just fits in. My mum had a silver cross carrige pram and I think she also likes the idea that I am following in the family tradition
Thanks misdee, glad the beeping has stopped

i am working on a silvercross coach built pram atm, just needs a few finishing touches and it will be finished (brake pads are very important).

oh and dont worry about matching car seats, IMo its better to take the baby out of the car seat when actually not in the car.
