mine is currently in the for sale section. will add a pic to my profile in a minute as well. i have been stopped loads when i use it. i only picked it up a few weeks ago, and it is a project to finish off and sell complete really, but will be sad to see it go. my dd3 is over 2years old, and she absolutly loves it, she thinks she is like royalty in it.

MrsBadger · 31/07/2007 09:55

I think vinyl has gone out of fashion just cause it gets sweaty, not because it's particularly dangerous.
Easy to line it with a blanket or something.

MadEyeMisdee · 31/07/2007 09:56

picture now added. i put a blanket in it currently for dd3.

jane2004 · 01/08/2007 10:24

its was literally a project. as it is now, with some scratches (i need to buy a replacement basket bracket and a set of brake pads next week) it will be £180.

if she is interested in it at that price then let me know ASAP as was going to buy the extras for it (bag and sun canopy) but that would push the price up to well over £250.

jane2004 · 03/08/2007 11:19

thanks
were is it advertised on here can i ask

We're going to my parents' for a couple of weeks and my mum said she's got the pram out (we live abroad and are leaving ours here). I have no idea whether it predates me (1968) or whether they got it for my brother, but even then it won't be newer than 1972...I think the wheels are like MadEyeMisdees's, but it may have a carrycot top - can that be right? Would they have had carrycot tops back then?

We also have an old Britax there that my brother left up there for us.

Meandmy, yes that's a great feature on a pushchair :O

jane2004 · 09/08/2007 10:54

still nice to see people using older pushchairs and prams feel beter now
