Does anyone know if all silver cross parasols fit the dazzle?

I don't think they do but don't quote me on that...

I also have the dazzle so need a parasol for hols in a few weeks time. My local pram shop are onto sc as their accessory pack is advertised on their site BUT not for sale anywhere atm.
The pack inc a bag,umbrella and footmuff. Not after the other stuff just the parasol BUT they are also checking if other parasols fit and if not if they will sell them seperate..Hmm....hope its not a marketing/sale ploy fom sc...

Let me know how you get on.

BTW, my reasons are because of the frame shape. Its a square/flat frame not roubded iykwim like others...xx

Thanks ever so much for that - i'm so glad i didn't order one of their normal ones. I'm looking for a parasol for my holiday too - def don't want the rest of the stuff either :-) I've emailed silver cross and will post back if they contact me.

ohhhh let me know if they get back to you sotheran please...
I called my local pram store back today and they checked with sc (stupid that we can't call them ourselves ..) and they said it won't be launched till june so they guess stock by mid june..Hmm we go away 2nd june...TBH, I never thought about this when I ordered the pram as it seems stupid that they launch the pram and accessories 6+ months later...

BUT my pra store did say that the parasols they stock, apparently the NINA one is most compatable...Not sure if there are others..cost about £15.

Let me know if you find out more...thing is I want the cheapest BUT I would also like one that matches as I think the umbrella will slot into one of the little brackets on the pram iykwim..(like the hood and footmuff do..) xx

shhhh · 06/05/2008 20:16

£10 inc p&p on ebay

sotheran · 06/05/2008 23:22

Thanks ever so much for that. No email back from Silver Cross as yet. We go away on the 7th of June so no good for us either :-(

What a great pram shop - they must've tried them all out for you :-)

ohhh thanks so much for that. Im off to give them a call now as only want the parasol and not the whole pack...

Hmm, maybe not in time for hols BUT would like one that eventually matches so ma just buy a cheepie iykwim...IME its best in long term to get one that is for that pram etc as I always find that universal ones never fit perfect.

Are you getting one or getting a universal one..? Our pram is black (sadly colours just launched...) so possibly black..Thanks again. MUMSNET is brill..!!!

shhhh · 07/05/2008 14:51

Just ordered it..!! THANKYOU sotheran .

Due wc 26/05 so hopefully it will come then so in time for hols...It may be worth you placing an order and asking them to call you when in stock to check you still want iykwim..Thats what the guy I spoke to suggested. BUT I want it regardless..Just hope it comes on time... Thanks again x

sotheran · 08/05/2008 22:44

I've been ooming and aaaahing and have decided to get it (I think )I'm going to phone them tomorrow - been a busy bee today. Ours is black too so will probably get a black one too - I'm not sure any of the new colours would really go. I was thinking about a red one before I found out that they did Dazzle ones.

Mumsnet really is great - fingers crossed it comes in time for your holiday. Oooh and have a lovely holiday

OP posts:
shhhh · 09/05/2008 07:42

BTW they only do black or silver so guess that makes your mind up for it..!!! .

Good luck with your decision....worth it imo. Hope yours is in time for your hols as well and enjoy yourself xx

sotheran · 09/05/2008 12:14

I've ordered it in black - she said week starting the 19th so maybe they'll arrive earlier Oooooh silver might've been nice. I need to get out more - I can't even make a simple decision anymore!!!!!

OP posts:
shhhh · 09/05/2008 14:00

oh even earlier would be better..Don't worry I had the same decision to make..I also came off thinking..Hmmmm silver would have been nice..

TBH, sad as it sounds you want to see me pushing ds in the pram...Like a peecock ..!!

I so love the pram..!!

sotheran · 23/05/2008 23:08

Silver cross phoned me today and I got really excited as they said they had my parasol and were going to post it out..... then the lady said 'jet parasol' and the long and the short of it is that the original lady I'd talked to at Silver Cross had ordered me a jet normal parasol by mistake! Apparently they're now expected in at the start of June which will probably be to late for our holiday as we leave on the 7th.

OP posts:
shhhh · 29/05/2008 09:36

sothern..only just read this as looking for number to chase sc...spoke to them then read your post!

Well today they said its now going to be the end of june.....

Hmm, now have to find a unversal one..any luck your end.? (we go mon 2nd btw)

sotheran · 30/05/2008 12:45

They've not taken any money so I guess that I'll order one of the ones you recommended. What a pain - really wanted the matching one

Have a lovely holiday. We're going to Majorca but apparently it's not that hot over there at the moment grrrrh.

OP posts:
shhhh · 30/05/2008 12:56

Yeah, the said to me yesterday that they won't take payment till dispatched and will call to say when.

I agree, I also wanted a matching one..... I think ds's unbrella off his quinny bizz will fit with the original attachment. So will make do with that. Save pennies I suppose..Let me know how you get on with the one above.

Hopefully the weather will change before you go..Marbella (we are off to) apparently is quite warm atm. Bliss..

xx

aquamum · 27/06/2008 19:40

sotheran....have you heard anything more..? We are back from our hols but I still would like the matching parsaol..the universal one was such a nightmare on hols and just hope this one would be ideal...

Looking at the website, its launched but not heard anything.....

shhhh · 27/06/2008 19:42
