Replacement Mclaren Raincover?
NotQuiteCockney · 30/01/2005 20:25
I have a Mclaren pram - one of their 3 months + ones, bought three years ago. It still works pretty well, and I don't want a new one. I do however want a new raincover, as DS1 kicked through the old one.
I'd rather not get a "universal" raincover, as the old one really really fit it. I guess I could look in used shops for the same model, and just salvage the raincover from it, but surely there's got to be a way to get a replacement one from Mclaren? And if so, why can't I find them online? Help!

Try here . Customer services were pretty good when I needed a new spring for the closing clip on ours.

God I know I'm bored at work when I'm tryign to answer everyones queries; I've done toddler activities and books for 7 year olds.
No idea if you can get replacemnt raincovers but I bought an accesory pack ofr a volo which had a raincover in it, not sure if they fit all of them though

def you can buy replacement covers. where do you live notquitecockney?

I'm in East London. I've found a list of service agents on the Mclaren uk website, hopefully one of them will be able to help. I think our buggy is a Triumph, but they've since changed the style a bit? Gah.
The sunshade thing is a bit broken, too, but not enough to stop working, really.

Warning - I had to get a replacement hood from McC which cost almost as much as the buggy did

Really, Cod? That would be lovely. Your lot are entirely out of buggies now?
puddle, I think the hood is ok as is. I do look at the pram, knackered as it is, and think, maybe I want a new one ... but really, the functional bits are all ok, and do I really care about it looking a bit grotty?
