Vit is from Babyvalue but I am not impressed since I paid for it last Friday and got e-mail today to say my order was still being processed and would be despatched soon.

Have also decided to get MB hood from Poshbugs in black with ladybirds on.

Mind you she is very slow at replying to e-mails so when it will ever get started I don't know.

welcome back nicola, hope you had fab time.

Maclaren · 18/02/2009 23:01

So Diva did you sell your MB?

nappyaddict · 18/02/2009 23:44

Nicola woo hoo glad you're back!! Need to ask you about XLR and Obaby Vintage. Which do you prefer and why?

lillypie · 18/02/2009 23:57

Welcome back nicola
I have washed Zap covers in the machine with no probs.

nappyaddict · 19/02/2009 00:03

Has anyone washed a luna shopping basket in the washing machine?

nicolamumof3 · 19/02/2009 06:59

Morning all! thanks for that lillypie will have a go later with the zapp covers. i know the maclaren ones will be fine.

Nappy i love the xlr for the large seat, the wheels are bigger than obaby and have suspension, i love the handles too. has nice viewing window, the seat is really wide so great for a toddler. Tate is average size 3.2yr old and does not look big in it or feel heavy to push.

However i love the obaby too, such great value i don't think i can get rid of it yet! its a quarter of the price of the 09 xlr's but i bought an 08 xlr just purely because i preferred the design/colours. i have just bought some tan/crimson covers for the xlr. the xlr is v.big when folded tho and heavy. but i don't find it heavy to push at all. what will you be using it for will it be main pushchair or just boot of car job? if main pushchair i would go for xlr.

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 19/02/2009 07:36

Morning all, welcome back Nicola :D

Dunoon, I bought a Vit through them 3-4 weeks ago and it took almost a week

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 19/02/2009 07:37

oh and my BJCM purchase fell through, buyer pulled out so am on the looklout again, black only, if you see one,s give me a heads up please?

elmoandella · 19/02/2009 08:07

marypoppins - mrsm is on first shout for any black BJCM.lol.she's been hunting one down for weeks now.

nicola - glad your hols went well. i got a jane powertrack in red and a red footmuff i need to go pick up from post office as got delivered yesterday while i was in shower.

dunoon - i like sound of ladybird hood.

right. should shift. gotta get to bank for it opening then off to soft play.

nicolamumof3 · 19/02/2009 08:14

that sounds nice elmo! i think im going to sell p&t and get a new three wheeler for hols. hows xt?

i love my xlr and my zapp. both were great for hols! tilting hood on xlr was a godsend so glad i didn't have to just have obaby. but i did need two lie back pushchairs as we walked loads and both of them slept every day in pushchairs!

claret1980 · 19/02/2009 08:34

Glad to have you back Nicola. I'm thinking when DS2 gets bigger I'm gonna get an XLR. Sold the techno so if I can get a box, I will have it picked up tomorrow. I have emailed seller of buzz and I'm hoping that I can get it picked up tomorrow as well.

I love my P&T.

MrsMagooo · 19/02/2009 08:53

Morning all,

TOMP I am so jealous of you getting a BJCM still holding out for my black one!!

Ooppss just spotted your above post!! Me first, me first PMSL!! Been hunting down a black one for a few months now!!

Heather at Poshbugs makes lovely hoods, you have to unscrew the rods but worth it!

Maclaren did you not like the switch?

Elmo Elmo (& Ella for that matter) will look scrummy in the red nest!!

Nicola glad you had a nice hol!

Bexie I've still got hold of that Bagabottle for you

Got my Skate footmuff, comfort packs & bumper cover today! The liner, buggy organiser & storage bag will be here next weekish

All very snuggly in the Skate for Elijah now

Got a Britax Verve last week but doubt I'll keep it as not really very keen.

Dunoon When I've bought from BV it' only taken a few days for me to get my pram.

nappyaddict · 19/02/2009 09:00

Nicola I like the 08 colours of the XLR too. But then I could get a brand new obaby cheaper than I could get a 2nd hand XLR. Would you say the obaby feels heavier to push then?

elmoandella · 19/02/2009 09:06

still loving my xt. but thinking having 2 singles was good idea as sometimes ds doesn't want to go with exdp and we need a single each.

nappyaddict · 19/02/2009 09:08

Tell him to get his own pushchair!

MrsMagooo · 19/02/2009 09:09

Elmo tell him if he wants to use a pushchair to either go buy his own or give you some cash to buy one for him!!!!!!!!!
