Does anyone know if you can take the Dazzle covers off and wash them?

Also has anyone had a Combi Dash DX, Bebecar Rversus or Inglesina Ottuto?

no im so in two minds dis its a lovely pushchair lovely colours, if it folded umbrella it would be no prob but it won't go in my under stairs cupboard, i have a big recess under my stairs but thats where nipper is going to live!!

SparklyGothKat · 15/03/2009 20:19

anyone want any bee or cam bits??

my ebay bits

carrielou2007 · 15/03/2009 20:19

Sal, I did sell the cam seat whilst you were away, sorry

I loved my cam all those how can you pay that much for a buggy were swiftly answered. So I bought my bee thinking I know what I am getting and will love it just as much yet I hated it! How much money for a plastic contraption that my dd's (think was 18/19 months) head almost hit the hood??

Then I love my volo that was 53 quid in Boots sale!! I was in my local tiny Mothercare today and they were oohing over my black xt. We don't get much excitment here!!!

Disenchanted3 · 15/03/2009 20:20

yeah, you def need apples quest

BeehiveBaby · 15/03/2009 20:34

Anyone know how much fabric you need for a custom Bee hood?

sal1309 · 15/03/2009 20:54

lol carrie now worries my dd is virtually walking every where now but im determined to get a cam in lol

Hopi · 15/03/2009 21:15

Okay, I need some serious advice fellow addicts

I have got for the new baby:

A Micralite Toro
Apple Quest Mod
Quinny Zapp
Petite Star Zia

I also have a maxi cosi car seat...The Zapp is simply to use as a frame for the car seat on the school run. The Micralite will be my main pram / pushchair and the apples Quest will be for a bit later on when baby is bigger just because I like it and I like Maclarens for their ease of use.

So do I sell all and get a Bee instead? As far as I can tell, the Bee can do everything that this little lot can do but in one system. Hmmmm, I just can't decide!

I also have loads of various accessories for each of the pushchairs that I have got, pram liners, footmuffs, bug shields etc. So I could sell everything and have more than enough to replace it all with a Bee and a few accessories. Aaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhhh! What to do?

carrielou2007 · 15/03/2009 21:18

Hopi I would sell me the apples Mod.

I would keep the zapp to sling the car seat on for school run then sell it.

I would ditch the zia ( it will otherwise literally fall to pieces on you)

Sal, how about a bright pink maclaren triumph used twice (just not for me!!!)

Disenchanted3 · 15/03/2009 21:18

Oh gosh I don't know!!

sal1309 · 15/03/2009 21:28

dis ive got an xt and a quest (i love my maclarens lol) Ive also got a bn 4 seasons but not sure i want to use it because of the colour lol.

Im determinded to try the cam before she is too big as ive always wanted one lol

hopi cant really help you as ive never had a bee or any off the others apart from the quest and i love maclarens

Disenchanted3 · 15/03/2009 21:30

I dont know whether to keep my BN quest, will i use it when I have bee?

pebbles79 · 15/03/2009 21:30

Hopi the sensible part of me says sell them all and get a Bee but the pramaholic says no because I'm never happy with only having 1 pram!! I've got to have a choice.

Hopi · 15/03/2009 21:30

Lol! I love Maclarens too so if I did sell all then it might have to be minus the Maclaren

nicolamumof3 · 15/03/2009 21:44

can you use maxi cosi on bee? if so you can ditch the zapp and the petite star zia? can't see why you need that tbh if you've zapp and the mac? everyone needs a mac. im seriously missing mine!!! want sals 4 seasons and dis' apples mac, but looks like i am keeping my luna mix which is silling for me to be sad as i like everything about it apart from the fold.

Hopi · 15/03/2009 21:50

Yep, can put maxi cosi on the Bee. I'm just not sure about the single handle (where do I put my shopping lol!) and the fold. Although I suppose it is going to fold a lot smaller than the Micralite. But then that has the air tyres. Oh I'm so confused!!!!!

nicolamumof3 · 15/03/2009 21:57

i wouldn't hang shopping on the toro either tho tbh? no nothing of bees, had toro, had many maclarens and had zapp which i loved too!

pebbles79 · 15/03/2009 22:33

The Zapp frame couldn't take any shopping either.

SparklyGothKat · 16/03/2009 00:09

I have had 2 bees and I love them. Small fold, nippy, big hood. I have pushchair clips on mine for shopping. Only thing is do not let your kids run with it, they are easy to tip as my dd1 found out one day in the school playground

BeehiveBaby · 16/03/2009 07:49

If the money will allow, I would sell Zapp and Zia for a Bee too. I wouldn't be without my Micralite and it will be lovely to have a carrycot pram. Relatives love a Maclaren when looking after baby IME and they are just so simple and nice to use on public transport.

Hopi · 16/03/2009 08:18

I think I need to go and have a look at the Bees in the flesh to see if that helps me to decide.
BeehiveBaby I would need to sell the Micralite too to get the funds for the Bee, plus I don't think hubby will allow me to have 2 main systems in the house, lol!
I WILL be keeping the Maclaren though, that is the only one that I adore at the moment, the others I love but I'm not sure about IYSWIM.
Gosh, I really wish money grew on trees and then I would have them all!!!!!!

nicolamumof3 · 16/03/2009 08:23

its space that is the issue for me, im sick of prams everywhere, i only want one main pram and an umbrella fold that i can tuck under the stairs or easy for car. im not a fan of bees when i looked at them just couldn't believe how tiny the seats are?

BeehiveBaby · 16/03/2009 08:33

I am hoping that the Bee seat is like my Fastfold, ie looks small without baby in it but is actually fine!

nicolamumof3 · 16/03/2009 08:35

lol i don't like the fastfold either, hope you find its ok for you. i remember looking when my son was about 14m and realised theres no way he'd fit, i know people do use them for toddlers tho.

misdee · 16/03/2009 08:36

i want a micralite, but ended up witha frog

Hopi · 16/03/2009 08:44

I've had a frog but didn't really like it I do like the Toro as the seat looks a lot bigger than the fastfold but I'm just not sure about the rest of it! If I have the Toro then I have to have the Zapp for leaping out of the car on the school run to clip the car seat on to (the Toro would take too long to get in and out of the car!) If I get the Bee then it will do the job of the Toro and the Zapp but the seat does look really small and I don't really like the shopping trolley wheels. Oh why is it so difficult to decide? I've still got over 3 months before baby is here too!!!!!!!!
