Happy Birthday FMTD!

SweetApril · 24/03/2009 14:02

Oh, brilliant, thanks! Good price too. How funny that it should have arrived today! Did you just take a gamble that it would fit?

I was a bit worried that I'd somehow killed the pushchair thread as it all went quiet for a while

FlyMeToDunoon · 24/03/2009 14:02

Thank you.
Off out with my volo in a minute as it fits through the gate into Calverly Park-you know? The kissing gate.

nicolamumof3 · 24/03/2009 14:07

i want your volo!!!!!!

MrsM is the handle of the BJCM quite high then? What height are you?

Actually I think we are staying in for a while as DP has just fallen asleep on sofa and DDs are watching a dvd quite happily while I MN.

MrsMagooo · 24/03/2009 14:56

SweetApril No it's the same one I bought for my Infinity when I had that so I figured if it fitted my Infinity it would fit the BJCM & it does to an absolute T!

Pebbles I'm 5'8" & love my handles to be nice & high, the BJCM 104cms at it's highest point so a good height for me although I'd still have it higher if I could!

BeehiveBaby · 24/03/2009 15:06

Hello guys.

Can someone help? I ended up buying a new bee and checked before that they had received delivery recently, but the box says production October 2008. Will that be the latest model do you think? From the reviews I have read the chassis had quite a few improvements at the time of the pink release which obviously I want

Happy Birthday Flyme!!!

Just picked up my zapp and it's fab. Really lovely condition. Dd easily fits in the footmuff (oops meant to be selling that bit!!) Really really pleased with it.

So have black xt, used volo on school run yesterday (and loved it) zapp for holidays, oh and triumph and black quest.

Funny how I think can't take the volo away as there is no recline yet would take zapp. Should keep the triumph and zapp (both hot pink) but will keep then all for a bit longer.

Nicola help me decide what stays and what goes!! (and how is the apples quest will I have to buy one of those too??!!)

sweetkitty · 24/03/2009 15:18

Happy Birthday FMTD

carrielou - is that you at 5 pushchairs now

I wish I had seen the BJCM offer at Argos before it went out of stock what a bargain

Just waiting for my bits from M&P to arrive then I can spruce up the Luna see if I like it, still want a Zapp though.

nicolamumof3 · 24/03/2009 15:20

no apples quest as yet...wonder if its coming. dp says we can take nipper on tube anyway, just go backwards on escalator maybe he's right

glad you like zapp i miss mine such a lovely push i don't care what anyone says (nearly bought a breen one yday!)

right i think you have too many buggies carrielou i would sell the lot! keep the zapp and xt only. seriously you don't need volo and the zapp. i'd sooner have zapp for hols (personally i'd take zapp for plane and check the xt into hold!) and as you do alot of walking get something with air tyres. you could sell triumph, quest and volo and have a nice bit to put towards something else!

nicolamumof3 · 24/03/2009 15:21

beehive not ignoring you just know nothing of bees, but isn't the pink hood the latest one??

carrielou2007 · 24/03/2009 15:30

I am selling the quest, another mnetter is having it but not heard from her for a few weeks so hope everything is ok.

I do want to sell the triumph but should be sensible and keep it and sell the xt. Keep zapp and volo (for when dd is bigger and when I can't stand the trumph any more!!)

Made another cake today as had come pears and plums going off - have just had two huge slices with butter yummy!! Not sure how much will make it into the freezer!

carrielou2007 · 24/03/2009 15:33

Beehive the pink Bee's were not avail in the UK until autumn I think, so they should have the improvements?

pebbles79 · 24/03/2009 15:34

Gutted! Mamas and papas can't sell me a replacement part for my Luna because it's riveted on, I could send it to them for repair but would cost between £25 and £50 so not worth it

sweetkitty · 24/03/2009 15:58

Peebles - that's disappointing, can you maybe try and buy an old one for spares? Is it really knackered without it?

Ladies - whats the Zapp like to fold compared to say a Maclaren, I mean is it quick one handed whilst holding baby in other hand?

nicolamumof3 · 24/03/2009 16:00

i think the seat size on the xt would be better for your dd tho? and the nice tilting hood for summer, keep xt and sell smaller macs

carrielou2007 · 24/03/2009 16:00

SK no chance!! Maclaren easy with your eyes closed at the same time. Zapp, you need 3 hands so no good for on a bus say?

sweetkitty · 24/03/2009 16:07

That's disappointing Carrie, don't go on buses but want the easiest one foot on the back and it's up easiness of a Maclaren for the car. I have 3 under 5 so it's the quicker the better IYSWIM?

nicolamumof3 · 24/03/2009 16:11

maclaren defo, the zapp is a fiddly fold plus it doesn't clip together, maclarens are easiest fold i'd say a quest for the bus.

MrsMagooo · 24/03/2009 16:11

Got to be a BJCM for ease of folding. Totally agree with Carrie no chance of folding Zapp with one hand, one of the many reasons I sold mine!

pebbles79 · 24/03/2009 16:19

No, it's not totally knackered at all, still perfectly usable but you just can't keep one side of the legrest in the upright position. Well, you can but it droops a bit, still perfect when the legrest is down. Have listed it with it's fault on ebay anyway and just going to sell it all seperately (two things already sold!)
