asked practicalpushchairs they said no for months until stock gets flowing again.

hmm, 200 is double what i paid for buggy.

Will have to keep eye out on ebay.

(shouldn't have bought thoseliners, they dont match,lol)

disenchanted i have the terrain covers in black but there is a patch of wear about 3 inches square on one side.

There is a dutch place that sells them for under £100 for double covers, mel2005 bought some. I'll find the link, disenchanted if you're still looking.

Morning all,

did'nt MB go into administration? I did'nt think you'd be able to get covers from them anymore unless 2nd hand.

How is everyone?

No problem Nicola someone else is interested in car that's why I checked with you first

Have decided to leave custom liner for BJCM as could do with using the funds for some other more important stuff

Does anyone know of a universal one that would fit? They are a fair bit cheaper so...

nicolamumof3 · 27/04/2009 08:26

Morning all!
paid for my xt thats getting picked up today, washed all the questcovers, even tho they weren't dirty lol! i just like it all nice and fresh, so it smells nice when whoever unpacks it receives it!! its boxed and ready to go 12 watchers on ebay so fingers crossed! am watching a zapp on breen tho with babyvalue have to see what that goes for, wanted one for months now so may give it a try.

Accqueen, that would be fab if you could find a link.

Mamadiva, i emaile practical pushchairs and they said someone has taken over the company and so they hae to wait until the new company gets stock flowing over to the UK again.

4andOut, will the terrain covers fit the urban? Have you got pics?

How much please or would you swap for red?

Cheers x

Yey for XT Nic

I always say I hate Zapps but Ive had 2 so mustn't have been too bad if I bought another after selling first?

Maybe I should get again to see

nicolamumof3 · 27/04/2009 09:19

lol mama!
i currently have my nipper 360 which i will keep as fab walking buggy and big seat and nice and comfy to push and light, i could go on i think they are fab for the money!

maclaren quest bought two weeks ago on ebay washed and packed and ready to go.

maclaren xt on its way today should be here tomorrow!!

thats me, not too many!!

i had a zapp but sold it couple months ago regretted it as love them. always wanted one in breen!

nicolamumof3 · 27/04/2009 09:23

i love zapps dis, i'd have another any day, think they are fab to use maxi cosi on too. i've never had any probs with tipping as some do. i think if its your only pushchair it would have too many negatives but for what it is its fab. came into its own when we got off plain at gatwick and had good 15min walk to baggage reclaim. great to not to have to carry luka had lots of envious looks from other passengers!

5inthebed · 27/04/2009 09:41

I've put a best offer on for a Pliko local to me for £30. With footmuff. I don't really want it, but going to strip down and sell for spares I think. Or leave it at MIL's for a spare. Its in fab condition, bet it doesn't get accepted though.

Watching a red Infinity as well with matching footmuff and bag. Fingers crossed!

4andnotout · 27/04/2009 10:44

disenchanted i saw an urban yesterday and it certainly looked like the same covers, i would probably need to swap for your red tho as otherwise i'd be coverless and im down to only 2 pushchairs (mb and p&t) My camera is still at my mums but i can do pictures if you were interested

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 27/04/2009 10:55

5in, I bought a Pliko/muff locally last tuesday for £20, got it home and strip washed it all, then whacked it on ebay for BIN £60 couriered and it was snapped up in just under an hour
nice wee profit of £30 for just washing a buggy

What colourway is it?

I just sold the * Volo woooo! I hate it
