Hahahaha Dis I was just coming here to see if you'd change your mind! How much was it? And how soon can you send it I can transfer the money right now. Can you tell me more about the condition of it?

Disenchanted3 · 05/05/2009 09:39

I'm just doing photos now, I've got a thread on forsale board... I'll put them on there in about 5 mins ...

I can send it as soon as payments cleared but XT lady sent transfer which she said would be instant but took 3 days to get to my bank.

BRB with photos ...

Fantastic advice, thank you so much i am on the case now to start saving. I have the obaby apex stroller at the moment only a month old and want to sell this. I have an advert on ebay just now. I think this is wonderfull but it just doesn't have that suspension i have been looking for. It is huge inside and my 3 year old sits lovely in it. Any tips on how to sell it quickly. Also do you think the bjce would travel abroad ok. Can i insure it for damage. I am so mad with myself. If i had just seen this first i would have saved a small fortune as i have had loads of strollers now and never happy. I have the wallaboo footmuff in black and wonder if this would fit the elite and still be able to fold ? I could sell that if not. thanks again i really appreciate the time you are taking to reply.

Not sure I like that Maclaren pram. Don't like the plastic look of it.

Dis, that lady isn't interested in MB as she is getting a wheelchair for her DD now. Thanks though.

I love my BJCM . It is going to be my recommended lightweight pram to anyone now. I think I might try sell my black mac and get the BJCE. Or am I just going to miss my mac?

MrsMagooo · 05/05/2009 10:04

Basl you can get get travel bags for both the Elite & the BJCM as well as wheel bags if you wanted extra protection. I have to say if it were me I would be more inclined to use the BJCM to take abroad as it's much lighter. However the fold is exactly the same, the one hand fold of pulling the strap so they fold exactly the same so no issues with that. On the BJCM all 3 wheels are quick release whereas with the BJCE the back wheels are quick release but the front wheel has to be unscrewed although pretty quick to do. When you fold the BJCE with the front wheel on though it folds flush with the chssis so doesn't sick out or anything like that. I'm not sure on the Wallaboo footmuff I'm afraid, I use either Kaisers or Snunkie footmuffs as find them the longest & cosiest.

MrsMagooo · 05/05/2009 10:05

Ooo go for it 5in I fully intend to have the BJCM as well as my BJCE as just love them both!

maxybrown · 05/05/2009 10:16

hey mama....how funny, I have jsut emailed you about the avent stuff too! Apologising for my delay! No worries at all honestly! Take your time, whatever is best! lol x

basl · 05/05/2009 10:16

MrsMagooo, I think i have a real problem here. Do you know i have just even considered a second hand double city mini for hols as we will prob be walking alot as we are based on the beach front and parents only staying 30min away so plan to walk and visit them in their hotel. Can you believe that has even entered my head. My 3year old is so petite and i think she would love the ride but double buggy on flight???? She would like a little snooze when we are out for meal at night. I totally agree with what you say about which one to take on hols. I have two mothercare strollers jive. The pink and the camo and i think i am going to sell the lot and any other bits and pieces. Just gave away a whole bebecar travel sytem for nothing to someone and now thinking i could have made a bit on that. thanks again

maxybrown · 05/05/2009 10:17

what maclaren have you got 5in??

mamadiva · 05/05/2009 10:20

You can getthe double BJCM and buy the travel bag for it Basl! I'd go for it if you can!

maxybrown · 05/05/2009 10:20

Yes sorry away in a daydream LOL.

No probs about avent stuff pinky still has no baby... yet... couple of days to go though so scary

basl · 05/05/2009 10:26

Do you think i could sell it on after the hols as my little girl would not need it at home ?

mamadiva · 05/05/2009 10:31

Why don't you buy the double for hlidays and then when you get back sell it to fund a single? with plenty left over

mamadiva · 05/05/2009 10:31

It will sell no probs!

MrsMagooo · 05/05/2009 10:34

Basl the double BJCM is brilliant, just as good as all the other members of the BJCM! It would sell on afterwards no problem at all, BJ's sell very well.

Balamorybaby · 05/05/2009 10:49

Hi ladies, do you mind if I gatecrash?
Didn't know there were so many other pramaholics around, I feel so much better about my own addiction now

I've owned sooo many single pushchairs over the last 2 years for my DS2 and have recently had boy/girl twins, DS3 and DD3 (yes, 6 kids in total!) so am now starting to build a collection of doubles

ATM, I've got an Icandy pear and an ABC twin everest with the toddler seat for DS2. I'm seriously hankering after a MB (got loads on my ebay watch list) and now I'm being tempted by all this talk of BJCM's.

Luckily my DH was ok with my single pram addiction (he just laughed about it) but the doubles take up so much more room, I don't know how he'll cope this time, lol.

Looking forward to getting to "know" you all

hurries off to google double BJCM prices

Disenchanted3 · 05/05/2009 10:54

BALAMORY THIS IS MY MOUNTAIN BUGGY ON EBAY :)

Balamorybaby · 05/05/2009 11:06

Thanks for the link that looks FAB.

I'm hoping to get one with the adjustable handle though and DH has a very strict rule on NO RED pushchairs, he just hates red for some reason
I love the Phil and Teds Classic Twin (side by side) pushchair but its only available in red so I can't have it

Disenchanted3 · 05/05/2009 11:12

GRRRRRRRRRR

Single MB has been collected and seller just emailed me to say she thinks one of the wheels has a puncture

FFS, so i will have a frame, with 2 working wheels and no bloody covers

mamadiva · 05/05/2009 11:56

Balamory the twin nipper 360 is fantastic and it comes in a few different colours

5inthebed · 05/05/2009 12:11

Maxy. I.ve got black on black techno xt. Also got the matching footmuff, lovely suede inside.Only got it last month.

Disenchanted3 · 05/05/2009 12:40

Yey, verve collected, XT single collected

MB collected at sellers end,

just waiting for them to collect double XT now.

Once MB doubles sold ill have room in my house again,

think bees sold (is it LL??)

So will only have single MB & board

Balamorybaby · 05/05/2009 12:44

Thanks mamadiva, will check it out

Found a Brand New BJC Elite Double for £350 which seems fairly good considering some of the prices I found online.

Will take a look at the nipper now

Just as well I can bfeed DT's and surf at the same time
