Pushchair Shed MAY thread no1

[DivamakesKimchi]

BOOOO,
None started new thread, so there you go

Do you think a brolly would work just as well?

ponders one on eBay

shhh you got your nuna then! good for you, glad you are liking it.

morning all! X

The Nuna is a funky looking pram isn't it! The seat looks a bit low though?

Morning.
Nuna does look funky!

bexie....for the sleepover?? That is a right royal rip off if it's just for the sleepover! Which one is she after? They come up all the time on ebay.

in fact there are LOADS on there for a tenner

What does anyone think is the best solution for sunshading?
Parasols fall over.
All over net things are bulky, expensive and my DD hated not being able to see out properly.

I am hoping that now she is nearly 3 I can just slather her in suncream and put the hood up. It is meant to be a very hot summer though isn't it.
I always thought a suncover like a Maclaren raincover would be good. Then it would be small and much neater on.
Or a sail type thing that extended out front of a pushchair.

a big hood i think I HATE any attachments, DS just attacks them now, get in his way!

i only really bothered with sunshades up to about a year, maybe im a slack mummy but after that its just plenty of suncream and hats. if its blistering hot then tbh i try not to take them out in it anyway or stay in shade.

Oh Nicola you are such a slack mother!

Not!

Yes I do think the time for sunshades has past. It would be nice if there was a perfect solution though.

Thanks maxy, will let her know. She was thinking of white frilly ones and will be glad to know that you can get boyish ones.

Tom doesn't do hats. Parasols are crapola. Tom hates the sun on his face though. Maybe I need to bring out the hat and sunglasses when hes mid whinge, lol.

What couriers are you all using and do any do time slots?

Think it was senditnow that Nicola said used parcelforce who could give time slots?

Anyway I use parcel2go who don't.
Hope thats helpful.

bexie glad I was of service....I have resorted to being ready with a hat when he whinges because of the sun in his face.....works sometimes when he realises it helps!!! Oh and with senditnow, you can narrow the time down a lot!

hi, i started a new thread but hoping someone on here can help! does anyone know of its possible to get the raincover on the petite star zia 4 whilst using the cocoon with it?just can't seem to do it.thanks!

I've never used a parasol or any sun thingmajig on any of my prams. I prefer the old hat/hood/suncream. Although ToysRus have a gorgeous parasol in. Black on top but underneath is like a jungle and has creatures hanging from it. Might have to buy one just to occupy ds3.

BJCM is fab in the sun, the hood comes down really well. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my BJCM?

LOL 5in glad to see you're still loving it

Bexie, I used senditnow the other day, they use parcelforce. Courier came at 3.30pm & the parcel was at buyer's address at 10am the next day. Cost £13.99.

I always used a protect a bub with DS1.
Infact I must dig it out as the Cam sunshade is not cutting it with DS2, sun still shines through and he hates the sun in his eyes.

Help I just won a black Zapp for £72 from babyvalue-yay. BUT on my ad for one babyalfie just offered me one in BREEN!!!! Now I Have no funds in paypal.
Should I just ask babyalfie to wait and see if I can sell the black or should I ask babyvalue if I can pull out.

Why does this happen?

dunoon email me please!! [email protected]!! thanks xx

PUREE,GO FOR IT! I also saw that one on ebay..there is not to many around atm on 2nd hand market as to new but thats a good bargin.

I never tend to accessorise my prams but have this time . Just had delivered this week the parasol, all weather pack and foot muff...

My only issschoo is the fact that nothing comes with the pram iykwim..not even a rainhood. Hence me buying it this week.

The seat is low BUT not unusually low..I had the dazzle a while back and imo its not a patch on it. Looks funky,the handlebar is adjustable and its so lovely to push. Means I can hold dd's hand and push the buggy.

Also I used to have a zapp and tbh I always thought dd looked to big for it (but she wasn't) but this is a nice sized seat.

Go for it..

aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh, just got home and found card waiting for me on the floor, DH missed it, saying parcel next door........hat to "sneak" round and get my new Mac XLR in marsh and brown (ooohhh!) now it is sat under the stairs in its box. Sniff.
