Bexie reminded me it was the first of July!

I am still on the search for a pram that does all I want it to!

Disenchanted3 · 06/07/2009 11:56

Yep, Im gonna pimp it to the max

My aunt sew so Im getting her to line the inside of the hood white navy & white spotty fabric!

The Mac XT came today. Only had a quick look as it started to rain. Wheels are good, bit rusty, reflective edges are a bit scuffed, sticky handles.... BUT, I thought it would recline more and thought the legrest raised up/down? Anyway, will ask my friend who has an XLR on wednesday when she pops round to have a look at it for me.

For £15 it's a bargain. Covers need washing, but I think I like it. IF the seat is supposed to recline more and the legrest is supposed to be adjustable, then I won't keep it. I'll look out for another one. Have until Easter anyway, lol.

nicolamumof3 · 06/07/2009 12:10

yep adjustable legrest and seat goes almost flat bex?

im back from docs got sinisitus (sp) feeling absolutely awful. will get luka lunched and in bed and on the sofa for me and tate.

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2009 12:22

P&T doubles seat in second hand shop for £15 but can't find out how much it might sell for.
New in box. Any ideas if I should go back and see if it's still there?

BexieID · 06/07/2009 12:25

The legrest must deffo be gubbed then as is just floppy, iykwim. I'm sure the seat could go back more as the bits you pull to make it go back don't touch the frame.

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2009 12:27

Bexie you have to pull out metal bits to support the legrest. They can be sticky and may need oiling.
For back it should go almost flat. Side bars lift and seat should go back.

Disenchanted3 · 06/07/2009 12:27

i need to go out but no BJCM, i thought kiddicare delivered before 12?

nicolamumof3 · 06/07/2009 12:28

bexie should be little metal bits you pull out to extend legrest. not quite sure what you mean about the adjusters at side to do legrest but not quite with it today.

yes go back and get it dunoon!!!! what colour was it?

should make at least double on it even after fees?

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2009 12:29

grey.Eeeek

nicolamumof3 · 06/07/2009 12:29

yeah i thought they did too dis? did you get text off them to say was coming? notice all black and black/red/cream all sold out now!! but offer is on til end of july so does that mean they will get more stock before then?

i just transferred my paypal funds for wedding stuff. im such a good girl!!

nicolamumof3 · 06/07/2009 12:30

ring charity shop ask them to hold it for you? you could pay for it over phone?

BexieID · 06/07/2009 12:31

Rest up Nicola.

Anyone want the XT? The legrest won't go up/down, has a wonky hood, the seat won't go right back, handles are sticky, has scuffs on reflective bits, has no raincover and needs a jolly good clean! The wheels and frame are fine.

nicolamumof3 · 06/07/2009 12:33

handles try lots of fairy liquid have heard that works all fabrics will go in machine bexie, even hood worth a try!

BexieID · 06/07/2009 12:34

I noticed bits to pull for legrest, they may need oiling. Will have another look at it. Or wait till wednesday and get my friend to.

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2009 12:35

Have decided against going to get it. I need to save cash now.

BexieID · 06/07/2009 12:36

Will have to wait for a nice day to wash the covers.

Now i've had a little play with an XT I fancy a black one, lol.

FlyMeToDunoon · 06/07/2009 12:39

You could phone them Nicola and ask to keep. It's the mind shop on high street.
When you feel up to it you could collect.
