Pushchair thread July Part two - Have we all gone BJCM mad

[5inthebed]

I know I love mine

Libra, your profile isn't there?

unfortunately not very close no, otherwise I would have got it for you. But 2 old volkswagons, means our petrol would prob end up being more than a courier anyway!! Email them now and ask if you arrange courier?

it's 19 miles from me it says

or this

but over 21 days old so maybe gone

i don't know if i'd do that outside of ebay i think im a bit over cautious. never been so keen on the triumph but thought it may be bit better than volo?

Done todays chores! Just leaves work tonight, lol. Then i'm off for almost 3 weeks .

LOL @ bicola! That dress is gorgeous!

Glad to see they do big girls sizes

Got Tom 2 new toothbrushes today, pack of 2 for 97p from Bodycare, love that shop!

I think all the bloomin maclarens look the same apart from XT/XLR lol!!

I have bought from preloved lots of times, and sold on there too.

People have paid me with Pp and bank transfers no problem. If it was closer would not be a problem getting it for you, sorry

Saw a double BJCM today as well, looked alright.

oh no worries maxy i wouldn't expect anyone to pick up unless they were literaly in the same town. i do like the look of it i may email?

well differences are...

volo, no recline,
triumph, slight recline by strap method on back of seat.
quest same recline method as xt/xlr has legrest pocket on back of hood
xt bigger seat, bigger wheels, tilting hood
xlr even bigger seat

ah right!! Email them, go on!!

i might save up for a new one!!

lol.... I can't say anything, I understand completely

yep i only need another £20/30 in paypal so need to get selling!!

Dis this any use for your sis?

Well I've been reading how lovely you all are to your buggies and was thinking how I've fallen out of love with mine as they had got all used looking! So I've just finally put the replacement chassis Bugaboo sent me on the Cameleon and fitted the replacement white buttons so that the seat actually moves position again!
Woo hoo cleaned the whole thing and obviously with a whole new chassis it's makes it look like a new buggy again... makes me all nostalgic for when I got it home from the shop and DS was about to be born!

Felt guily about the poor XLR so gave that a full on scrubbing and it actually looks nice again, put the seat cover in the wash for the 1st time ever since I bought it last June

I think that's the problem when you buy new buggies they're all perfect and they can never stay perfect if you actually use them so as soon as they get dirty or a scratch they never feel as nice to me. Now the Bugaboo actually looks brand new I'll have to try and keep it looking like that...

PS, can you get new handles for a Maclaren XLR? Mine are looking pretty scuffed now after flights back and forth from Germany when we were there and being shoved by the not so careful DH into the car etc! Might do something about it now I'm in the buggy loving mood

i wash my mac covers every week!! at least.

im sure i have ocd!

OMG I feel bad! I think I have this obsession with bobbling, I can't bear to actually out my Bugaboo covers in the wash in case they bobble I sponge wash them both every week but they've never been in the machine Oh the shame of it!

Do you have an XLR too? I wonder if there are any other seat covers (they are the covers you mean right?) the brown/blue combo is seriously dull.

i hated my xlr it was too big for a stroller. i had the tan/crimson covers too put preferred the brown.

i have a quest now.

Yeah tis massive, I bought it for a flight back to the UK when we were in Germany as you really can't take cameleon's on flights! The DS was just under 6 months and being the pathetic, paranoid FTM I bought the XLR as it is from birth, had totally flat recline and seemed as much like a 'proper' rather than umbrella fold buggy as I could find.

i love my xlr, anything else always seems small and flimsy, but then I'm not a big fan of strollers so got biggest one I could

Hahaha I know what you mean it hardly feels like a stroller at all! That's why I've been looking at the Zapp

DH says who on earth starts off with a Cameleon, then gets a XLR and then a Zapp he says I'm working down the buggy food chain! He thinks I'll be after one of those £20 ones from Mothercare next that actually look just like the DS's toy one

had my dress fitting, its soooooo gorgeous, hanging upstairs can't wait to wear it!

meanwhile dp having meeting at work will find out if he is keeping his job or not!

ooh Nicola lovely! Are you very excited?

Bummer about DP job
