sparklymieow · 22/06/2005 15:56

awwwww so thats how it happened??? Wondered what DH meant when he phoned me and said that your DD2 had peed on DD3

misdee · 22/06/2005 15:57

brilliant buggy apart from these probs. invest in a piddle pad lol.

i8 am considering purchyasing the panniers as relying on buggy loads atm, and the basket is a PITA.

thanks - have also been recommend to buy the baby snuggle thingy with the handles on it

will add to list - panniers and piddle pad or one of those umbrella hats

elliott · 22/06/2005 17:06

well BIBBH did always swear by the panniers didn't he?
Personally I don't use the basket for much anyway.

MarsLady · 22/06/2005 17:17

third problem....... they are ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

merglemergle · 22/06/2005 17:17

I recommend phil & ted's although db2 has not yet arrived. It is fantastic. Even ds who hates all pushchairs willingly climbs into it for a ride.

I STRONGLY suggest buying one asap, because then you get lots of use out of it. It is SO much more fun pushing a spiffy 3 wheeler than our cheap Graco, AND you can feel that you are being frugal because you are getting maximum use out of it.

Can I just say that I use my regular bike panniers, not the phil & ted's ones, and they are fine. So if you actually own panniers you might be able to get away without buying more.

I'm with ML on this one!

misdee · 22/06/2005 17:23

lol ML, just cos you love that marco sky contraption .

the cocoon is good for winter babies. atm ours is redundant, and if dd3 is too big i may have to consider selling the coccoon.
