As a childminder ur always after certain strollers and dont want to pay to much but want quality too

Well since been looking for a stroller myself and been on a budget, its been hard.

Well hubby is a carpenter and loves taking things apart and putting them back today

We have came ui[p with a little business,,,

buyin pushchairs and re conditioning them and selling them on at very low price...

Im very particular when its comes to quality (mom says im to fussy) so everything sold will be at the best standard for second hand and i would be proud and happy to walk down the street with a stroller we d be selling

So if ur looking for a certain one, and have a bugdet let us know.... and ill see what we can do..

Its great for all us childminders out there looking for good quality deals and i get to do what i love buy pushchairs, test them out to.

What sort of reconditioning would you be doing on them?

Don't want to rain on your parade because in theory it's a great idea, but in practice I'm not sure it would work...things have to be tested to a industry standard, ec regulations etc...also there is liability to consider what if one of your modified pushchairs broke & an injury occured you could be sued! Also as childminders we have to be highly aware of the safety of products ie tested to ec/british safety standards or we could be sued also, so you can't really market to childminders....I know we all buy second hand, but if you are not approved by the manufacturer to recondition, you will invalidate the outstanding safety tests done on the product IYSWIM? Sorry, as I said in theory it's a wonderful idea....

it wouldnt be to much just more of cleaning them up, adding rain covers if not with them...

we wouldnt be taking them to pieces and putting them back. Just general work what we all would do to sell a buggy
