For £75!!!!! With both seats, all over raincover and all over shade cover!!

And in the green that I LOVE!!

A lady put it on our local ***** For Sale board yesterday. And only wanted £40!!!

I text her but of course someone had got in first. She said that if this lady came Saturday and didnt want it, it was mine.

Anyway, I had been thinking about it and the fact that I was willing to bid up to £150 on Ebay for one (and had and missed out!

).

So I text her this morning and offered £75! And she just called back and said thats fine! I feel a bit mean on the other lady and did explain to the lady selling it that I was desperate for one. She had spoken to the other lady and she couldnt offer more. I said that i didnt really want to outbid the other lady, as it were, but I was prepared to pay the £75 and thought the seller would appreciate a few more pennies.

I pick it up tomorrow!!!

Well done you! sometimes it pays to be a bit ruthless

Ihave to admit though it wouldn't be my first choice of pram, i always feel a bit sorry for the LO at the back as all they see is the back of the seat in front!

I think this too, but it will only be for short spells of time. I drive almost everywhere and just use the pushchair to get around shops, in and out of school and soft play etc.

But I want this one as it is a double and single in one - and at the moment I am carrying an Obaby Single and a Maclaren Twin Techno in my car almost every day . And the Twin Techno doesnt fit in the boot of my Galaxy unless I have one seat down. But I need ALL the seats up.

Just have to run it past hubby but am going for the angle that its cheaper than buying a new car to accomodate the Twin Techno!!!

wow, that's great, I want one! And Hebs, don't be greedy - you already have one

**carebear25** · 28-08-2009, 01:49 PM

**jeanybeany** · 28-08-2009, 06:11 PM

I've got a red one and they are fab, my mindees love being in the back as I hang toys for them to play with........all my parents think it's great and always comment on how comfy it looks. You won't be disappointed with it.

Good idea!!! Will sort some out - have some toy ties and link things.

**uf353432** · 29-08-2009, 07:16 AM

Helen there are 2 clips which keep the front seat up - they make great places to dangle toys for the rear passenger on.

Glad you finally got your bargain - I only paid £50 for mine - and it was worth more.

**ruby** · 29-08-2009, 07:22 AM

When they are in the car there is only a seat in front of them too, they just look out the side.

**helenlc** · 29-08-2009, 08:35 AM

Well, I just confessed to my hubby about getting it. He rolled his eyes and just said he "gives up" now with my pushchair buying!!!

And I am going to pick it up in a minute.

Might not be on later as I might be playing!! Might do a Hebs and get my 11 and 9 yr old to try it out!!!

Just need my 9 yr old daughter to get back from football training!! My 15 mth old mindee is dinky too so I would imagine she is going to look lost even in the back seat.

I have got it and its lovely - so roomy and yet fits in my boot and the lid shuts without having to take any wheels off!! And the second seat pops off so easily! I thought I might end up getting annoyed with having to put it on and off but its just as easy as putting up my Twin Techno.

Have had a little play already with the seats in the different positions.

Its so light and easy to push. I liked my Urban Detour single one as it was light and easy tp push but it didnt fit in my boot with all the seats up. MY Phil & Teds does!!

Roll on Tuesday now so I can use it properly with the mindees!!!

**MissTinkerbell** · 29-08-2009, 09:04 PM

I Luurve mine and wouldn't be without it - 3 years now!! The back seat sticks a little now with constant use but DH oiled it last week and its back to normal.

Its now being used as a single as my twins now walk but we take the 2nd seat along just in case they need a rest. I'm gradually getting used to using it as a single after 3 years of using it as a double!
