Stardust- it's the Bebecar Vector

Stardust have you looked at any doubles yet I'm thoroughly depressed at the size of the 2nd hand one we got

 

[stardust599]

km I just looked, you are right, it looks awesome and you would never get it at that price on eBay! Quite right to go for it, I would!

molly, we have looked at loads. I would LOVE the Baby Jogger City Select but just can't afford it even second hand It looks amazing. Same with the iCandy Peach but it's out of my league. So I think we are getting a 2nd hand iCandy Pear if I can find one around the £300 mark. But my cousin has an Out N About Nipper 360 I'm begging her to sell me cos her eldest has just turned 3 and they mostly use a single now. She has a Jane Powertwin tandem 3 wheeler which my sister is buying her, it's a great double too and not too expensive xx

Hi all!! I've been looking at doubles too, seen a couple I really like! Ours has to be zn off roader with walking the dogs every day.

Got our downs results back yesterday, nice and low again, 1 in 100000 chance same as Erin so really pleased about that! Going to go public on Facebook tonight I think! Told my two bosses at workand they were cool, not that couldn't be but it's nice to have told them!

 

[Broodypants]

Just had a look and it's the Out and About I like too Stardust! Has your cousin been pleased with it?

 

[molly85]

i worry about the width on the side by side, weight etc as I am worried after this on my mobility will be severally hampered

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Molly I've pushed both side by side and one in front of the other and side by side is definitely easier. It's so hard to get up curbs when it's a tandem!! And feels much heavier to push

 

[molly85]

I think i'm going to be a tight wad and wait for baby to arrive. if it's a girl we don't really need much if it's a boy clothes are about it and i sure as heck won't get as much as with abby

 

[molly85]

we have our cheapy job for the moment and that will cover most bases until we know what we need

 

[Mosnippy]

wow i feel sooooooooo brain dead with prams, i havent a clue what i want or need haha and i really dont want to spend a fortune either! i am shocked that some prams are the same price as a car!!

i guess will have to start looking ito it haha

awww broody pants that is great! i went public last friday after scan and it was a great response i posted picture of scan saying, so it turns out it wasnt gas! haha

 

[molly85]

Mosnippy my dad spent a fortune on ours and a really basic buggy with car seat would have done. THey don't really like rear facing when the can sit so a cheap travel system would do the job they face you until you get sick of lugging the carseat about by which point they want to look around and if your pushing your not looking at them anyway

 

[stardust599]

Aww molly, I totally disagree I LOVED having my LO rear facing and chatting to her, singing to her, playing silly games etc. on long walks. I changed to a 3 wheel forward facing one when she was about 10 months and have hated it ever since. That why I want the iCandy doubles cos I can have them both facing me! It's my only worry about the Out N About Nipper, you can't see baby from newborn but my cousin says otherwise it's fantastic, so light, small to fold, never found a doorway or shop it doesn't go through and so easy to steer too.

I do agree about not spending ridiculous money though, go for something second hand unless you have money to burn LOL. We spent £600 on our Oyster when it was first released and although it was fab it looked exactly like the slightly scratched etc. second hand ones you can buy for £200 and we could have gone on a holiday with the difference!

We have a limit of £300 for our double, £400 at a push! And it will have to be found soon as need to pay it up over the next 5/6 months or so xx

 

[molly85]

Abbys really independent she hates being in a pushchair or car seat i tried telling her she needs to learn to walk and she can get out. We have the oyster as we're not big walkers we could have saved£100 on the carrycot as it doesnt really fit in the car

 

[Koolmami]

Please add me to the list - 18th July! Had my scan last week, the most amazing thing i've ever seen. My husband actually welled up which is something he has hardly done in the 10 years i've known him! Such a special moment, feeling very lucky at the minute.
Hope you are all feeling well x

Same due date as me! Yay!

My LO probably would prefer to forward face but I'm so obseseed if i had my own way I'd still have her facing me if I could She never liked the seat on the Oyser though as it's too open and she always like to be in her cosy cocoon, I kept her in the carrycot until 7 months (she even slept in it at night until then) and then swapped it for a Loola until we got our 3 wheeler for walking the dog! xx

 

[misse04]

I've given up all hope on double prams! After lusting after the bugaboo donkey reality hit and I realised 1. I cant afford it (even 2nd hand) 2. It wont fit in my car (whats the point)! So as much as I dont really like it I think I'm just going to get a double stroller. Or when I win the lottery I will get a nice Range Rover to fit my big pram in

 

[molly85]

I had to switch her at 5 months as she was sitting and trying to dangle out of it nosey child lol I know what the instructions say and she was tiny for 5 months but happy baby = happy mummy

 

[molly85]

you'll never load it into a rangerover boot lol

Mines ways a ton we may have to buy a lighter one pureley as i wil.l be practically disabled

 

[misse04]

If I've won the lottery I'll get someone to do it for me

Hi everyone,

Do you mind if I join again . I was here at the beginning but I was just constantly panicking and convinced myself that something bad had happened. So I've just been keeping quiet and religiously stalking the thread instead. Rude I know, I'm sorry!

But no, everything is fine . Had to go for private nuchal scan because I couldn't get an appointment early enough for one on the NHS. It went amazing though, bubs measures a full 7 days ahead, which is totally wrong unless clearblue fertility monitor, ovulation tests, AND temping was incorrect. So, so much for me being a nervous wreck since the second I found out, looks like I've been growing a little porker!

Went for my first appointment with the midwife today anyway, she couldn't get blood out of either arm so that wasn't a pleasant experience! Got to go to the phlebotomist now to see if they can do any better!
I've felt awful keeping quiet these past few weeks, felt like some nosey neighbour with my ear pressed up against the garden fence! So glad I can join you again !

Here's my scan pic. Any gender guesses are more than welcome I've booked a gender scan for 11th February and I can't wait, it'll be like Christmas only better Sorry for the essay I got a little carried away!
