| Roads passable here once out the estates so drove the 20 or so miles to tetbury today to get the buggy. Ive not had much of a chance for a proper play yet as spent morning with mum and only just home and trying to get feeling back in feet but it seems..........bloody marvellous It actually folds up no bigger than my mamas and papas sport and fold smaller than that damned mothercare xpletive...i mean xcursion so once its in my boot i have room for shopping at the side. It has two bits that fold, the wheels go under the main body then the seats fold down forward so it folds into a neat little rectangle. Not the lightest but again its lighter than the xpletive and about the same as the 03 sport so i can get it in and out of the boot on my own. It wont go in my house unfolded but thats not really a prob as its got the simplest fold in the world, unclip the safety clips and kick the wheels under and it just collapses and to unfold it pull the wheels out with top of foot and unfold seats, apply clips and you are good to go. Going to probably play tonight when OH comes in to see what the recline and the harnesses/sun cover/rain cover etc look like but looks like my £10 bargain actually wasnt too good to be true, just the truest steal ive ever gotten in my life. Its in what seems like v good condition, slight wear on the handlebar foam on one corner and the wheels have metal spokes that are a little pitted/weather worn but wud prob clean up dead easy and thats all just cosmetic anyway So damned chuffed, lets just hope my 2 sell on ebay now im itching to get a 2nd buggy snuggle (ive got one snuggle on c's stroller and one spare so im after a 3rd snuggle and a 2nd sheepskin to make both the valcos seats all cosy for them both) - the one on c's stroller is rainbow and the spare one going on the valco is red with black skull/crossbones so im watching a couple of funky ones, theres a stars and stripes one a couple of miles from me but if the buggies go for the buy it nows ive put on i might treat Awen to a matching skull one like C's lol!!! |

| Well ive had a good play, its very simple to fold and unfold just pull the wheels in or out and fold or unfold the seats and do or undo the clips. Dead simple The recline is also easy you just unzip the sides of the seat and it lies flat, half recline dor upright and the seats recline independently. Its got a nice roomy shopping basket too. Brakes seem simple too just a foot lever and work well. The wheels can be removed, the back wheels just undo a clip and a pin and the front wheels have a lever and then unscrew so that seems easy if needed. The harnesses are padded and seem comfy and theres loads of life in the tires they just need pumping up. The wear is very minimal just slight wear on handlebar foam and pitting on spokes. Needs alittle clean up but even thats fairly minimal. It does come with a zip on insect net which is a little worn but tbh i cant see C letting me attatch it. However the only prob i can find is i cant find the raincover which i thought was included so ive emailed them about that. Othewise i guess id have to get a universal one. Still not the end of the world though if thats the case. Now to get my others sold and get that 2nd sheepskin and buggysnuggle for other side. Ive decided to treat myself to a matching skull and crossbones one pmsl Now to |
