MSE Pregnancy Club VII

Tinkerbell - we have the iCandy - not the cherry tho Granted Roo hasn't arrived yet but we've had several plays with it and we're so far very chuffed DH had it down last night to show to equally gadget freaky neighbour and was moaning because he couldn't get the maxi cosi car seat to fit in - growling that it was FAR to stiff even for being all new etc...
Wasn't until I pointed out he had the things it fits into the wrong way round and wouldn't you know it... it clicked straight in... he'd been manhandling it trying to force it in! ARGH!
Obviously it might all change when we actually have to use it with Roo but so far we love it

Mines a Silvercross - the same pram bit as the 3d, but on the classic chassis (I had a thing about big wheels!)....

sorry hun but you haven't got the same pram bit as the 3D you're thinking of he Freeway :D
The 3D is smaller - one of the reasons I don't like it its Chris is tall and outgrew all things silver cross way too quickly!
We had to stop using the carseat at about 5 or 6 months, lie flat bit 4mths and forward facing bit 9mths - Really p'ed me off that my mum spent about £300 on the whole thing and I only got 9mths use out of it!!

Its a lovely comfy, cosy pram, and Violet is asleep as soon as she's in it and it starts moving.
But, at 10lb 8oz, she's quickly filling it - but by times she outgrows the pram bit, it'll be summer so we can turn it into a pushchair. If you had a big winter baby it might be a problem!

The car seat won't fit in mums Saxo or OH's BMW M3 (stupid boy car!), but fits fine, front or back, in my sensilble mum car (Picasso).

I'm glad i bought it - and would probably buy it again. We got it from Kiddicare (bargain), but went to Mothercare first to make sure the car seat fitted in my car.

Poppy was 8lb 11.5oz born and a winter baby and it didn't outgrow the pram but I have heard of people saying that and also the same about the carseat.

Luckily the car seat fitted in all my family's cars (and she went in lots!). I really loved the 3D but haven't used it at all this time. I was planning to but then bought the Phil and Teds which is just wonderful! .

sorry but that mad me LOL :rotfl:
Language is a funny thing!
oh I meant to tell you I asked my sis what she thought of Kai as a name and she said she loved it but should spell it Kaj as she had a danish patient called Kaj and he was lovely

MrsTinks

You can spell it Kai or Kaj Both are perfectly normal My step dad is Kai Ole... Personally I prefer the Kai spelling to the Kaj and probably Kai is less likely to be mispronounced

one of my BFs little ones is called Kai, and no one spells it right !!

She gets so cross about it

ETA - oh and sami I did have brekkie when I got up at 6.45 and also had a biscuit about an hour ago, but that doesnt count as eating, that is just maintaining the right level of calories needed to maintain a growing child !!!!!

ahhh stomach rightly prepped for scrummy buffet :cool:
I don't get how people can spell Kai wrong I would automatically spell it K A I but then there was a birthday card on milkshake the other day for "Kyi"

money_maker_3

Her wee one gets Kai, Kay, Kae, Cai, Cyi, Kyi and I'm sure a few others as well
