    Hi Everyone. :wave:

    Weezl Do you mean something like this? It also comes in blue. :D

    We've got one on the little buggy - its not very thick, just a layer of fleece and a layer of jersey.

    It fastens with velcro at the side bars at the top, and under the feet at the bottom.

    Maz I saw your fb photos - he's gorgeous!



    Talking of buggys - does anyone have a Quinny Zapp? I was pushing one around Toys R Us today and it was nice to push.

    I'm thinking of getting rid of the Silver Cross when she's too big for the car seat - and selling it all together. Then, getting something lighter and smaller.

    *sleepy*

    Forgot if I updated you on the horrible situation - we're going, but at the first sign of canine trouble we're leaving. If the dog is sent to kennels we'll go back; if he isn't I'll be there long enough to pack up what we're taking with us and the rest for shipping after us and we'll spend Christmas in a hotel or with friends. We won't place a ban on them seeing Molly, per se, but we won't be at their house while the dog is there. Or any other dog, since they can't be trusted to raise one so it knows its place in the pack.

    sounds like a plan ss .. a child always comes before a dog ... a dogs place is to look after and protect the house and family but also knows its place x

    Which Silvercross do you have? I had the Classic Sleepover, and the Zapp - complete opposites!

    The Zapp did its job until I got the Stokke, but really wasn't that great. Had I done anything more than the odd quick trip out, I would have got a different one sooner.

    It seemed very bumpy, and it doesn't recline. LO fills it quite well now, at 22lbs, so I don't know how long it'd last. It seems very low to the ground.

    I'd say it was 'adequate' but I wonder if a decent traditional umbrella one would be better, if you don't need the carseat function.

    hi all,

    does anyone remember me?? :D

    thought i best find my way back here as i've been back for a week.

    hope everyone is well.

    we had an amazing time and little one was spoilt beyond all belief. she was so good on the flights and meeting numerous family members and friends that were paraded in front of her.

    i already wish i was heading back (we are looking at going back april/may next year).

    to bring things back to reality, we are battling with feeding at the minute. although she has been poorly, my fight to get her to eat solids continues. she will hardly take anything from a spoon as she prefers to feed herself, but when she does feed herself, it's just bread (in any form). her weight is going to keep increasing at a rate as she is having a lot of milk, therefore not slowing down like it should when weaning and becoming mobile.

    so what did i miss x
