Can you believe it
Phoned the police today and explained everything. They are going to call me back tomorrow and then need to pass it on to another Police force as the pushchair is no longer in Cumbria!
Wowzers, what next!

It is without a doubt.... I have photographic evidence of the item in my possession, and a unique part only on my pushchair that is on the one for sale!!!

Should be interesting!!

Have you got the ebay link to hand?

Can I ask what the unique part is?

I think (but I'm not sure) that if you bought it, you'd get the address of the people selling the buggy? So you could then pass it onto the police. Not enitrely sure if it works that way though, although I suppose if the police got in touch with ebay and said they need the details for a criminal investigation they'd pass them over anyway? It cleared up the question of whether it was an accident or not though, the cheek of some people is incredible!

With a small child it is not always possible to lock up your pram. Sometimes they get out to walk for a while then shoot off after something - what is a parent to do leave them to get into danger whilst they lock up their pram lol. My solution was to have a battered but functional pram that no-one would want to steal anyway - much more important to keep my kids safe and having fun than having to worry about constantly guarding a pram.

And i do agree Centreparcs should be doing more if they know they have a problem. Would you expect everyone with a pram to carry a bike lock and a tonne anchor around with them to chain it to when Centreparks could have something attached to the wall to chain it too - that's a case of the tail wagging the dog.




Pushchairs don't usually have wheels with spokes like pushbikes, they are much smaller



not suitable for toddlers and shown to be recalled due to being dangerous..........


do they allow this? I know most places don't due to hygeine - and it could easily get stolen from there too.......

I think apart from maybe one little stroller we had, all the other pushchairs had plastic spoked wheels.

Thanks for the pushchair, it has come in very useful :-)

I remeber the days when people used to leave their babies in prams and pushchairs outside of shops. Now you'd come out of the shop to find your child on the ground and no pram. :eek:

My mate once left her twins outside of the post office for an hour before she realized that she'd forgotten them.

Or you'd find the pram and no child. Then you'd end up on the news every day for the next month.

But why should center parcs be doing something more to secure your property. Like in a car park there are signs to say that they are left at your own risk.....and yes I have seen plenty of people with bike locks that they use for their buggies at CP. Thats like saying if you leave your purse on a chair in the pool and it gets stolen then CP should be doing more to stop it. Your property is your repsonsibility *shrugs*

....and to the OP very interesting development. Jus out of nosiness, what is the unique feature of your buggy?
