Hi MFD How's the holiday?
There is an Xplory in green, with all the bits, sitting on ebay at £100, 3 days to go, collection only, just round the corner from me. I told OH it was fate but he just shook his head at me.
Buy it, buy it, buy it and then bribe him with sexual favours
Is CP fabulous, MFD?
I also use the carseat on the pushchair sometimes. I find it useful when just popping into a shop or baby clinic since H is now too heavy to carry even the shortest of distances in his carseat.:DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator

I loved our travel system and used the car seat and buggy combo quite a lot

When S was first born we lived in a first floor flat, and I felt safer carrying him up and down the stairs while already strapped into the car seat. And when we moved into our house we lost the luxury of driveway parking and sometimes have to park a 5-10 minute walk away from home, and it made sense to get him in the car seat ready. We also have only a 3 door car, now he is older and has a forward facing fixed seat its a real struggle to get him in sometimes and I do miss the ease of aiming the seat in the back! I did use it for quick trips round town and to the supermarket as well, but if we were going to be out for longer I always took him out and put him in his buggy.Mummy to

Grr, I did a Tesco online photo order and went to pick it up but they said it wasnt in yet, but checked my account when I got home and it said they were ready for pick up 2 days ago, and OH told me I'm stupid for being annoyed that they arent picking up the phone at this time of night! If it says on their website they man the phones til midnight tonight then I am surely not stupid for trying to ring them now, it is them that are stupid for not picking up? Dunno whats got up his backside tonight. Facking eejitMummy to
