    Ahh thanks Tia i will tell her. She's going on hol til 8th though so won't be able to sort anything.

    I'm soooooooo confused. I will hate myself if i pay over the odds for one... There's a red one on that doesn't come with anything, for £115 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=200477993753

    The one i'm on about paying £185 for comes with footmuff, raincover, changing bag and insect net.... I'm so confuuuuuuuuused.

    And then there's this one that's got pap pics and only a raincover so might go for less than usual?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/mamas-and-papas-joolz-pram-/120576092909?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Baby_BabyTravel_Pushchairs_GL&hash=item1c12e52aed

    Do you actually want the changing bag and insect net though?

    I think the green one looks good, but it says collection only and I wonder whether someone who writes their listings in text speak could manage to arrange a courier.

    Beenie it is worth keeping an eye on the one with the rubbish pictures maybe - how much do all the extras go for? Can you get them separately cheaper than the extra £70 to get the extra bits (iyswim?). Edited to add - or as GISI says, do you need all the extra bits... do the extra bits you DO need come to less than £70? I don't know how much they go for new even, so no idea what is good money for one?

    Have you tried one out in a shop somewhere, as that might change your mind how much you would want to pay for one too? We did that before we bought the zia - had a test run in mothercare, telling the sales guy that we were looking for one to buy after payday. They are probably used to that - I'm sure lots of people have parents/whoever buying for them, but come to choose what they want first.

    I broke my bag, snapped the plastic bit that holds the strap together when I slammed the door on it. Only good thing about the bag is that it has a little loop each side that hangs off two little nubs in the handle. But there are other changing bags that have those.

    Get the red one, it has the basket. (and I prefere red to green) plus its a good price.

    Hello all,

    hope you've all had a nice bank holiday weekend so far, we've not done much but are going on a walk tomorrow which should be nice.

    Beenie are you getting a joolz now? You hated them last week! :rotfl: I paid £106 for mine which came with the carrycot and seat unit, these were both brand new with all tags still attached but the frame had been used and had a couple of scratches on. Nothing too bad and it hadn't been used much as the tyres were like new. It was from a seller who had lots of M&P loan prams and returns. I'd go for the green one I think.

    Off to catch up a bit :)

    LOL that's a good point GISI and what is it with Stoke on Trent, that's the 3rd Joolz listing from there by different sellers.

    Ladybird the accessories are expensive, there's footmuffs listed at £50 and raincovers for over £30 :eek:.

    I would want the changing bag but not bothered about the net although it's on M&P site atm for £28 :eek:
