    Evening all, just a quick query regarding babies head position... does anyone else have problems with this? T always faces to the right no matter how many times I turn his head, he does this for sleeping/ feeding/ cuddles/ etc. I have tried blankets rolled up against his side to keep his head the other way but he still manages to get back. His head isn't flat at the moment but what I am worried about is tonight I could see his neck muscle on the one side really sticks out.. but on the other side you cant even see it, is this from him having his head constantly facing right? I am seeing my HV tomorrow so hopefully can ask her but has anyone else had this?

    evening all

    sorry if i've missed owt, tried catching up this morning and this evening but i lose track so quickly....

    I'll hold out like GISI said to let you all know who you'll be buying for in Secret Santa..... Just so you all know though, you're not 'paired', so its more like traditional secret santa,just because you're buying for X, doesnt mean X is buying for you MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Picked up quinny today and as much as I love having a quinny and it was a good deal, i'm a bit peeved that they had it listed as immaculate, which to me means pristine, almost like new..... they neglected to mention that the handle has black electrical tape round it (admiteddly well done but still), the quinny logos are rubbing off the side (i know it happens to that) and that it came from a home with pets, and had scratches and marks on it.....

    CAFC - I would email them about that and definitely mention it when you leave feedback. Krystal had the same problem earlier this week - they're obviously taking the p*ss to get a good sale

  • I would email them and ask them for some money back to cover new stickers CAFC :)

    (Gill's right, I did have a similar problem but the pushchair was listed as excellent and it's pretty much as far from excellent as it could be... I'm getting a full refund on Thursday apparently...)

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    aww no Cafc thats carp about the Quinny, thats what puts me off with Ebay, one persons 'immaculate' is another persons 'trash'. I got negative feedback on ebay for listing some size 11 flipflops (OH was bought and never liked) and the person left me bad feedback as they didn't fit their feet... LOL. How is that my fault?! They were brand new with tags and the exact size they stated!

    My friend's little boy had this and he had a couple of sessions of physio which loosened up the neck muscles and really helped. I can't remember how old he was at the time, but probably 3-4 months old.

    I'd be peed of about the Quinny, CAFC. Like you say, immaculate means like new. I would describe what you've said as good used condition.
