Gidget, where did you see the quinny, i haven't checked the price at B2B. Just been to ocean terminal.

MamaS, In Ocean Terminal, they sell it at 0/3 baby collection.
Every time I pop in they seem to have some special or other on it, depending on colour, and so far I have found that it is cheapest there.

B2B and Mothercare and Wing On also sell them although not every store has a display model.

Enjoy your trip home to the UK Sunrays.

Hi Sunrays or Matty,

What model is that Gracco that you bought/recommend? so i can window shop again this weekend.

Hi Gidget,

I am now convinced that i don't like Quinny, yes, it's lightweight and fold small, but the baby can't recline, most of the moms i've spoke to said this feature is impt. Not to mention that there is no basket. Confusing :burnout:

 

[mamaS]

Oh, just read it - Graco EDT. :bump:

Hi Little-bub,

I'm not going to the next meet up, can i have the address please so i can check it out, or we can go together if you're buying something too. You can email me. thanks.

Hi Matty,

I sent you a PM.

Hi mammaS,

Sorry have been busy over the past few days, I've had guests in town and I have a million and one things to do before I leave for the UK in 2 weeks!!

The shop that sells the card/paper and envelopes is on Gage Street, just of Aberdeen Street as you're coming down from the Mid-Levels.

I'm not sure if you speak Cantonese as it's useful when discussing the different options....

If you need my help, just let me know.

Cheers
Little-Bub

Thanks little-bub,

I'll go there to check it out. Is it just one paper shop on that street? name? right of left side?

How about the sticker that i can write my name and tel, where did you have it printed? the one at the back of your card. thanks for your help. :bighug

Hi Gidget,

I know, why is there no 'perfect' pram!!!
I have bought it anyway!!! It came the closest to what I need. If I really hate it, at least I will have a good 'travel pram', I love the fact that I can actually take it on a plane with me, not just leave it at the gate.

The non reclining seat IS a big draw back, I will be using it with the Maxi Cosi on the frame until the baby can support it's own head. That comes with a sun shade / raincover etc, so will be like a 'carry cot' function, and will actually be pretty convenient that way for cab rides. Hopefully I will be using my sling for most other outings. {crossing fingers!!}

For the storage, there is a company on e bay I have found that do a bag designed to attach under it, so got that bit sorted.

It is not especially easy to fold either {although the shop assistant made it look easy!}, so I need to get a teddy so I can practice some more at home.
I promise not to complain to everyone if it drives me nuts as ! was forewarned. :biggrin:

 

[mamaS]

That's great Gidget, i haven't bought any yet, still looking around. How much did you buy the set? I have a voucher for $2,500 for both, so i'm still considering it that i'm getting a big discount on quinny.

 

[gidget]

Hi Mama S. Great voucher!!!
I got it at 0/3 baby collection at Ocean Centre.
I wanted the black colour, which luckily was the only colour on sale, for $1490.
The Maxi Cosi was $1599.
