Hi girls! Sorry been AWOL my net connection is shit ESP due to the snow n ice.

J still not shown his head but hoping he gets a move on he is just so heavy now!

Welcome back hun, hope the snow is starting to clear for you! X

Doob the one thing I learnt with our pram is that if you put the main seat bit on and then change the seat setting then try and put the carrycot or car seat on it doesn't go on straight. The chassis bit has to be set in the main front facing upright position with the big seat for the car seat and carrycot to go on straight. Hopefully that makes sense.... Try tilting it with the main seat bit on then try the car seat and you'll see what I mean. It took me hours to work out!!!!

welcome back Russell!

well I thought it had all kicked off last night! woke up at 4am with the most horrible period pains, the ones that feel like you womb is about to fall out!! then I had sharp pains kind of like indigestion at the top of my bump.managed to go back to sleep and by this morning they had eased . really thought it might have started

 

[Doob]

Pram all set up come on baby so I can use it!!! Anybody else that's got the quinny buzz, are you using the seat bit straight away or leaving it until they're a bit older and just alternating between the car seat and the carrycot?

It took a while to get there but finally worked it out and then OH found an attachment we'd missed and spent forever trying to work out what it was (typical man didn't look at the instructions!!) and it ended up being the parasol connector which we don't need right now haha. I'm not sure the dog trusts it though so we're leaving it up for a bit x

 

[newbie1984]

Aww looks lovely! I prob won't use my main seat bit till he can sit up on his own, I'm scared he will flop forwards otherwise! X

 

[Doob]

That's what I thought, the chair bit looks a bit big for a newborn. I think I'll stick with the carrycot to start with x

 

[newbie1984]

I think the chair is for 6 months +

Did you see what I meant when I said the chair needs to be set upright for the other bits to fit? X

 

[dyscochick]

Yep I've got the same and was going to alternate the cot and car seat seat bits and leave the buggy type bit for a couple of months.

Yeah that took a bit of fiddling with but thanks for the info we'd have been there even longer otherwise!

I'd forgotten you have the same one too Dysco eek I was a little worried I'd not like it as our friends have got the bugaboo and I loved it when I saw it the other week but I'm really happy now I've had a play again.

When using the carseat, is there are recommended time you should only have them in it for? Something to do with them being more curled and their backs with using carseats for to long? Or have I got that wrong? X

 

[newbie1984]

2 hours for the car seat. I half wish I got a bugaboo too but I do love my pram. It looks nice. I like the bugaboo chameleon though, not the bee. That one looks too low to the ground and small.

We chose well. I might get mine out now lol x

 

[Doob]

It was the Chameleon they have in red but apparently it cost them nearly £1000 for everything so double what the quinny cost and I do love my pram now I have it all set up.

2 hours was what I had in my head x

 

[newbie1984]

Yeah I couldn't warrant spending 1k on the pram. We got a good deal.

Just been bouncing for the last half hour. After watching videos I have been bouncing too softly! Need a little lay down now lol xx

 

[Doob]

Haha, it's hard to know how much to push it, I don't want it to burst on me. I had a go at the squats using the ball between you and the wall, won't be doing that again!!

 

[newbie1984]

I think ill just stick to bouncing! Are you drinking raspberry leaf tea? I need to get some.

 

[Sosie]

Afternoon girls
Sophs sorry about the false alam... I had one too last night.
I have the Quinny buzz and I'm leaving the seat bit until 6 months and just using the carry cot and carseat.
I really like the I candy but its sooooo expensive
Raspberry tea is quite nice actually... Been drinking 5 cups a day.. It hasn't seemed to do much though...
Bouncing tires me out and gives me a bit of a pain in my bum.. Ha!

[Doob]

I've been taking the raspberry leaf tablets but I'm in 2 minds whether to get any more when I run out.

Sophs, I missed that you had a false start how are things now? X

 

[jodied]

Sophs and Sosie sorry to hear you both had false alarms! come on December babies we need another labour thread. Getting close to 12/12/12 as well!

 

[Doob]

Ooo surely someone must get the 12/12/12, so excited by the prospect of a labour thread!!!!! Come on babies x
