Bugaboo Donkey?

[Cassius2]

Thanks guys for the clarification re the different prices! now i have to wait until we get back to oz....not long now thankfully

TTL: you can never go wrong with a bugaboo! Of course i cannot give advice re preparing with twins, but 23 weeks sounds fair, especially with shipping times etc etc.

Thanks Cassius,
Ok I am going ahead with the order - i had one last question.

It seems the maxi cosines car capsule is the online that actually fits onto the Donkey frame. And the maxi cosis have been recalled and who knows when they will be available again.

I actually prefer the peg car capsule but it doesn't attach to the donkey frame so my questions is - how importnant is it for the car capsule to be able to attach to the donkey frame do you think?

Thanks,


Xx

hmmm on that one i dont know! and need to know lol! are all the maxi cosi capsules being recalled?

I would think that it would be integral if you wanted to use it that way ITMS. it needs to be able to be clipped on.

I think you're right about the Maxi Cosi being the only capsule that fits. But I hadn't heard anything about a recall? Can you tell me a bit about it, I'm a bit worried now cos we have one...

ETA:

I just found this after googling, it seems the recall was quite awhile ago and a different model to what they sell here in Australia. The one that I've got (and I'm pretty sure it's the only model that meets Aus regs) is the Titan

the AU maxicosi mico seats have been recalled just rceently because on the new 2010 standards compliant capsule the tether strap is attached to the capsule meaning you have to totally remove the tether strap from the anchor bolt and from the car every time you rmove the carseat...they are redesigining this......
