Buying one O/S will def be cheaper....to transport it back I would be assembling it and buying a stokke pram pack to transport it in....that way you pop it n the plane as part of your luggage allowance as you are allowed to carry a pram in addition to your normal suitcase weight allowance. Here in duo or twin mode you getting close to the $2000 mark.
who has actually bought a Bugaboo from Babyshop? DH and I are thinking of getting the cameleon from there. It's pretty cheap at Baby Bunting at the moment but don't want to store it for 6 months... or even 3 if we lay by... so knowing I can get it cheaper online is comforting! But just wanting to hear how people found the service and if the warranty is still valid in Aust?
Bugaboo is the only pram that has a world wide warranty except on its US models, so dont buy from there, but anywhere else is fine. I am on an Australian bugaboo facebook page and heaps of people have bought from there, no one has had a problem......delivery is in the three week timeframe to be on the safe side, some have got their prams earlier than that even. Very ocassonally they may go out of stock but they always let you know straight away and what the time frame is, most of the time it has only been an extra couple of weeks....hope that helps!
really? i was looking at the duo?? black base...just had another look and yep, still coming up at $1339. i wonder if my search being here in italy makes a difference?? weird! because i remember it being the $1100 price when i was in the US and looking....
Hey Cassius just double checked for you, def shows as 1100 euro for me.
I went to babyshop dot se then selected the English option. Don't know if that helps you!
Cassius you are getting the price including VAT. The euro version of GST. That's why it is Showing up as more expensive. As for GST on imports no one on the bugaboo page has been charged as yet....it comes in two boxes, one the base unit and one the duo extension kit, so seems to miss the eagle eye of customs! If you wanted to be sure, you could always order he two bits separately a few days or so apart, would mean two shipping fees though.
I will be purchasing the Bugaboo Donkey Twin tomorrow via babyshop.com I've been a bit nervous but sent them an email with a few questions and they were really helpful and great.
Cost for the Donkey Twin is 1,191 euro plus 29 euro shipping so 1,220 euro total which is the equiv of about $1,518AU.
So considering the Twin retails here for $2,199 - I'm still saving myself $700AU!
As I'm only 23 weeks ph do you think it is too early for me to be buying a pram? I really want honest answers here please. I'm having twins and it's been a tough pregnancy wi TTTS etc. I've been feeling more positive but I'd hate to buy the pram too early and have something go wrong! Througts?
And yes as soon as it arrives I'll let you know how the experience was/ is all turns out.
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?
The donkey had not been released when my boys (1 and 3) were little but I used to attach the capsule to the cammy and I loved the convenience . If I had another bub and used the donk then I would def want a capsule that attaches.
