Bugaboo Donkey?

[AngelPants]

Yeah they did go on to try to force the s&s unity on me if I was wanting one now, After me saying about the crash rating getting 1 out of 5 compared to the maxi cosi's 4.5... The worst bit is they are normally really good, I must have gotten a dodgy sales person... Looks like we are getting the peg perrigo one, those r the only 3 that fit our pram!

Back to the donkey yay! How exciting ttl! What colour did u order?

sent from my watzamajig so may not make sense....

Hey gorgeous AP - I ordered black bottom with off-white tops. Probably will be hard to keep clean - but I just couldnt resist

I'm stuck now because the only car seat that fits the Donkey is the maxi cosi - same as you we've ordered 2 peg's.

I wouldn't get the unity either - even if it does fit your pram, according to Chep - thanks frangipani - it's only got one star so just not worth it!

Sorry to bring the discussion back to the Maxi Cosi, but I am really confused! From what I can tell it's being recalled because you have to remove the tether strap to take it out of the car, correct? But from what I know, all capsules in Australia work that way. We had a SnS Unity with DS1 and had to do the same thing. I was under the understanding that the tether strap was a requirement for Australian Standards and that is why many of the European and US models don't meet our standards. So I can't see how they could redesign it without you having to undo the tether strap and still have it meet our standards. Even when we moved DS1 to the SnS Meridian we still had to loosen the tether strap to get him out....

It has been recalled because the tether strap was actually permanently attached to the capsule,I.e. stitched on, so that you had to actually undo it from the anchor bolt to remove the capsule from the car.....it was only only on capsules made to the new standard so only a few had been sold. They removed all stock from the shops and although it has Not been widely advertised if you are unhappy with yours they are giving refunds. This is not the original micos just a few that we're in the latest design release.....basically someone stuffed up in the design.....who wants to have to cart the tether strap around with you when the capsule is not in the car.

Oh and the word on the grapevine is that the new safety first capsule might just fit onto the maxi cosi adapters making it a possibility for the donkey....fingers crossed because it rates highly in the CREP tests.

can someone explain customs taxes to me? I am going to buy the Cameleon from a before mentioned website but I recently read on a FB page about people paying a customs fee or tax? It hadn't occurred to me and I can't figure out the fees which of course I need to include in my calculations of if it is cheaper to buy online or in a shop...

Thanks for clearing that up. What a massive design flaw! I can't believe they actually went into production with them. Mine definately doesn't have the tether strap permanently attached, so I guess I don't have to worry.
