Yeah, sound like you got in just in time!

Ellasmummy - would you mind PM the name of the place you bought yours? I really want the Amethyst and it doesn't look like they'll be in Australian stores until Nov/Dec which is too late for this impatient pregnant woman

Tarsh - thanks hon, I had found that deal and it is awesome but I really want the Amethyst colour (it's dark purple) and they won't be in Aus stores until the end of this year. Bugger!

Sahbear - that's a great tip, I hadn't seen that site! Was it a lot cheaper to do the purchasing and shipping seperately then? I'm happy to give that a go if it makes a bit of difference.

Well I've just bought my Maxi Cosi capsule (at an absolute steal might I add ) so I'm ready to get the pram now!!

I bought my baby jogger city mini double from Baby on the run and it was great, everything came within 7 days, I would recommend them. Some of my friends have bought theirs from Winkalotts from NZ which is cheaper too.

I think they charge a % to purchase it for you, but i cant remember how much! Sorry - not very helpful am I!? Hopefully it explains it on the website.
Shipping can be a little expensive - so we went to a baby shop here - to get the dimensions of the box and the weight - so we could work out approx how much shipping was with them before we did it!
I was slightly embarrased asking to see the box in the store here - so i made up a little white lie of moving across the country and needing it the info so i could ship it over!

also - i have heard good things about Baby on the run!

Sorry hun it was the same place, baby on the run, thought I put it in my op just realised I didn't! So jealous there's a purple one - I want!! Wonder if DH will let me upgrade lol.

Also I think the maxi cosi fits better into the pram, although the safe n sound seems fine it just looks a bit weird lol. DD actually hates the capsule and turned out to be the biggest waste of money plus the $100 on the adaptor to put the bloody thing on!!
