For those of you who have bought a pram from the USA....

[Taurean]

i brought both my baby jogger city mini single and double off ebay US its alot cheaper even with postage im not worried about warranty and the pram's i got are 2011 models and have the red brake anyway so i just have to get a safety strap and there the same as our's

That's what I thought too! I read up about the 'safety standards' last night and they appear to be the only difference plus Aussie prams now have the warning tags such as 'Do not hang bags from the handle bar', etc. If that's the only differences then that's definitely not an issue. Thanks!

Nae - I thought you'd bought yours from the States, have been meaning to ask you so cheers for popping in. I'll check out that place now. I've got the Elite and LOVE it but really want to be able to connect my new capsule and DD at the same time which I can't do on the Elite. Bummer! With regards to having a new born in the Elite, definitely get one of the new cocoons they've released as it actuallly clips in properly into the main seat when its flat. A few friends had the equivalent thing with their P&T prams and they were awesome. Also, we moved DD from her bassinet into the main seat when she was just 9 weeks old. I didn't bother with the shoulder straps as she was reclined quite a bit anyway (and they were too bulky) and we used a full baby insert which had the neck support as well. I think I also used the sheepskin liner underneath all that for extra comfort. It worked a treat.

I am SURE mine has a warning about hanging bags from the handle bar Its in my boot and I'd check but its too cold to go outside in my jarmies

Do you know if you can use those new capsules so the head goes closest to you so you can use the toddler seat as well??

LOL! Go out in the cold for me right now!!

I put the capsule on my Elite the other day and it only goes the one way which is facing you and you can't fit the toddler seat on at the same time as the adapters for the capsule sit below the holes for the toddler seat. There is no room at all for a toddler....unless they were happy to lay flat in the main seat

Thats really handy to know thanks heap hun. Looks like a neck roll and sheepskin it is ... luckily I don't need to purchase either of those

[Taurean]

No probs at all!

Just looked at My Strollers and yep, they're certainly cheaper! It won't let me calculate shipping costs at the checkout though, claims it can't ship to the address (postcode) provided. Did you contact them direct?

I cannot remember hun sorry, I know there is a section for International perchases in the FAQ or similar maybe have a read?? Might be worth getting up early one morning and doing the "Live Chat" rather than emails as emails seemed to take forever to get responses whereas the live chat is just that :-)

might pop over and have a looksee BRB ..........

I just had a look at my account information and my postcode is put in as -3988 rather than just 3988, so addy appears like this:

NaeNae S

1234 My street name
Suburb state
-3988
Australia

I do recall having some issues but I cannot remember what I did

stupid question but........... buying from ebay are you sure they wont cover the warranty???? plus on my baby jogger manual (i bought mine locally) it says to only call them not my baby store!
maybe look into again and just double check you might be totally covered over here with faults xoxo
