Pram to fit the S2

james · Post by **james** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 9:20 pm

I know this will strike fear into several members here, but I have a baby related question

I know there are a couple of prams that will definately fit into the Elise S2 boot (I read it somewhere a while ago but for the life of me, I cant find the link anywhere on the other forums - probably due to the lack of sleep recently.

)

I just wondered if anyone out there knows which make/model of pram actually fits into the boot as my daughter is now getting too heavy to carry around in her bucket seat

so I need to get her some cool wheels that will fit in my car or we will have to use the wife's all the time.

There is I believe a wierd three wheel thing in mothercare that folds up to the size of a large tin of baked beans.... slight exageration maybe but it is impressive, but expensive.

Off to look at the mothercare web site... again...

I think its this one...

You want a Quinny Zapp, think its one of the most compact you can buy. Youll still need to take the quick release wheels off though to get it in the boot. Our 1 Year old is just fitting it now with a bit of modification to the straps.

Oh...and we got an aftermarket basket and net for it to make it a bit more practical from buggybaskets on ebay.

But do have a sensible family car as tow car... shame on me

It is a Quinny Zap. You don't need to take the wheels off though, it fits in the boot fine. You can also put it in the passenger footwell..

I've got a "cosy toes" (click here) for it in red in good nick if you are interested, like the link but without the pocket. I was going to put it on FleaBay but I'm open to offers...

What you really want is a Macpac Koala carrier, forget the pram!

Essentially a rucksack converted in into a snug seat, available with canopy and insect shield etc. Got mine from some online outfit : http://www.theoutdoorshop.com/Outdoor/P ... ct=OUT1508

Fits in the Elise boot (S1) and I hope to try behind the seats as well some time. Eilidh loves it! No pics avail at present, sadly

I have fatherhood looming in November. I am just planning to put the sprog in the boot, making sure it is well velcroed in so it doesn't roll about on fast corners and risk damaging the clam

With my first due in Oct, Mark, can't we just let the 2 sprogs play together at home while we go out for a blat.

I'm not in denial - but am shocked at myself for now having sat here for 5 mins looking at the Mothercare website!! How can any of us think to buy something called a quinny zapp?? Sounds more like something you'd do to make babies in the first place.....

Yeah, I am sure they could keep each other amused

Never been anywhere near Mothercare, but the quinny zapp has aroused my curiosity

Someone else asked me yesterday if I was going to be selling the Exige cos of the impending sprog. I resisted the inclination to thum him, but said if I ever show the slightest inclination to even think about buying a people carrier I should be shot.
