 I cant believe there are a hundred posts about a pushchair, I have not got mine yet, really want to see it first. The only thing that puts me off is that some people have said it does not sit up enough and he is at that stage where he wants to sit up himself and screams if there are any straps holding him down. My baby is really fussy and if he is'nt totally comfortable he gets twisty. We have the mutsy urban rider as my big pram, which is lovely but he doesn't like the straps, then I got the m&p scoot which he loves, he can move wherever he likes but its too big to take on holiday, the zia seems perfect for holidays but he will be spending a lot of time in it and I dont want to end up carrying him all over. My hubby is getting really annoyed with me, he hates me talking about pushchairs, I cant sleep thinking which will be the best to get.

Hi everyone! Well finally over thank=you all so much for Summers birthday greetings. It was manic day. Spent first half up hospital with son and second running round like mad woman making sarnies etc. Went really well its funny how bunch of7year old boys seemed to enjoy jelly and icecream party and pin the tail on donkey more than expensive parties! Got a sheet of bart simpson wrapping paper and they all had to write their name on thep ictures I'd put some crosses on back and the nearest won a prezzie, how easy!! Oh and SUMMER LOVED IT TO! Nicola, Summe is the same she hates not being upright and although this isn't quite upright enough she still loves it. Debating though about getting a couple of strips of velcro and sticking those on to the back and side of zia to make it more upright. You can get it easily enough and I reckon that would work brilliantly, I'll let you know x

andrea and nicola, my zia sits up fine. i really pull the strap tight at the back before i put ben into it,(i pull it so tight that it actually looks all crumpled at the back ) then it is as upright as my other buggies ! go on nicola...buy it 
|
|
Yeah go on! Mine's fine too, I do the same as Linda! Sounds like you had more fun than the kids Andrea 
|
|
Hey. thanks for the tips on snowsuits, i'll be looking tomorrow! I do the same with my zia pull the back up tight so it sits up straight, I don't know why though cos all ben does is pushes his bum down and slouches about! Lazy Lump!
|
|
He sounds like Summer, sure we're not related!!! She does it to get carried,!
|
|
I leave him lazing around! usually lie his buggy down a bit so he doesn't pull his neck. I went into to town today, ben was in is big buggy and it has one of those bars on the front. Anyway he's there slouching around chatting to his octopus and the next thing i knew he'd moved himself round so he was sat 'side saddle' and put his feet up on the bar!!! talk about lazy! must take after his dad for that!!!

I couldn't find a snowsuit/all-in-one big enough 
|

My sister in law has just gave me a snow suit for my 4 year old, its from george. The tag says George snow sports. I know most ASDA's only have a small range of clothes but if you went to one of the bigger ones you might be in luck.

Thanks Nicola I have just ordered one from a site called Little Possums its a fleece lined waterproof one. A little expensive for my liking especially as he'll only be in it for a few months!! Think i'll go to george to see if i can find a better one and it'll be a reasonable price! Thanks Again xxxx

Rebbecca, if you have one near you try Decathlon they do real all in one ski suit of extremly good quality, in all sizes and at great value. I bought one last year for my 11 year old skiing trip at £14.99. He only worn T shirts underneath and was all day in the snow! Alternatively try H&M they do great skiing suit as well! Sorry if i come too late with my suggestions!
|
|
thanks Annabelle for your suggestions I've never heard of Decathlon but i'll try to find the nearest store. I'm still waiting for the one from little possums that i ordered, it must have got lost in the post strikes?!
|
|
Who'd have thought it would be do hard to find a winter all in one! 
|
|
what size do you need? I have a brand new verbaudet all in one bought for Summer but they sent wrong size and i just kept it. tell me what length you need and I will check it for you. It is for girl or boy and looks massive really really nice though
|

Decathlon is a big store specialised into sports and outdoor products. They are very good and great value if there is one near you it is worth checking out! Alternatively I have called the little star customer service last week and they said the zia footmuffs and changing bags are out in black and coming out in november in teal and cranberry! I have looked for stockists for the black version (just to have a preview as I want them in teal) and did not find them anywhere! I am very tempted to buy the Bing bing footmuff but I want to see the zia one first... So unnoying!

Hi Andrea, I've tried the coats in the Verbaudet cat. Thanks anyway, that was the first place i tried, bought the biggest they did but it was two tight around the body! My son is nearly 14months old with short little fat legs and a very long body! He is in vests for a 2 to 3 yearold and i've had to start buying his t-shirt and jumpers in the same size cos otherwise they ride up and he will get a cold tummy! BUt pants are in size 18/24 month and they're two big round the waist and leg! When he was born all the midwives kept coming up to me and saying let me see this big baby (10lb 4) He didn't fit into his new born baby grows, had to have his little legs sticking out the bottom! its no wonder i have a bad back! I'm gonna try the Decathlon store Annabelle has suggested, i did order a coat from a site called little possums but it still hasn't arrived! I have got some fleece footmuffs for him on both buggys and on the car seat but when i'm going to work sometimes at 7am i need something warmer especially when i have just got him out of bed! I'm starting to worry about his nappies now, he's just gone into the second to last size (5+) he'll not fit into any by time he's two/ two and a half! and i can't see him being an early potty trainer he's been on the later side for everything else!

hi rebecca, my son is 21 months and just going into size 6 nappies !!!! i find that boots own brand active fit are a lott bigger than pampers. did you try woolworths clothing for the all in one snowsuit ?? they are really generous sizes, i am sure you would find one in there to fit your little man.
|
|
Hey thanks I'll try boots nappies, i did try woolworths, still no luck

/Hi rebecca will make this quick as my pc has crashed 3 times while writing this. Had same problem with eldest son Dylan, had little poosum and it wa great but little tight round waist, we used to do a lot of rough camping and climbing and when he was one (going to send this bit incase of crash )
|

Right , we bought a fleece all in one from Cotswold outdoor shop it was expensive £35 7 years ago, but we paid 15 s it was 'last seasons colour!!!!!!' It lasted him for ages then my son Tyler wore it now Summer does, The thing is because camping stores cater for people who take their babies up hills etc in winter (I know , I'm mad) they tend to make heir all in one alot larger as they have to deal with all the layers (see next mail)
