2013 Project365 (Day 212)
On Friday last week our Phil & Ted’s buggy collapsed and died. It had served us valiantly, as well as it’s owners before us, but the great weight of The Little Mister and my niece combined was too much for it’s poor cracked frame.
Unfortunately it died just after I had walked across the road from the car, with The Little Mister asleep and fully laden with beach stuff. I had to summon two youths who were standing nearby and they helpfully carried it back across the road to the car.
So, this left us without a buggy and a camping trip planned in three weeks. Emergency shopping was required so we went to our local store which had a dreadful selection. After many hours of reviewing our options we decided on the Baby Jogger City Elite. It was a bit like our old one (without the doubles kit) but quite a bit cheaper.
I hate poor customer service and often complain, but this time I have nothing but good things to say about Practical Pushchairs. We ordered on Saturday night, I got an email at 7am on Sunday morning about VAT and the buggy arrived this morning. We were able to track the delivery all the way through. That’s pretty impressive service in my book!
So, tonight a little walk in the evening sunshine. The Little Mister slept beautifully until we turned into the garden and now it is 9.30pm and he is still awake.
