I am not sure if it'll work well trying to explain this without a visual demo, but any tips welcome!


We've got a second hand cameleon and have only ever used it in pram mode. We now want to fit our maxi cosi carseat on it, and I have two attachments with a pic of a carseat on them, but can't quite work out how it all slots together. We didn't get an instruction book and I currently can't work the DVD we got.


I am being really slow so I thought I'd see if someone can point me in the right direction before I break it! I know it'll be hard to explain so thank you in advance to anyone willing to give it a go!


Thanks.

Thank you so much, that's extremely kind and I may take you up on it - I was hoping to use it tomorrow but we haven't sussed it out so may have to revert to the pram for now, and I'll learn at a later date - I'll get back in touch if I don't work it out.

The hardest part is the release and getting them the right way round, they state R and L but it depends which way the seat faces. I haven't used mine for a while but seem to remember it was always the opposite to what I expected. If you do put them on the wrong way round the car seat won't look right when clipped on, kind of on a slant!! Easy to just squeeze release and swap over though :-)

Well I thought we'd cracked it but this is with the seat facing away from me and I'm sure I've seen them the other way round - but it didn't look like I could just swap the adaptors around. It will do for today! I agree on the releaing - my back is not great right now and I find using all this stuff pretty uncomfortable!

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
