Hi


I can't seem to get hold of a set of back wheels for the old bee model, they've stopped making them it seems...grrr! So our Bee will be going to Bugaboo heaven, so sad as I have loved the bee, but with a one year old I don't want to fork out on a new one and wondered what other good alternatives there are out there. We do A LOT of walking & public transport so it needs to be quite sturdy but I want something light too, that doesn't cost the earth, is this even possible?! I was thinking a Maclaren might do the job but not sure which model etc?


Thanks

Hi


Was in a similar position to you last year - but then I discovered the Baby Jogger City Mini and I'm completely in love! I wish I'd bought it from birth - it's light but sturdy, easy to manoeuvre and has a ridiculously quick and easy fold. Plus it looks comfortable for my daughter and has a great sun shade on it.

Hi


We're in the same situation as you, with a one year old and an older bugaboo with rubbish rear wheels! According to this https://www.facebook.com/BugabooRepairGuy you can put the bugaboo bee plus rear wheels on an old bugaboo. We haven't got round to ordering any or trying it yet, but it might be worth a try if you're less lazy than us?!

I also do loads of walking and use public transport regularly. We replaced our Bee with a Maclaren Quest. It's not as nice to push as the Bee and harder to steer 1 handed but my son sleeps well in it and it is very lightweight and narrow so perfect for buses/trains/lugging up steps.

    • For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500.  (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted.  Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me.  Usually get a decent reduction.  Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal.  Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.      
    • The drivers generally have the same set area to cover every day, so they're fairly easy to follow - quite often on bike. They organise their drops to maximise how many they can do within a given time - there's actually software at the depot to do this before they set off - so they tend to follow the same route. Certain addresses are delivery hotspots, some have two or three drops a day from the various couriers. It all adds up doorstep deliveries being incredibly easy to target. I suspect Vladi's neighbour hasn't had their fake parcel nicked, not because of their security, but because the thief simply wouldn't have seen the driver stop there, so there's nothing to steal. The losses are factored in, driving prices up for everyone, and the drivers are treated abysmally. It's a dreadful business. It needs regulating.   Sorry, cross post with Angelina and Alec1
    • Amazon seem to do this more and more now.  They don't even ring the doorbell, just leave them lying on the door step, then you find out it's been delivered when you check tracking.  The official Amazon vans are frequently followed on their routes by thieves and take the opportunities freely given.
