I had an horrifically scary experience with my Phil & Ted's buggy on Friday that I wanted to share in case it prevents a terrible accident. I had been getting on and off the trains all day, then suddenly when I went to get off the train in Purley the front wheel fell off the buggy and under the train. The whole buggy lurched forward and down - luckily my baby was strapped in and I had the loop around my wrist so I was able to keep a hold of the buggy and stop it and my baby from following the wheel down and through the gap in the platform and under the train!! It was so scary. I wanted to let people know to be careful if you have a phil & ted buggy where the front wheel detaches. I don't know why the wheel came off suddenly. I had got on to the train and it was fine and on and off a few trains throughout the day. Perhaps the lever got caught on the edge of the train on the way out?? There was no way to get the wheel until the train pulled out, then they stopped the trains on the track in order to get the wheel off the track - I dread to think what would have happened if I didn't have the strap around my wrist.


Please be careful - I have contacted phil & ted to let them know.

Bloody hell, that must have been scary! I never felt very safe with our old P&T as they're a bugger for rolling away, and mine very nearly rolled in to a road once.


My fault for not having the wrist strap on, but that could have been a very very high price for a little oversight.

      Clapham to Dulwich Advice

      Between Herne Hill and North Dulwich gives you good options for transport. You have the line into London Bridge, trains to Victoria and the Thameslink into City Thameslink. Plus it's not too far from Brixton tube.

      Wow - will do as you say - just find it extraordinary one needs to post something so trivial as this on forum - each to their own. Been a%member for a long time and know the-forum well - bought sold, given things way, had hubs and offered advice…

      You do know that this post is the reason that forums exist? So that people can ask for help, advice etc.  I'm not sure what "...daughter of mothers"  means but if you mean friends, not everyone has friends, or is confident enough to ask other mums at the school. Oh and you it's nothing to do with your age -  be kind, be helpful or if you can't, leave it to someone who can.

      We got our daughter's done at Superdrug. They have a designated, trained member of the team so it's not just a random shop assistant who does it.  It was fine, there's not much to say other than the piercings are in the right place and there's been no problems afterwards
