Debra's Revived Double Stroller Swap ***FULL***

[parith1114]

Hey Michele,
Received your payment and sent a message to xrayvin to confirm your dates. Hope you enjoy the stroller!

 

[parith1114]

Just wanted to update everyone that the stroller is officially paid in full. I think from reading Faindrops post the rain cover is also paid in full. That means from this point forward anyone wishing to use the stroller only needs to donate an item to the person after them in the swap (i.e. baby wipes, disposable sippy cups, stickers for their children, just about anything would work). I'm so glad this swapped worked so well, I hope that you all enjoy your trips!

I was wondering if we should get the storage cover. I did a quick search and found it for $40 for the double. There are several more people using it and it may protect the stroller between visits. I know we had talked about this in the past, but now that stroller is paid off maybe it would work if we get 3 more people. Looking at the first page I see 3 people who are "unconfirmed" I am not sure if they have paid and being Debra is on vacation it has not shown up yet or if we could use these 3 to get the storage bag and then call it done...just donations. What does everyone think?

 

[mrsmagic]

Hello,

I paid faindrops for January 17-24, so I'm ready to move from "unconfirmed" to "paid".

Thanks so much!

 

[jaymesmommy2004]

I paid off our trip tonight!!!!

Also i broke down and bought a new car this weekend (a second vehicle) as we just could not survive with one vehicle anymore with two in school, me workign, and the million and one doctors appts each month.

My birthday week is starting off wonderful and I know my DH has a surprise for me other than the blacked out window tint he had done on my car today!!

I just had to share my excitement and to think only 2 months and 10 days until Disney!!!

Ok, ladies I am so sorry that I have not been on. It is just so hard to bring myself back to the boards. When, I know I will not be returning for a long while. Anyway, MrsMagic has paid me. I have gotten two payments so far. So the rain cover is paid for.

Since I will not be visiting the boards, as frequent. Is there anyway. I can transfer the responsibility of taking money, or confirming dates.
I got a pm, stating.
Sarahsmom- Is interested in the stroller Nov 25-28 Xrayvin. If you can confirm or update. Thank you very much!

I was updated on post #363 but not yet on the first page. I think I am confirmed & updated (but not just yet on the first page).
Thanks.

 

[xrayvin]

SARAHS1MOM~you are confirmed. I can not edit Debra's post on page one which is why you are not on there. Don't worry I have you marked as paid!

I will be taking over (I believe) keeping track of everyone being the 3 original gals have completed their vacation. Although if Debra still wants to do it when she gets back I will gladly let her! The bad part of having me take over is that I will not be able to edit the orginal list on page one.

Everyone that is new, thanks for being patient during this time soon we will have all the pieces together. If anyone is looking for dates...we still have plenty open!

Everyone have a great night!

Hello ladies. I am back from our wonderful vacation and wanted to report on the stroller. After checking into the Yacht club we drove to POP and picked up the stroller with absolutely no problems at all. He brought me the stroller, the rain cover and a storage bag. The stroller was not in the bag, but he brought it out seperately. This surprised me because I didn't remember us getting a storage bag. I checked the tags and all of them had my name on it so I left him a tip and took them. It also had a stroller umbrella that we did not use, and two hooks that were quite handy.

The stroller handled quite well. We had 6 kids total so the last day when we went to EPCOT we also rented a disney stroller. Now comparing the two I have to admit that the Disney stroller handled a bit better but I still think we are all getting a very good deal for $15. We had no problems getting on the monorail or boats with the stroller. Getting through the gates at MK was tough and we wound up folding it up to get through. At animal kingdom and Studios some gates are wider than others, just count the rails in the gates and you should be able to figure out which ones are wider. We just made sure we went through a wide one and had no problems. The stroller has three cup holders that were great for drinks, keys, cell phones, maps, or whatever.

On our last day, we cleaned the stroller and tried to get it in the stroller bag it came with but it didn't fit. So now I am thinking that it belongs to another stroller swap and was mistakenly given to us. If someone else could verify this then I will post to the other swappers that we have a bag to see if we can get it back to the right place.

PJZkent called me and said they couldn't find the stroller at OKW. Luckily I still had the claim ticket so I took a picture with my cell phone and texted it to her. They were finally able to locate it and she did get it, but I am sure she was getting quite nervous about not knowing where it was.

the extra stuff you were given belongs to urgoingagain's swap, I think.
they reported last week as having a stroller bag and parasol missing.

Debra~Glad to have you back here! I do have a question, does the stroller have cleaning stuff with it or did you bring it with you?

I just got a PM from urgoinagain she is wondering about the stroller bag and umbrella. We need to get this back to their swap. Debra, do you think we should contact pjzkent and have her leave it somewhere or should we try to get ahold of SStaughton before she leaves? We just need to let them know so they can have someone in their swap pick it up.

 

[faindrops27]

Ok, I came back on to see if Debra, had gotten the stroller.. Now, that I see she did. I am relieved. So, now let me clarify. I left only a rain, and some mesh cover. With our stroller. Debra, you did see it, in the underseat compartment, of the stroller yes??

I have no idea, about a stroller bag.

 

[debraW76]

I left a message with Julie and she called me back. She will deliver the stroller bag and parasol to POP tomorrow so it can reunite with the correct stroller swap.

Also, the tear in the seat of our stroller is getting bigger. She asked that next in line bring a sewing kit or at least a roll of duct tape to hold it together. when I left it it was bigger than a quarter and it is right over where the bar comes together to seperate the two seats so a lot of tension is on it. It is bound to keep tearing with normal use.

The stroller does not have cleaning stuff with it. I wiped it down with a damp towel and then sprayed it down with lysol.

I think filling in the gaps for free or donation of something will lessen the chances of it getting 'lost' in storage. However, keep in mind that it also increases the wear of the stroller. Honestly, I feel I am disqualified to make a decision regarding this since the decision doesn't affect me directly. How does the people at the end of the swap feel?
