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

[faindrops27]

Xrayvin- Here it is. http://www.instep.net/Product/Accessories/Detail/60_Stroller_Weather_Shield_Double_25-SA035/

Also, I saw this double jogging rain cover by graco on amazon pretty cheap. Supposed to be a universal one. But, I do not know if the quality is as good.
What do you guys think? It would be cheaper.

Debra- I will not need the locker either. If, I do go next year. My son will be walking. I already have the maclaren for my daughter to bring down if I go.

Also, I will only have a car rental for a portion of my vacation. So, I hope someone will fill in the dates before Debra. Debra, will you have a car rental. To pick up the stroller from POP?

Faindrop~ I like the fact that the rain cover from instep is actualy for our stroller. I looked at the other two covers with instep and I actually like the other two better (I like the holes on the side for ventilation) Do you think one of those would work for our stroller...what is the big difference do you suppose? The rain cover from amazon looks pretty good but when I saw that 1 out of 2 people didn't like it becaus ethey had a hard time getting it to fit their stroller it made me nervous. But I am up for whatever everyone thinks is better.

From looking at the instep site. And, alot of others. I think they make certain ones for their different strollers. I am thinking it has something to do with fit.

About the ventilation holes. On my maclaran. There are no ventilation holes, and my child never had an issue. I believe the air flows through.

Yes, I read those reviews also. But, honestly. Whatever, everyone else wants to do. Just let me know. So, I can order it. I am almost down to 18 days!!

Parith did you recieve my pm?

If noone says anything by tomorrow morning. I am just going to go ahead, and purchase. As, I want to leave enough time for shipping. Well, goodnight all.

Hey ladies - I have been brainstorming about the gaps in our dates after XRayVin said that the AK resort would not store our stroller for the time needed. I need to call my resort to see if there is a problem there too because there is a 5 day gap between faindrops and me. Anyway, I contacted Owner's Locker today to see if they could offer us something for the short term gaps. They have not replied back yet, but I wanted to know what you thought? Basically I asked how much they would charge to store it for us during our gaps (plus pickup / delivery).

Are any of you members of owners locker?

How often do you travel to orlando? We usually travel once a year. If most of you do also what do you think about buying a membership to owners locker just for our stroller and we can all use it when we return to orlando again instead of letting it continue on the disboards? Annual membership is $99/year (includes one visit) plus $25 for each additional visit - or $179/year for unlimited visits. Plus there is a one time fee of $50 (disboard discount) but i think that is for the locker which we would not need because the stroller doesn't fit in one. If we get a few more swappers to finish paying for the stroller and accessories that would be an additional $15 each year for storage of our stroller.

Please let me know what you think and I will post again when I hear back from OL about more specific pricing.

Also, not something that would work for me either. Hopefully by next year, my kids will be walking and there will be no need for a double stroller. Good idea though for those who would use it. I do wonder how long a $200 stroller will hold up for though, problably not the type of item to last several years. Oh well, great idea with the swap though!!!

Good morning everyone!


Faindrops~ I have never used a rain cover before so it was good to know about ventilation. I say go for whichever one you think is best. By the time I use it so many people will have "figured" out how to hook it up that I am not worried about not knowing how to attach the universal one. You, however are one of the first and if the universal one is tricky with the fit you may have more problems. So I will leave it up to your lucky gals who are going to Disney soon to decide which way to go.

Melissa

Yes, I will have my car for the entire trip. So if you cannot take it to FW and if no one fills in that gap then I can pick it up from POP. I will PM you my info to put on the stroller when you leave.

5 weeks and counting !!!!

Yikes, ladies! We fell to the third page!!! Anyone for a stroller swap????

 

[xrayvin]

Welcome Nikki! I see you are there the week before me PM me sometime and we can talk about the handoff...

Good morning everyone.

 

[parith1114]

Hey everyone, our stroller swap is certainly shaping up. I think I have contacted everyone regarding payments. If I haven't please forgive me things are getting hectic...we're only 12 days from vacation . During my vacation I do not plan on bringing a computer. Debra if you or someone else would like to take over payments once the stroller is paid for to handle accessories that would be fantastic. Have a good day ladies, talk with you all soon.

 

[parith1114]

O.k, we need some dialogue to keep us at the top of the board. What is everyone's favorite Disney tune? I like "Whole New World" from Aladin. My kids would choose "Just can't wait to be King" from Lion King. Next....

Mine is the theme from Splash Mountain. I love it!

Ok, ladies so I ordered the rain cover yesterday very early morning. Before I even looked at the the posts here. I decided that I would rather go with the instep rain cover. The total price came to 29.XX. So, just send payment to my paypal acct. (Jexema@aol.com) I think Xrayvin, and debra, said we would split the cost. So, 9.00 from both of you will be sufficient. Thank you!

Parith- I did not send the cover onto POP, as they wanted your reservation number. I only had your address. So, I just had it shipped to me. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Debra- I got your pm. Can you please pm your reservation number also. So, I can tag all the information on the stroller. Thank you!

 

[faindrops27]

Oh, and welcome all newcomers!!

I cannot believe I only have 17 more days to go. When I get down to 14. I will start packing. Last three trips. I always wait until last minute. I am always scrambling the morning of, making sure I have everything. I almost always miss flights. My recent trip to Baltimore. I missed my flight. That was no fun at all. So, I promised myself. I will never do that again!

 

[faindrops27]

Ok, last post.

Parith-
I know you are super busy. But, I sent out a pm to you awhile ago. Asking when, and where we should swap the stroller? I know you leave the 24th. But, I do not really know what time, and at what place you would like to swap??

Ok, I am off to serve dinner!

faindrops, would you mind collecting money while parith is on vacation. I really dont like handling money but I will if you cannot. I just thought that would make sense since you already paid for the first accessory. That way you can be reimbursed???

Wait. I am not understanding. Forgive me, it has been a long day.

I think you are saying. You just want me to collect monies from new swappers while she is gone right? Well, in that case, no problem whatsoever.

We should try, and fill the spots. Maybe you can change the thread to stroller swap, and the dates available. Hopefully we can get every spot filled!

Yes, that is what I am asking. Parith says she will not have computer access and frankly I wouldn't want to worry about a stroller swap while I am on vacation either. This will just be for new swappers that are added while she is on her vacation. Then when she gets back you and her can even up.

Also, I changed our thread title to include the dates as you suggested. Let me know what you think.
