Hi Ger,

Hmm, they must have changed their policies because when I ordered it there was no international restrictions and they delivered to me in Dublin with no hassle. It’s a real pity if they no longer deliver here but that seems to be a trend with a lot of internet companies in the last year.

How did you buy this from Kiddiecare? Their website says they will not deliver outside of the UK?
Did you get it delivered to the North?

Thanks
Ger

I love your site Paul, very useful and great to see someone filling a much needed gap. If I think of any other sites I will definitely let you know.

Hi Claire,
nice post…. my sentiments exactly. Thats what I try to tackle in my blog.
If you have any other nice links like that Kiddicare one please pass them on to me. I have added a Grazr widget to my blog which will act as a directory of online shopping sites. My choice of sites probably has a slightly male bias, so it would be great if you could make a few suggestions to balance things out a bit.
I suppose one reason Irish people are not fully exploiting the economics of the Internet, is because there is no really good online guide available to them. The internet service providers or irish search directories, don’t do it for me. Search directories are too all encompassing and its takes an effort to distinguish the good sites from the mediocre ones.
So I am trying to filter out the best ones and adding commentary through my blog to emphasise why I’m picking those sites.

There are people who use the internet, and there are people who are scared of it. I always feel like im in some sort of infomercial when trying to explain the benifits of shopping online.

I’m thinking we should get one of those, the baby’s nearing 1.5 stones and the BabyBjorn is getting uncomfortably heavy and he has outgrown the pram basket weeks ago. We got a nice-looking pram off the internet and it’s been great, apart from the plastic squeaking that annoys not only the baby and the person pushing it, but also the innocent people sitting on park benches trying to drink their morning flaggins of cider in peace. I think I’ll read a bit more reviews next time before buying anything expensive online.

Hiya Stuart. No, two’s your limit I’m afraid. I can imagine you’d get quite a workout pushing any pram that could fit 3 kids!

Heh, my mother in law is so suspicious of the dreaded internet that she still insists in dealing with a travel agent face to face. I saved her around 300 quid once on a holiday but she wouldn’t take it because she thought it had to be a ‘dodgy internet scam’. Deadly looking pram though, if they come in black I’d get one and put a little knightrider light
on the front

Hi Redmum, I’ve never tried to get it onto a bus but only because I know it would be impossible. It’s far too heavy and awkward to even get up on the steps let alone to try and collapse it and lift it one-handed. It’s definitely not a bus-friendly pram.

Even the DART is a pain because so many stations don’t have good access to one or other of the platforms. Thankfully they’re working on getting lifts in all the stations now. I can’t imagine what people in wheelchairs have been doing up until now. Not getting the DART I suppose.
