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.

    • Because land has been exempt from inheritance tax wealthy individuals (like Clarkson and Dyson) have used it as a tax avoidance measure. Clarkson is on the record stating that he bought land for precisely this purpose. It is people like him who farmers should be angry with, if anyone, because they have exploited a loophole, which is now being (partially) closed. Yes, I do grasp the concept of inheritance - it's were one is given money, or valuable assets by chance of birth (having done nothing to earn it). As money you have earned, is taxed, it seems odd that money you have not, shouldn't be. I assume you don't disapprove of income tax? Why do you think people coming into a massive, unearned windfall shouldn't pay tax, but a nurse who works hard for everything they earn, should? Everyone has to pay inheritance tax over a certain threshold. In my opinion, if you are fortunate enough to be gifted any amount of money (whether cash, or a valuable asset), to quibble about paying some tax on some of it, seems rather entitled. Most farms worth under £3m will still end up being passed on tax free. Those that do have to a pay inheritance tax will do so at just 20% on that part of it that is over the threshold (rather than the standard 40%), and they'll have 10 years to do so (usually it is payable immediately). So it is still preferential terms for those being gifted a multimillion pound estate. 
    • Ah yes, good spot! Thanks for the link. It sounds like they are planning a licensed restaurant with a small bar from reading through the application. 
    • I think your ISP has jumped the gun - told you about a change that isn't quite here. I agree with suggestion of https://www.aa.net.uk/ - i have been with them since ADSL was invented and found them helpful.
    • I’m younger than you but have received a couple of cheques in the past year or so. And also written one out. Depositing a cheque is actually less of a faff then setting up a new payee or sharing your details. Just open the app, go the section to deposit money and take a picture of the cheque.
