Still have some things available...who was it that wanted the Start footrest, again? Jenny? Ahzryn (sp?)

Thanks for looking!

I might want the Carry You thingy.
I'll stop by and see one IRL tomorrow and see how it works with my e-3 and DS. I'll let you know then.

Too bad your Zapp is mauve...I really want it!

[joolsplus3]

The Siena is 16 inches long...not sure if the Carry You site lists it as compatible with the E3, though... It holds a boatload of cheerios and a sippy cup, I can tell you that! :D

It's really a deep rich purple. I have it with my Quinny Speedi. Love it :thumbsup:
Mauve is what the Europeans consider the color. Go figure. :confused:

[joolsplus3]

Yeah, it's almost a purple as my "grape" mountain buggy :D...has more blue in it, though. I'd still call it purple...

[scatterbunny]

YES, I still want it! Payday is this Friday. ;)

[joolsplus3]

Awesome. It's boxed up and ready to go whenever :)

Well, I'm driving right by the store that has them tomorrow and they have a P&Ts too, so I'll just see if they work. I was bugging them every week for a while, and haven't been in in a few months, so they probably miss me anyway. :whistle:

If you sell it before I tell you for sure- no problem;)

Couple of questions about the Verve:
1. How does it push? I've got a Zooper Twist and I've started having problems with the front wheels getting stuck. I only use it when going into a small store that I need to have DS2 contained, but it's still a pain when the wheels don't turn properly! And though it's a rarity, I've noticed it's really hard to push DS1 - he's @ 36 lbs.

2. Can you confirm the wheel width of the stroller - online it says 22.8". But it looks more narrow than my Zooper, which is 20" wide.

2. How old is your Verve? I see them on Amazon new for $135, so unless yours is pretty much new too, I couldn't justify paying $120 for a used one.

[joolsplus3]

It pushes beautifully :). I really like that about it... just really a breeze to push (I loved to stand and spin it, it turns *on a dime*, literally). Yeah, that's about the wheel width (I was comparing it to another stroller recently and remember it being 'almost' 2 feet.

Wow, is it down that low now? I paid 199, but am absolutely more than willing to lower the price again (someone told me 100 was 'a good price' so I raised it to 120...d'oh!). How about 95 shipped? (I suspect they only made one batch, I got it just before xmas 2007 when they were super-new on the market...hence the full price I paid, lol).

Thanks for asking :)

DH will think I'm crazy for wanting to switch strollers again - though I wouldn't mention it to him! ;) Especially since I always made fun of how many strollers my sis went through! But my P&T is sometimes just too bulky to use and the Zooper is starting to get on my nerves!
I'll definitely give it some thought tonight and let you know....thanks! Anneke

[joolsplus3]

No problem, good luck deciding either way!

:thumbsup:

[seamonkeys]

One last question, what is the seat depth? I've read reviews (tho can't always trust them!) that it's too small.

[joolsplus3]

Here's some IRL pictures... Darn, I should have measured more before I stuck it in the box! http://picasaweb.google.com/joolstag/Strollers (ignore the complete misuse of the SS1 on it... <innocent whistle>)

[katiesmommy]

I wish DH would let me buy your Zapp. I love that color.

[Ahzryn]

And yes, I was next in line for the footrest, just in case!

I have a red Zapp that I would consider selling for what the $150 jools is asking for the Mauve Zapp and then I could buy hers.

I still have the bag and maybe the rain cover, but got rid of the Cosi Max carseat adapters.

[joolsplus3]

LOL! Yeah, the Mauve is delicious! I've been waiting on a potential buyer (she's had a perfect storm of paypal issues, it seems... It's taking forever for her to pay me!). (Coincidentally, she's selling a yellow bugaboo bee... THAT's what you need, Joy! It's got a bug cover that fits perfectly as a full canopy! $420...yikes!)

Red, I'm not sure. That might be out of my comfort zone. I'm so into blue and green. LOL.

Is the red the European or US version? (ie- two sets of front wheels or one?)

I was not able to find the Mauve one when I bought the red one. If you already have a buyer no big deal. Just figured if she really wanted one that maybe we could work it out.

Jools said she already has a buyer for the Mauve and I can't be with out my Zapp as it is the most portable stroller I have.

It is the Euro version with 3 wheels. Looks just like the one Jools has only in red.
Here are some pic from when I 1st got it.

[joolsplus3]

Oh, that is sweet! (funny how we end up with color schemes in strollers...I have two orange, two black, and two purple right now... about to have a third orange, one black, and one purple... I just can't go with primary colors, it seems!)

[azgirl71]

I really need to consider getiing rid of at least one of mine. I have 4 for 1 child.

[joolsplus3]

Naaaaaah... you know they're only little once, you have to splurge on the gear while you can... (don't listen to me, I'm such an enabler... makes me feel not so bad about my insane amounts of baby gear clogging up the house.. :D)

LOL...I have so many car seat between my own and the ones for donation that GH thinks he lived in a car seat zoo/museum.

[joolsplus3]

Zapp is officially sold! Anyone want the Verve? Price is lowered!!!!

:)

[scatterbunny]

Dh said absolutely YES to the footrest, he's always thought she needed one when I first got the Start and mentioned it was an option. :p Funny, he's starting to sound a little obsessive like me. :whistle:

Tomorrow is payday. I haven't used PayPal in over a year, so hopefully I can remember all our account info.

[joolsplus3]

Oh cool, I hope he likes it LOL!!!! (it's simple solid engineering, that's for sure!)

[Ahzryn]

Dh said absolutely YES to the footrest...

Aww, bummer. Bad for me, good for you! Let me know how you like it, I've just always been so reluctant to spend $80+ for one, and I've never seen one on e-Bay.
