i hope so. i didn't have time to research it.
DW found one on CL for $250, and it was the best price she had found in a long time. this includes the doubles kit. she wanted to hop on it without researching it because she felt it was a bargain.
so we went to see it (and i had no idea what "problem areas" to look for, as this all happened in the matter of a couple of hours). it seems to be well-used (lots of scuffing, dirt, etc)... it's about 3 years old. the woman was *really* nice, and it turns out her two sons went to our DD's preschool a few years ago and that we know some of the same people! anyway, we asked her if she'd go down in price and she said "sure... let's make it $200". DEAL!
now that i have it home, i found a couple of problems that need fixing:
1) fabric for front child's foot rest (above front wheel) is stretched and rubs on the front wheel when the child puts weight on the fabric. this i can fix with a little support system.
2) one hubcap is missing (no big deal).
3) the connector hinges for the doubles kit are missing (these are for attaching it in front-- it doesn't use them when attached in the back, the way we will be using it).
4) it doesn't have the fender recall fix applied. i already filled out the online form for it and it is on its way for free .
i removed all the fabric pieces and mashine washed them-- it looks great now!
does anyone know the customer service phone number for phil & teds? i found the parts list online but the only number i can find is their new zealand HQ number!
thanks! (oh, and did we get a good deal?)
