    Baby stuff

    A mate is coming over for a couple weeks in Sept, with missus and baby,
    He's looking to borrow / rent some baby stuff, cot, walker baby seat, high chair etc. Pattaya area if possible. Would appreciate if anyone can help.

    Just given all my baby stuff away mate.

    Is your mate's wife Thai?

    The reason I ask and from my experience (and with my missus) brought all the kit and it was never used. Complete waste of money as my kids were carried around and slept with her until they were 3 or 4.

    Neither the less I will ask around and see what I can come up with.

    Will PM you with the results.

    Can't really help (not in Patters and using the stuff we already have), but all he really needs is a good baby stroller. Kids can sleep on the floor (make a nest of pillows and blankets) or in a normal bed (which normally means father sleeps on the floor). Most restaurants will have high chairs for feeding.

    Walker baby seat - my kids never used one - In my opinion they need to learn to crawl, then to stand, then to walk - in that order.

    I presume he's on holiday - tell him to chill out and improvise a bit!
    Any error in tact, fact or spelling is purely due to transmissional errors...

    Funny to see you on this thread making that particular comment, WS.

    Past couple of evenings we've strapped our tykes into the Big Red Machine and gone for a bit of a stroll. Probably only used it 6 times in total though since we got it from you.

    Not that there's anything wrong with it mind, it's quite brilliant, just one reason or other haven't up until now.

    Oh, and just so this isn' a complete threadjack: I agree with what WS's said Peter. Improvise!

    How the heck to you cope without it - with twins, I mean. Surely they can't walk that well yet? Or are you carrying them around? I know for sure that without one, my boys would have been confined to home for the first two years of their life.....

    Heck, we used it so much that we wore one out after a year or so and had to buy a new one......

    Yeah, mostly just been carrying them to this point. We've got these removable carseat carry things so it has been jsut as easy to tote them around in those.

    They're growing pretty rapidly though and I did notice my arms almost coming out of the sockets last time I did that so it could be time of the stroller now.

    Have all that stuff mate. Mrs. Kerr has it packed away in storage and we'd been keeping it for my sister who is expecting. Turns out the little cow has gone and bought all new stuff so we are stuck with it. Happy to lend it and could probably find someone to run it down to Pattaya and back if your mate fixes them up for time and fuel. I'll be away a lot in August and September and probably won't get down to Pattaya again before October. Just let us know how we can help.

    No worries PP. This seems to be all thats left.


    ^ Mrs. Kerr just needs to find the nuts and bolts that holds it all together. The mattress can be set at different levels depending on age of kid.


    ^ This is the walker/pram thingo. Is this what your mates looking for? Less the kid of course. Aint one of them off road models but good for Pattaya as very easily folded up for jumping in songtaews etc.


    ^ This can be easily hosed down if things get messy.

    Maybe your mate can check this out to see if it will suit them.

    PERFECT, sent yr number to Graham, he will ring you to arrange pickup. He runs a racing school , so if you would like the ass puckering experience of running around a track on a 180hp superbike I am sure he could accommodate you, second thoughts sky diving may be safer.
