I never had a Mountain Buggy but a lady from the twin club leant me one for Mercedes to sleep in when Sienna had her kidney op and Mercedes had to stay at the hospital with us, and she settled in it really well.]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:28:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=402362&title=mb-carrycot#402362 <![CDATA[MB Carrycot : We loved ours....when he was little...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=402120&title=mb-carrycot#402120 Author: MummyFreckle

We loved ours....when he was little he hated being "put away" in the bedroom for daytime sleeps so I would put him in the carrycot in the sunshine, or on the back deck, it was fantastic! He loved going for walk in in too as he could see me. It was also really handy to take with us when we went out for him to sleep in - which he was still little enough to fit in it sometimes!!!

We used it and loved it. Didn't use it for daynaps at home as we have a cot set up in the lounge. The girls slept so well in it when out and about.
Would have loved it even more if they did a sun cover for it.

We changed over as the girls are getting more inquisitive and also there's nothing like a double MB carrycot charging through a shopping centre to draw attention. Now that they're in the buggy with the sun cover on we're less noticeable.

Plunket did comment on the fact that the girls weren't fastened into it though. Probably more of an issue with 2.

I think you could manage without it but, like Tiff, I loved being able to see them when out walking.]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 09:37:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=401718&title=mb-carrycot#401718 <![CDATA[MB Carrycot : Paws wrote:Just as an aside,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=401676&title=mb-carrycot#401676 Author: Tiff

For the sun I used a muslin cloth (also needed to do this as she's such a nosey wee girl and it shut out the outside stimulation). ]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 08:31:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=401676&title=mb-carrycot#401676 <![CDATA[MB Carrycot : Just as an aside, you can get...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=401651&title=mb-carrycot#401651 Author: Paws

Ok we didnt really go out much everyone kept coming to us so we never really got much of a chance to thrash it. It was good for that purpose i just didnt like that it doesnt have a cover to protect newborn baby from the elements.    I was paranoid Josh's face would get burnt in the sun or that the wind was getting into it. (We are currently in invers so the weather can be one extreme to the next)

Really depends what else you already have cos we had a rocking vibrating bassinette that put josh to sleep so easily and it was so easy to move to the lounge so we only ever had a need when we were out at a restaurant (once).

Like i said depends on your budget and what else you already have as you can get buy with out one. However MB stuff does hold its value pretty well if you do get one and decide to sell it.

Just my opinion and experiences with it. It wasnt a waste of money but it wasnt essential to us either. Everyone else seems to love them.]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:35:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=401526&title=mb-carrycot#401526 <![CDATA[MB Carrycot : loved it wouldn&#039;t be with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=401311&title=mb-carrycot#401311 Author: LJsmum

loved it wouldn't be with out it. Luke slept so well when we were out and about and when we were at people's houses. My sister got a phil and Teds pram and wnated to borrow our MB so she could use the carry cot.!!

You can hire the carry cot too they cost about
180 ish to buy.]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:21:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=401311&title=mb-carrycot#401311 <![CDATA[MB Carrycot : We thrashed our carry cot too!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=400928&title=mb-carrycot#400928 Author: Paws

We thrashed our carry cot too!

Yup we loved our carrycot, definately would rate it as one of our top buys, even though she outgrew it at 2.5 months. But as we used it as a bassinette for the first few weeks it was well used and as the others said great as a portable bed (sometimes we would take just that rather than whole buggy), and when walking I loved having her face me, plus it's so nice and snuggly for them (and they look gorgy!). I managed to get one 2nd hand from a friend for $80 and just bought a new mattress from Mountain Buggy and aired it all out well before use. Although if money hadn't been an issue I would have loved to get a new one as the new style is sooo lovely.]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 09:29:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=400900&title=mb-carrycot#400900 <![CDATA[MB Carrycot : Agree with mazzy here we thrashed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=400859&title=mb-carrycot#400859 Author: peachy

Agree with mazzy here we thrashed our carrycot, it came in very handy for overnight stays, dinners out and as a second bassinet in the lounge!

It was also great for a new born baby that just wouldn't settle at night. Was a great way to rock them off to sleep in those early weeks!

I recommend getting one!]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 08:46:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=400859&title=mb-carrycot#400859 <![CDATA[MB Carrycot : Just to give the opposite opinion,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=400735&title=mb-carrycot#400735 Author: Mazzy

Just to give the opposite opinion, we got one and used it heaps, loved it in fact. It was really useful when we went away while DD was young as we could just take the stroller with the bassinette attachment and use that as a port-a-cot. We used it for about three months and found it really great to be able to see DD while we were using the buggy. I like having the baby facing you while they are so young, rather than having to peer down through the plastic window. Now that DD2 is here we're still using it as a second bassinette in the lounge if I need to put her down for a bit (instead of putting her on the floor) and will be using it for her on the stroller as well.]]> Sun, 01 Jun 2008 20:39:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=400735&title=mb-carrycot#400735 <![CDATA[MB Carrycot : We got one and used it about twice....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=400583&title=mb-carrycot#400583 Author: WRXnKids

We got one and used it about twice. If you dont wanna blow the budget i wouldnt bother with it as the seat reclines far enough and you can use a storm and shade cover over the seat but this doesnt work for the carrycot (well we couldnt get it to work). I found we would go out and on the way home we couldnt shield the sun from Joshs face. We used it most going out to tea/gatherings (on its own as a portacot not attached to base) so we could just lie Josh in it to sleep while we ate etc]]> Sun, 01 Jun 2008 17:22:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=400583&title=mb-carrycot#400583 <![CDATA[MB Carrycot : Have got my MB and am now umming...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=400571&title=mb-carrycot#400571 Author: fire_engine

Have got my MB and am now umming and ahhing about a carrycot for when bubs is little. What are people's experiences with babies just sitting in the (rather reclined) seat - is a carrycot really worth it?]]> Sun, 01 Jun 2008 16:57:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17801&PID=400571&title=mb-carrycot#400571
