Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 LoL! n! Lol.lol. Do you mean like an old fasion buggie? Like the carriage stroller? We picked one up about a yr ago at a yard sale for 20 bucks! Got it for my sis but she did not appreciate it or like it. Shes the young generation. Hehe. Anyway, the lady had it stored for like 30 yrs and her parents had pushed her around in it when she was a baby. Reminds me of Rosemarys baby. Its very nice and made in Italy. Couldnt find any prices out YET but emailed a lady selling a similiar type on ebay but hers was made here. They are so neat! Kinda bigger then the newer strollers but definetly 1 of a kind. No way we would fold up our children in this.hehe. hugz,cassy Re: One more In Honor of Dopey People/ folding children We never used strollers with our kids: perambulators (buggies) or back carriers.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yes, I meant the truly old-fashioned buggies then called "perambulators." Higher up than a grocery cart--above the waist of the adult pushing said stalwart vehicle. The big advantage to them was that they were little beds and baby could just fall asleep and actually nap in the buggie. And so far as safety goes, no chance of some impaired driver not seeing that tiny little stroller way down on the ground, and hitting the baby! I have seen these, usually manufactured in Europe at Saks Fifth Avenue Stores, Marshall- Field in Chicago, Macy's and even Nordstrom's department stores. Sorry, I just could not resist the line about not having "folded" the children--honest, I really did know what was intended! Love to you all, n, tittering just a bit, but still traumatized by those strollers being pushed ahead of the taller adult, and those little kids way down almost on the pavement.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 LoL n! Your funny! The one we have the base part comes off and looks like a lil boat. My baby neice has actually slept in just the boat(carriage) part before. When she was smaller and her and my sister would sleep over. She was so tiny everyone was worried they would roll on her and crush her but there was no way of rolling over this big ol piece of plastic. Or her rolling off. It takes up so much room but I like it so much I cannot part. For a time,almost though.lol. I seen alot on ebay,not as good of condition either for 300$ at the cheapest. There is no way a car would miss this buggy. It is almost the size of a small sport car.lol. At least the size of my scooter,maybe a lil bigger. Maybe thats how everyone stayed in shape.hehe. It is incredibly hard to maneuver(so big) and im thinking it took lots of muscles for mothers to push there lil ones in it. Some of the stroller carts are scary.I remember 1 time we were shopping and 1 of my daughters were in one.She had a little hissy fit and used her Re: One more In Honor of Dopey People/ folding children Yes, I meant the truly old-fashioned buggies then called " perambulators.

So,once we were shopping and my daughter was having a hissy fit and used her feet as a break to slow down the stroller,well,it didnt just slow down.It jerked forward then back into me and back onto her feet.Ouch! Yes.she did try it again.lol. She may as well have been pushing herself on the ground. Lol. I have dont the accidental fold before too though. All on accident of course! But sometimes a lil funny,as long as noone is hurt so titer titer away.I sure could use some of your happy spirit over here.Maybe this summer we can finally meet!I saw a lady at walmart today.She reminded me of you.I know I have never met you but from your pic and I heard her talking and I was thinking awww.she reminds me of n,was tempted to ask.~ww~But you wouldnt travel to Sacramento and not tell me right!? talk to you later.sweet dreams. hugz,cassy Re: One more In Honor of Dopey People/ folding children Yes, I meant the truly old-fashioned buggies then called " perambulators.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Plastic? I have seen those British perambulators (aka "buggies") at Saks Fifth Avenue in San Fran cisco. No platic: stainless steel, real leather, cot ton filled mattress, more like a baby version of a limousine, only taller and higher. Complete with light and horn--yet! My own mother actually had one of these (1937) in Grosse Pointe, MI. When I first saw little kids in strollers, I thought that all the kids were handicapped in some way and that these were some kind of miniature little "wheel chairs" for them. Of course, this illusion was furthered by the fact that all four of my own kids walked at nine months and ran by ten months. Me? Hey! I was premature; I walked at 16 months.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 You mean something like this:http://www.emmaljunga.com/or this:http://www.sleepyhollowcanada.com/manufacturers/brio/brioduo.htmlIn Sweden that's the way strollers/prams look. In other words, to me those are not "big" or "tall" - it's the other kind(s) that are "tiny". It really depends on the perspective... Those "tiny" ones with the really small wheels is something you can see tourists use in Sweden, but never anyone actually living here. Most swedes refers to the "tiny" models as "continental" - conveying the thought that they may work in continental Europe, or at least southern parts of continental Europe, where snow and sleet is not an issue. The big wheels and high strollers/prams are necessary to be able to manage/steer a stroller in the Swedish winters (and to avoid having the infant or child covered in snow when passing through/over drifts of it...).Thanks for insights into other ways of seeing things!love/Reb> > From: Smyelin groovy & lt;smyelingroovy@ yahoo.com & gt;> Subject: In Honor of Dopey People> To: "MSersLife" & lt;MSersLife@ yahoogrou ps.com & gt;> Date: Tuesday, June 3, 2008, 3:24 PM> > Hmm... my favorite, and the most disconcerting, is the last.> > ~~> > In Honour of Dopey People . . .> > Here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.> > On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) --> "Do not turn upside down."> > ============ ========= =====> > On Sainsbury's peanuts --> "Warning: contains nuts."> > ============ ========= ======> > On Boot's Children Cough Medicine --> "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking> this medication."> (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we> could just get those 5> year-olds with head-colds off those bulldozers.)> > ============ ========= =====> > On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding --> "Product will be hot after heating."> > ============ ========= ==> > On a Sears hairdryer --> Do not use while sleeping.> > ============ ========= ========= ======> > On a bag of Fritos --> You could be a winner!

And if by some chance I get better I want to have a baby,a boy. And he will have a buggy and a moses basket. i love unique or one of a kind anything! Even if theres a million in factory.hehe. luv n hugz, cassy Re: One more In Honor of Dopey People/ folding children Plastic? I have seen those British perambulators (aka " buggies " ) at Saks Fifth Avenue in San Fran cisco. No platic: stainless steel, real leather, cot ton filled mattress, more like a baby version of a limousine, only taller and higher. Complete with light and horn--yet! My own mother actually had one of these (1937) in Grosse Pointe, MI. When I first saw little kids in strollers, I thought that all the kids were handicapped in some way and that these were some kind of miniature little " wheel chairs " for them. Of course, this illusion was furthered by the fact that all four of my own kids walked at nine months and ran by ten months. Me? Hey! I waspremature; I walked at 16 months. Heaps of family photos of me in my " buggy. " n, who is obviously up way too late, getting a little strange. . . .
