Patrick's New Buggy


Had a really frustrating few weeks trying to get hold of Patrick's new pushchair. We should have had it by the end of March but were told the manufacturers were holding things up. We then found the buggy had been delivered to the wheelchair clinic two weeks ago but had to be assessed and yesterday we were told that the buggy was no good and they wouldn't let us have it! You can imagine our frustration, especially as Patrick has seriously outgrown his normal pushchair and it's getting harder and harder to take him out.

Anyway, they invited us down to the clinic today to check out a different buggy called a 'Bug' (pictured above). It's not quite as flashy and 'normal' looking as the one he was getting but this new one is actually much better. The whole seat looks much more comfy and supportive and it just looks like a more sophisticated, expensive bit of kit. We're a bit annoyed that we weren't offered this one originally but at least he's getting one now and it should only take 2 weeks to come through. We've been lent an old one in the meantime which is a bit 80's looking and has obviously had a lot of use but it's only for a couple of weeks so we'll put up with that.
