i have a couple of questions (i have asked these questions on their website but they dont seem to answer!)
firstly do babycity do layby? if so for how long does anyone know if the Milano Capsule Black Swirl fits the Milano 3 Wheel Stroller? i know there is other capsules that do but i REALLY like the black swirl and how often do they change their colours for the Milano 3 Wheel Stroller? they had grey and red now they have have changed to plum and beige but i dont like these colours and am wondering how long i will have to wait for new colours

1. Babycity do laybys, and its done on price as to how long you get to pay it off.
I got a milano quadtech stroller/capsule pram (I think thats what its called!!) it was 300 and I just had to pay a 10% deposit and then I had 6 weeks to pay it off, I think it's anything over 600 is 12 weeks... You can also ring and ask to check! 2. When I got my pram I didn't know the capsule came with it, the lady said all the capsules fit the prams and the capsule bases (coz I was going to buy another capsule until I realised!) So yes it should fit. 3. Not sure how often they change... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

can't help with laybuy, but yes all capsules should fit all prams in the milano brand.
You can still get the red and grey styles, it just depends what sort of stroller you're going for. We got our grey one 2 years ago and they're still selling it. |

yep they do laybuys, we put a pram, capsule and baby monitor on laybuy and they just asked when we wanted to pay it off by, i said baby is due in Mid Feb so she made the final payment date the 6th feb, i think that made it 13 weeks.
i think all milano capsules fit all milano strollers, my one is a 4 wheeler but i have givin my cousin the stroller to use in the mean time and it fits her 3 wheeler. -------------  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I think I am going to go with a milano even though I really like P&T's- just can't justify spending that much money; the difference is huge. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| Just check first that it will fit in your car. We were going to get a Milano but it wouldn't even fit in our boot. They are rather bulky. |

I have a second hand P&T but i want a milano to start with coz the capsule clicks into the stoller and the base- ill be a first time mum so want to make it easy!
good point about checking it will fit. when i buy it (not even UTD yet!) i plan to play with it BEFORE i buy |

H there are capsules that fit the P&T so perhaps look into that too. Might save yourself a bit of money and from personal experience when it comes to prams you get what you pay for! -------------

Yes do try it in your car first. The fold is very very big. ------------- DD 12 DS 9.5 DD 6 DS 4 DD 23 months and here comes number 6 http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  |

Thanks for the headsup! Anything will fit in DH car, but my car is smaller, so should try that first. I know I have trouble with the pedigree buggy, do you know how the milano compares to that?
melnel, what stroller etc did you get for Jake? ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

LA I started with a steelcraft strider 3.. its a lovely pram but you get what you pay for.
Its rickety and bulky (doesnt fit down narrow aisles) hard to collapse and really a PITA. I recently upgraded to a P&T Dash and I LOVE it. They are a great pram and well worth the extra money IMHO. The fold nice and flat too so would be surprised if they didnt fit in most cars.... -------------

The dash is what I want too. I found it at a reasonable price too, not as bad as I thought they'd be- did you get it in grey/red/grafitti? What capsule/car seat did you get? Did you get everything brand new? ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Re: Milano Apollo stroller.... I really like the look of this as it has all the features I want (can be rear facing, tilts AND reclines, can have bassinett attachment, can have capsule attachment, easy to use and not too big) and it's about HALF the price of the P and T's When we looked at it in Baby City last week, she said they had just come off special. Does anyone know what it was on special for?? She said "less than $300" for the stroller (usually $449), but I don't know if I believe her cos that sounds pretty good to me? Anyone know?? Also, anyone have this system / a capsule-click-in system? Opinions? TIA!! :oD ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

We had the Milano 3 wheeler in the gray and black with matching capsule and the base as well. I hated the stroller. After about 5 months we got a small umbrella stroller and just used the 3 wheeler for walks and at the beach. We sole the 3 wheeler and bought a P & T dash about a year after the umbrella stroller and I love it. The dash is longer folded up than the milano was. I see heaps of the milano ones around so they are really popular. ------------- Sarah Mum to, Boy 07/2008, Girl 03/2010, Boy 05/2012, Angel  07/08/2014

We got our milano on special for 299 or maybe it was 399. Anyway. Get the base for the capsule cause my seatbelts were not long enough to go around it and hold it in. I think its a jap car thing. My freind had her seatbelts lengthened to fit a capsule, EXCPENSIVE. rather than paying $60 for the base. Heaps on TM by the way. ------------- Sarah Mum to, Boy 07/2008, Girl 03/2010, Boy 05/2012, Angel 07/08/2014

I'm pretty sure it was going for about $350. I got the Milano Tech Rider Travel System for $300 and it's usually $330. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

lostamber, Nope capsule doesn't fit. Theres only a fe capsules that are compatible with p&t's prams. If you go into babycity or anywhere else that sells p & t's they have a free booklet with all there products in it (I have 3). ------------- Sarah Mum to, Boy 07/2008, Girl 03/2010, Boy 05/2012, Angel 07/08/2014

Hey ladies,
I'm looking at buying the Milano Apollo 3 wheeler; plus capsule. Can anyone tell me the pro's and cons? It's a battle between me and babies father; as he is paying. But it's so hard to fight for something I don't know too much about!! All I know is that it's light; serves the same purpose as snap n go wheels, fits in my boot... etc Thanks :) Suzi |

I started with a milano 3 wheeler and the biggest annoyance was the bulk. I used the capsue with the pram alot with Jake but not at all with Tyler.
It was easy to steer but the second major annoyance was that it was not easy to fold down AT ALL and drove DP nuts whenever he had to do it. Cost $299 on special in 2007 inc capsule. I upgraded and got a secondhand 2007 P&T e3 in great condition off TM for $150 with doubles kit, sunshade, raincover and a few other bits and pieces and its great. Better long-term investment I reckon coz its so versatile. -------------
