Re the offer of the seat, would rather give folk on here first dibs as I "know" them and know it would be used well... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17878#post-254065 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 18:28:45 +0000 HankChief 254065@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's a lovely way to express the life of a childseat. </p> <p>Do you mind if I share it on other Social Media? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17878#post-254064 Thu, 29 Jun 2017 18:13:14 +0000 paddyirish 254064@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My Hamax child seat had its last ride (on my bike) this afternoon. In 8 years it has </p> <p>served 2 children's nursery careers,<br /> outlasted 1 suspension base and 1 bike,<br /> survived one crash (thankfully no passengers on board),<br /> partaken in ~1000 drop-offs to nursery and ~500 pick-ups,<br /> been on dozens of family rides,<br /> absorbed a small mountain of bagel crumbs,<br /> been puked on twice and weed on once,<br /> listened to the gentle snores of its passengers on many trips out,<br /> stoically ignored some spectacular tantrums,<br /> but had the pleasure of listening to hundreds of cheerful songs,<br /> pondered lots of awkward questions (the most recent ones about death) and<br /> witnessed 2 successful (and lots of attempted) debaggings of the pilot</p> <p>It was bought with some birthday money from my parents and was quite simply the best ~£60-70 I have ever spent.</p> <p>It is available from mid July to a good home. Can't guarantee it will last another 8 years but hope it can give someone else the pleasure it gave us... </p>
