WWYD re: Used bugaboo stroller?
A friend of mine offered me her four year old's bugaboo frog. She said she would have it reconditioned for me. I know this is a really generous offer because she also has all the accessories that go with it, and it's such a pricey stroller to begin with. She said she's just been hanging on to it, waiting for a friend to get pregnant so she can give it away. I'm not entirely familiar with the bugaboo, aside from the fact that I know they were waaaay out of my price range!
I have 2 qualms about this, one we wanted a travel system for the convenience of being able to keep the baby in the carrier for the first few months, and be able to just take the carrier out and snap it into the stroller. And two, this friend has already been incredibly generous with all the gifts she brought to my shower on Saturday. I don't want to seem like a mooch!
What are your thoughts?
Re: WWYD re: Used bugaboo stroller?
Your #2, seriously you are not a mooch. People are very happy to give away items, especially if they were expensive and well loved.
i LOVE passing down jordyn's nicer items..and just as well I humbly accept anything that is handed down to Jordyn.
i think i'd be flattered if a friend of mine was offering such a nice gift especially knowing she was waiting to hand it down to a friend!
say yes she's doing it out of love!
you know, if your friend is anything like me, she has a whole lot of really good stuff that either her child grew out of too quickly or never got a chance to use. ?i've got so much great stuff that i've been collecting to give to a friend who's expecting a little girl, and i'm excited to see her get to use it. ?
i doubt anyone thinks you're a mooch by accepting the gifts she's giving you. ?accept them, thank her, and enjoy! ?if you really feel like she's gone above and beyond, you could always write her a nice thank-you card or give her a small gift as a token of your appreciation.?
