PANICING NOW!!!

My dad went to one of these car safety meetings and won a car seat at the time it was for mac how ever by the time it arrived he was in a high back booster seat so its been stored away ready for no2, guess what its pink absolutley gorgeous!!! but im having a BOY!!!

So I rang graco they cant do anything but they sell replacement covers at £30 for seat cover and anouther £20 for canopy...ouch a new seat comes in cheaper...

Problem is I can use my car seat i had for mac but im selling the pram as a bundle to fund buying double buggy poor bailey would be mistaken for a girl...lol

Does anyone know were I can get a replacemnet cover for Graco car seat cheeper than graco them selves?

Re: PANICING NOW!!!

hey,

you could always sell it on ebay like some have mentioned, at least the money you get you can buy a new one. But really who cares about the colour, he doesnt know what pink is! I just move din my new house and there is a baboes room set up here but guess what, its set up for a girl!! i was going to change it but really he doesnt know what pink is and when he is older he can go in the other room.

I'm inclined to say, so what if its pink? He's sitting in it, not wearing it, and so long as it keeps him safe and comfortable, I really don't think he's going to care. Call it light red instead. lol

Re: PANICING NOW!!!

Does it really matter if it's pink? I'm sure bub won't know the difference, & it's not something you take out for all to see. It's just a car seat, for safety, colour doesn't really matter. But I do understand if you really don't want it pink - as already advised, dye it or try ebay. You could also search other internet shopping sites. If you go onto emailcash.com there are a good list of sites on it to start off with. Good luck!

Re: PANICING NOW!!!

we take it out alot coz we have trollys at supermarket that hold car seat n i dont have to wake bub plus were not getting pram delivered in time so when we do go out bobby will carry car seat, i know what you mean some ppl have them in car all time but even still it has a pink hood lol ahh well just my luck hey when you win a car seat youd think they's be neutral lol

tried ebay but there selling seat not covers, contacted graco they dont do seat wont swap it but i can buy covers i think were gonna have too just hope to get a girl nxt time then ill have brand new pink covers maybe there is a silver linning?

Re: PANICING NOW!!!

Have you thought of dying the canopy and seat cover with a navy blue dye.  There are some really good quality ones out there that stick to just about any fabric, including pvc based products.  Just a thought, might be cheaper than buying replacement covers and canopies.
