New 2010 Phil and Teds Explorer – Peppermint London

July 20th, 2010

Peppermint has just received more details of the new 2010 Phil and Teds Explorer buggy, this is the replacement for the current Phil and Teds Sport and will be available sometime in August 2010.

Phil and Teds been busy and it seems like the new Explorer will be the next must have Phil and Teds buggy.  The Phil and Teds Explorer has an all new chassis which now has a one handed folding mechanism, a feature we have seen in some single buggies but it has now come to the Phil and Teds range, a vastly improved peddle style brake system which is easy to operate.  The Explorer now also shares a Vibe style follow me sun hood, this sun hood is completely adjustable and features a pop out sun visor making it much easier to shade your baby or toddler.

If you are using the Explorer as a double the new Explorer double kit will also now come supplied with a sun visor for the child in the back seat but does loose the ability to recline.  Reclining however on the main front seat has been vastly improved upon the Sport, the Explorer now features a Dash style variable recliner a great improvement on the sport’s system.

Another major change to the Phil and Teds Explorer is the ability to mount a car seat on the front of the buggy and still carry a toddler in the back, not something which was recommended in the Sport, Dash or Vibe.  This has been made possible by shifting weight distribution around so the buggy will now not tip is you have the larger child in the back seat  with a car seat on the front.  This feature will mean the Phil and Teds Explorer is a true travel system for a baby/toddler combo.

Now to the all important colours, the Explorer will be available in 5 colours, black and red, Black and Grey, Navy and Grey, Black and Green and all Green.  Once we have some images later on this afternoon they will be posted on our blog.  All the staff at Peppermint think that the Explorer will be the best Phil and Teds buggy in the range so demand will be high.  If your looking to purchase a Phil and Teds buggy soon give us a call and place your pre-order for the New Phil and Teds Explorer, i don’t think you will be disappointed.

New Quinny Zapp Xtra – Peppermint London

July 18th, 2010

Quinny have now launched images of the new Quinny Zapp, named the Quinny Zapp Xtra this will use the same small chassis as the current Quinny Zapp but now features a fully reclining main seat unit which is also able to face the parent for the best possible interaction.  The new Quinny Zapp Xtra will be available in the summer however no retail price has been issued yet.

Quinny Zapp Xtra reclined

The Current Quinny Zapp is one of the few strollers which will fit in over head lockers on aircraft and folds small enough to fit in the front of a Porsche 911.  Im not sure if the new Zapp will be as small when folded as the main seat now seems to have some structure and cannot be compressed.  As soon as we get one we will let you know.

Now the good news, for all your current Quinny Zapp owners Quinny will be making the seat unit for the Xtra available as a part, this means you will be able to convert your normal Zapp into a Zapp Xtra and have all the benefit’s of reclining and facing your baby/toddler.

The Zapp Xtra will be online soon and Peppermint will be taking pre-orders as we believe demand will be strong.  For more information contact our customer services on 0203 393 3101 or email customerservice@peppermint.co.uk

Boori Sleigh 2010

July 17th, 2010

Boori’s best selling cot bed since they started up in Queensland, Australia in 1993 has been the Boori Sleigh. This year, they have decided to update their beloved Sleigh with a new version for 2010. The changes are immediately apparent. The new Sleigh 2010 does not have solid sides and looks alot more modern compared to it’s wonderfully elegant predecessor. It doesn’t come with a storage drawer as standard (this will be a seperate purchase) and it doesn’t look as grandiose but it’s features really make it stand out from the crowd.

Not only is it a beautiful cot bed for your newborn baby, it then turns into a toddler bed and then finally into a sofa. A great way to make the most out of your Nursery furniture for years to come.
