Pam, go to prammie supplies all the information you need is there, Sandra does them.:)

Thanks for that :)have e-mailed sandra as i asked someone else re straps and they seemed loathe to sell me any for some reason.can you tell me where jelly moulds go as the same person also wouldnt tell me:dry:

Don't hesitate to buy Sandra's straps.  They are excellent and she and I have discussed previously, the possibility of  green coloured straps. I am confident she will be able to help you.

As I understand, jelly moulds are the chromed caps at the end of bars that go through the body of a pram.  You will see them clearly at the point where the four corner  leather straps are fastened from the chassis onto the pram.   They are called jelly molulds because they look like minature Victorian jelly moulds.

I am sure others will have a better technical description. Hope this helps?

hi there thanks for that.i know now that i dont need jelly moulds which is just as well as i am spending a lot anyway on this pram!i have also bought some straps now havnt got them yet so thats sorted.still have a way to go til the pram is ready for baby grandsons hope to get oit ready in the next month but the tyres will be expensive.thanks for all help:)

I have my pram straps now but can anyone tell me if they have to fit tightly?To fit thse straps the pram body has to be pulled downwards in order to do the straps up.I have never used straps before so would be grateful of some advice as to if they fit properly,thanks

No  Pam  the  two long  straps    which    are  there  just  to  stop   the  pram  body  from   'bouncing'  up   too high,   should   be  really very   loose.  If  they are  tight (and  especially if  you have  to  pull  the  body  down  towards the  chassis  to    get them fastened)  then you need   longer  ones.      Pushing  the pram   is  very  uncomfortable  if  the straps  are  tight,  there  is  no   bounce at  all  and   it  all  feels  very  hard  and  horrible!   I    would  hate  to think  what  sort  of a ride  a   baby  would have in a pram  with  stabilisers  so  short.   sounds  as  though you  need longer ones.

thanks Sandra I thought as much-am on the case!:D

Pam,  you have   got  your   straps  now  haven't  you?

Sandra

hi yes i sort of have and sorry for not replying but am laid up with a very painful back.using sons laptop to keep up with things but painful to sit lie...anything.:(i got a new set of white straps but the side straps were too short so have sent them back and am paying a bit extra for 2 longer ones to be made.i did say beforehand the side straps would be too short but no matter its done now.having these bad back spasms has held me up no end so wont be getting the straps from the seller yet.but yes am sorted sort of thanks.

Hi all back to square 1 regarding straps.The pram did come with 4 corner straps which look to me to be in good order and i like the buckles on them so i,m wondering if anyone has 2 brown side straps(31") lying about that would fit my pram they would sell me?thanks.:)

Be careful   Pam,  old     straps  can   snap  so  easily  because  they a re  so  brittle  and dry.    I  have  had it  happen   to  me   and  I had  a  new  Grandson in  the  pram  at the  time,  only  about   4  weeks  he  was.     Ask  your husband  to   get  you  some of  the   nylon  tie  things,   in  a  large  s ize  and  put  those  on   along  with   the  old  straps.    You'd  need    two   for  each  strap   I'd   say,      if    you put  those  on  first  and then  the leather  straps  on   top  of  them,  they  would  help  take  the  strain.     I'd  recommend  that  for  anyone  really,    they are   cheap   to   buy  and   so much  better  than  risking your  pram  falling  into  the  chassis  with   all of the damage  that  that  could  bring with it.
