mountain buggy owners -- do you have IRL photos (colors)! also, did anyone get the 'shopping wheel' for the Terrain? how is it?

the archive links to member photos don't work anymore! about the shopping wheel, this seems like a good accessory, i read about it here and that alan can get it, but has anyone actually used it? here's the link

online the grape sometimes looks very dark eggplant, sometimes a bold vivid purple; the red sometimes looks orange... i know i'll get advice to get samples but i don't want to wait :) and anyway it's hard for me to project a tiny swatch into full size and how it will read at a distance (which is why i don't paint rooms fun colors).

i'm leaning to the terrain... i like the slightly smaller size and lower weight and i want it for rocky mountain trails and the beach.

I do a whole page LOL ;)

I have grape, spruce, ocean cloud shown although my terrain single which is the ocean cloud is a bit covered up by my cosie rozie...

My red terrain dble isn't up there but she is RED i'm talking fire engine! It's for the rual road i needed it to be a "see me " color.

Grape is an eggplant color....very rich dark purple..very attractive.
Spruce is a rich green but i think forest has now replaced it...
Ocean cloud is a grey/blue.....basically the color of clouds/sky...

Caster wheel, no i don't have a use for one...considered one but i have the single urban so a little pointless

i just found this -- the purple looks much more vibrant here -- is it just that the photo on your site is dark? or are the colors slightly different for terrain & urban? also, is that about right for the red color? good point on the 'see me' color for the woods...

did you ever take your urban(s) in the snow or beach? was it a significant contrast with how the terrain handled those (ahem) terrains?

I just got a grape MBUS from Baby Outfitters which I love! Pamela's pictures are what sold me on the grape (aren't they incredibly helpful).

I got the grape because it was different from the black I usually stick with. To me it is like an eggplant and not too vivid that it screams purple. I think Pamela's pictures are pretty accurate and that if you wanted something dark but different, it would be a great choice.

From a distance it could pass for a "dark" color that is not quite black. If you look at www.mountainbuggy.com and see a woman pushing an urban along the shore I believe that is a grape colored MBUS.

Eitherway both colors are great, but I am a more earth colors person which is why I chose the grape.

Good Luck,
Cheryl :)
