You can definitely get a new one on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2408596 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 12:02:03 +0000 Foodnerd81 2408596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brady80: I take it back- he just emailed me back and said he would refund the money and take both pieces back! Really surprised! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2408592 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 12:00:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2408592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brady80: no he hasn't gotten back to me. I highly doubt he would offer money back. I think it's just a super annoying lesson. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2408517 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 11:33:04 +0000 maybebaby 2408517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: wow thanks! Ours is second hand and they are shipping one free of charge even so. So sorry about yours :( I see them on local FB pages all the time, I'll keep an eye out for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2408477 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 11:11:14 +0000 brady80 2408477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: that's a bummer. After you posted this I looked on Amazon and they have both the rumble seat and board but they are more $ for the older version! </p> <p>Did the guy from Craigslist get back to you? Would he be willing to give you your money back? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2408453 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 10:55:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2408453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: uppababy does not have the part. They only come all together. I don't even really understand why they make it so it can come apart. I'm so annoyed, as much at myself for not checking it earlier as anything. DH is going to try to macguyver something but we'll see. At least the rumble seat works. </p> <p>@maybebaby: the lady on the phone (Maria) said they do have that piece you are missing and can send one free of charge. So just call their customer service number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407487 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 23:26:25 +0000 maybebaby 2407487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So funny, we got this used too and ours is missing the part that flips it up to attach it, but we do have the two pieces that connect it when in use. UB seems so great about parts I hope they'll help you out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407396 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 20:46:08 +0000 loveisstrange 2407396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never dealt with UB, but Baby Jogger was incredibly helpful in replacing parts on my City Mini (they sent me a whole new frame for free!). I bet the manufacturer will be able to help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407393 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 20:37:54 +0000 jill_a55 2407393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I would imagine UppaBaby would have a parts department (or something?) that could replace that for you. maybe just tell them it broke and they'll send you a new piece? :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407360 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 19:39:37 +0000 skipra 2407360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: that's why I was thinking he might be willing to help. I would feel really bad if I did that and would want to attempt to fix it. At least you are close to the factory! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407357 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 19:35:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 2407357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: I don't really know- I've never seen it in person (though I have lots of friends with it so I will look). We will see if he even responds. My best hope is that UB has the piece- and luckily I live close enough to the factory to drive there if need be. </p> <p>I just wish I had tried it right away- I'm sure the guy didn't leave it off on purpose and would have gotten it to me before selling the stroller. Oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407354 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 19:31:14 +0000 skipra 2407354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is the missing piece compatible with anything else? You could always request the seller contact the person that took the stroller. It's a long shot but you never know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407345 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 18:58:16 +0000 Keybee 2407345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That stinks!<br /> I would first try to buy the piece from the manufacture. If they don't have it then I think it's just a life lesson. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407308 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 17:32:35 +0000 hilsy85 2407308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: ahhh ok I thought you just meant the cord that attaches the board to the stroller when you want to put it up. The actual piece attaching the board to the bottom of the stroller...yeah, I dont know about that :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407259 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 14:58:37 +0000 blackbird 2407259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This might be a bit out of left field, but maybe a local company can 3D print you a part that works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407257 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 14:53:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2407257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I assume I could make do without the bottom loop thing, but it's the top piece that attaches the board to the stroller frame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407256 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 14:52:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2407256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: you think? It's missing the pieces I am pointing to in this photo- but I've never used a proper one so maybe it's easier than I think? </p> [attach=2307/16/o0cck8.507x507.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407254 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 14:50:06 +0000 hilsy85 2407254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely bet that uppa baby has that piece for you to purchase! If anything I bet you could rig up something with a bungee cord and a clip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-craigslist-purchase-unusable#post-2407251 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 14:26:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 2407251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought the rumble seat and buggy board for the older UB Vista from someone on Craigslist, back in July when I got nervous that UB would stop making the old versions. Just had the baby two weeks ago and finally tried out the seat and buggy board. The seat is great, but the buggy board is missing the pieces that attach it to the stroller itself. I'm pretty annoyed since I paid more for the two pieces combined than the rumble seat alone retails for, and basically all I have is the rumble seat now. </p> <p>I emailed the guy I bought them from but I doubt he still has the extra parts- I'm guessing they were attached to the stroller still and he sold that separately. And I doubt he will offer me my money back. I'll call UB on Monday to see if I can buy just that piece but I have a feeling I'm just out of luck. Sucks. Any other ideas? </p>
