Have a WeeRide classic seat and a mounting bar for sale. Used for two kids. Has minor surface rust on the bar. Arguably the best child seat, my kids loved it, but too big for it now.
These sell for $80+ on trademe. Come and have a look if interested.

Jefferson Chapple of Flagship Life Skills presents Conscious Connected Breathing.
Venue; Community Hall, 2 Alnwick St (next door to Town Hall), Warkworth.
Open at 6.45pm for a 7pm start. $5 contribution at the door – Harmony Circle is non-profit.
Since 1982 I have been training people in six distinct self-management skills.
I will introduce you to, arguably, the most important skill of all, proper natural BREATHING, known as Conscious Connected Breathing.
Most people have unconscious modifications in their breathing patterns, which means that one of their most basic life pulses will be running at less than optimal.
The effects on their health and well-being have to be significant.
You will be shown the simple characteristics of disturbed and natural breathing patterns, and we will do a little bit of practice.
My intention is you will have enough information to decide whether CCB training will be part of your remaining journey.
One-off trial breathing sessions are not a good idea, so attendees will be in a draw for a complimentary obstacle-removal session of an hour or less.
I will explain what is involved to that lucky person on the night.
To chat to Jefferson about all that he offers contact him on 027 525 0035

When you’re homeless, sleeping under the New Zealand flag might just be a final defense. That’s what Six reckons.

Six doesn’t live on the streets any more but she hasn’t forgotten how if feels to fall. To find yourself without a roof, no corner of the world to call your own. She wanted to make sure other people understood what it’s like so she started a community paper about homelessness from the inside.
In The K’Rd Chronicles, we take to the streets of inner city Auckland and meet the people from Six’s world. Join Stuff over the next 8 weeks, as winter sets in, to learn about their struggle to change their lives … and to stay alive.
