Mountain Buggy Swift with car capsule and base, carrycot and parent-facing seat
Mountain Buggy Swift pram, bassinet and capsule bundle. We ended up swapping to a pram that could convert to a double haha!
Mountain Buggy Swift frame in silver (light grey). Purchased new and used for less than 6 months so in fantastic condition! Well cared for and kept clean and dry. Main seat never used. (RRP $769)
Phil & Teds capsule with universal car seat base and capsule clips for it to clip to the Mountain Buggy Swift frame. Again used for less than 6 months, hasn’t been in an accident and handled with care. Got this capsule rather than the Mountain Buggy one as the two brands are interchangeable but I liked the fabrics on this capsule more. Inner has been washed, seat has been spot cleaned and has some minor fabric brushing (pictured) but no major spills/accidents, and newborn wedge in excellent condition. (RRP $269 capsule, $219 base, $59.99 adapters)
Mountain buggy travel cot/parent facing seat in black with attachment clips. Cot has been used a handful of times max and seat unused. (RRP $329)
All instruction manuals also included.
Comes from a smoke/vape free home
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Kapiti Coast Distilled: A Family and Friends' Foraged Gin
In an exciting development for local spirits enthusiasts, Elsewhere Gin has released a limited edition Kapiti expression that truly captures the essence of our coastal region.
This unique gin, priced at $95 per bottle, is the result of a heartwarming collaboration between Elsewhere Gin and Mark Rose's parents and their friends in Kapiti who embarked on a community foraging adventure, handpicking an array of native botanicals including kohekohe, kauri tips, strawberry guava, horopito, and kawakawa. These locally sourced ingredients were combined with classic gin botanicals, lemon, and rosemary to create a spirit that is both familiar and distinctly Kapiti.
The gin offers a sensory journey through our coastal landscape. It opens with subtle vanilla notes from the kohekohe, followed by the sweetness of strawberry guava. The addition of horopito lends a peppery kick, while kawakawa adds a unique herbal complexity. The finish showcases the zesty lemon and aromatic rosemary that grow abundantly in our region.
"This gin is a love letter to Kapiti," says Rose. "It's not just my creation, but a true community effort. Every sip tells a story of our unique ecosystem, our shared knowledge, and the incredible flavors we have right here in our backyard."
With only a small batch produced, this Kapiti gin is expected to sell out quickly. It's more than just a drink; it's a bottled experience of our local terroir and community spirit, perfect for those who appreciate the finer aspects of craft spirits and the beauty of our coastal home.
Available exclusively through Elsewhere Gin, please contact Michael Anderson for this limited edition gin that offers a rare opportunity to taste the Kapiti coast - and its community - in a glass.
