on SBC website a full nexus 7 build is £2460 thats already £460 more than the voucher, I won't have any money for canopy for a month :( this whole 'pay day' thing is tiresome.
This would be infinite money option: https://www.r-m.de/en-gb/models/packster-40/

The canopy does require the honeycomb board AND the folding child seat (so they say), which would total £3340 for the Nexus model.
I took the canopy apart last week to clean and service everything, which also requires removal of the seat. I reckon you could just get the canopy without the seat, but would need to get creative to mount the canopy on the back -end of the cargo area. But if you're not getting the seat, you would run into problems to strap in a toddler seat when child is old enough.
The canopy fabric and construction itself is kind of crappy and questionable at £450, it also prohibits the transport of larger things. But the tubing is nice and acts more like a roll-cage, it's also nice the have something to protect child from the elements. So the expense is kind of justified.
We went for the all-in option for the ease of use, LBS service and insurance reasons. Once the insurance becomes obsolete and would not require LBS service, I'll get creative with a custom box. Which would also suit an older child a bit more.
isn't the buillitt frame £1750 on its own, also I didn't realise that you could add money to the C2w voucher.
I'v seen a few really good hacks using a maxi cosi car seats and ratchet straps to replace the car seat belt.
