car seat?
 
Hello!

I have a plea to make to all mums out there. I am due with my second child in 8 weeks and only recently found out that I cannot use my newborn car seat I shipped from the UK. I was wondering if anyone out there has one of those "capsule" car seats for sale?

My kids are 7 and 9 now but when they were nippers, the rules were, NEVER buy a second hand car seat or cot mattress - The car seat being that you don't know if it's had any impact in a previous car accident and the mattress for SIDS.

Spend the cash and get a new one.

If you live your life like that, then you will spend alot of unnecessay cash. Just CHECK the car seat hasn't been in an accident, check the mattress is certified safe.

Its great if you've got money falling out of your pockets to say, yeah always buy new, always buy the latest. Most people don't want to needlessly spend money on brand new products if there is perfectly good second hand stuff around. And its good for the environment as well,
