Purchased: Pram, Seat, Bag

posted by Jaitu at 07:53

Sticking resolutely to previous form I've left it too long since my last post and have decided to forget a lot of things I was going to write about.
So here is a quick update to maybe get things rolling again.

I posted a while ago some links to do with car seats. We had decided that we were going to fore go the infant carrier option and head straight for a fixed car seat that would see a child from birth to around 3-4 years. Our plans for this changed when we bought our pram. My wife has had her heart set on a Silver Cross for sometime (truth be told she really wanted an Emmaljunga Mondial but with our Fiat Punto and modest home that would have been an utterly ridiculous choice.)
When we found out that Mothercare had the Silver Cross 3D Pram System on sale the choice was pretty much made for us. As part of the deal the matching infant carrier seat was thrown in for free (saving us £100). Not only that but the pram actually fits in the boot of our car!

The pram came with a small changing bag which is ideal for when we'll go out for a walk or in the car but we really wanted a larger one that can be used to take everything that will be needed in hospital for the birth as well as whenever we visit friends and relatives in the future. We decided on a JuJuBe bag that we got at more than 30% off while at the Baby Show. The one we bought is nice and large and in colours that I don't object to carrying.
