After my last look at prams, I looked online for a bit of information and also spoke to a couple of other friends about prams and I’ve decided to go back and get that Mothers’ Choice pram that I like while it’s still on special at Target. I went to a target that is closer to me today but they happened to have sold out (maybe that’s a good sign it’s a good pram?) so I asked them to put one on hold for me at TTP to pick up tomorrow.
While I was talking to her I asked the lady’s advice also on car seats. I’ve been unsure whether to get a car seat or not, since Kaye has offered to lend me her baby capsule for the short time I’ll be here before I go to The Netherlands with Alexander. However I hadn’t figured out how to get around the fact that I’ll need something for on the way to the airport and I’ll also need a carseat immediately upon landing back in Australia, to go straight from the airport. If I borrowed the baby capsule, I would need to organise somehow to return it, then organise my mum or someone to purchase a car seat before I return.
I found out that most of the reversable car seats go from newbie to about 18kg, but I had no idea how old they’d be at 18kg. Apparently this is probably around 3 years or so, or if this baby takes after Alexander with his solid bone structure, that might be at about 2 years, lol. 😉
So while I was at Target, I asked the lady what was the difference between them, like for example there was a cheaper Mothers Choice car seat and also one for $300. She immediately pointed to the $300 one and said “Come back tomorrow cuz that one will be on special for $160, that rarely goes on special”.
Sounds like a deal to me! I’m sold….

Maybe too late to offer advice…..
…….but I found a pushchair/pram that allows the infant car seat to be clipped into it by far the best for safety and conenience. I have a quinny buzz, and purchased the matching carrycot (to make it suitable from birth) and a carseat for short travels out of car.
Having a carseat that could be pushed into pushchair chassey meant that I could go out and about and take OJ out of car without waking him. Its pretty essential though to have a flat base for longer sleeping, which so many strollers dont have.
