ah right, thats a shame that yours can't be used at all without a base!! I am going to order a base as the car seat will probably not be used out of the car but it is a pain that you cannot just jump in a car when you have your lo in the car seat!
Best Buys
Moses basket - Jude loved it and slept so well in it (once he finally got to sleep!)
Milk powder dispensers- use them out and about and at home to save scooping out formula for each feed( if you feed formula )
Leapfrog Learn & Groove activity station- total lifesaver once Jude was able to hold his own head up. Still loves it now!
Cellular blankets- good for swaddling and just covering, less chance of baby overheating
Angelcare monitor- only just bought this but already been worth the money
Video monitor- great for putting mind at rest when babe is upstairs
Worst Buys
Too many newborn clothes- take back what you think you won't use to the shops, they will let you exchange or pick something else in a larger size
Top & tail bowl- never used it!
Bumbo seat- Jude hated it and within a wek was trying to flip himself out of it backwards!!
Hope this helps xx

Another Thing I Wish I Hadn't Have Bought Was A Graco Swinging Chair
Even On It's Lowest Setting It Was Quite Violent And He Hated It!

BEST
Without a doubt my changing unit. I know a lot of people don't think they are a good idea, but I wouldn't be without mine. Don't know if its because I live in a bungalow, so its just as easy for me to go to his room, but I use it for everything. best £25 ebay bargin ever!
Electric swing chair, well worth the £50
WORST
Nappy wrapper, bath, bath box, top to tail wash bowl. Front baby carrier,
