Buying second hand

[Sunbeam638]

I've bought second hand items and had some great items saving a fortune. The only thing I would def buy new are mattresses xx

Ive bought lots of second hand things including pram and clothes as long as there clean I can't see the problem xx

I was always told never to buy car seats second hand, because you don't know that it will fit in your car safely and you don't know if it's been in an accident. It might be weakened but not necessarily visible.

Good to hear everyones views and nice that there have been no horror stories about buying second hand! I think second hand bargains are the only way we're going to afford having this baby, plus the more money we save the longer i can stay off work with LO. I made the mistake of pricing up prams, nursery furniture etc and nearly had a heart attack lol xx

Personally I wouldn't buy anything secondhand, because you don't know where it's been! (Yet I will for myself, that seems really different to me!)

This is our first though and we will keep all the expensive purchases for any future babies we may have! x
