Think about it, I know some of these things are alot of money, but do you really want to put your child in danger for the sake of a few pounds?
but we will be be buying new everything eles
There's no shame in second hand. I have plenty of friends and relatives who could happily afford to buy everything new but don't because they realise there's no harm in second hand for most things.
Personally I would be happy to use a second hand car seat given to me by an immediate relative if i were 100% sure of its history e.g. if my sister gave me hers however I would never trust a second hand one from a stranger or even a work collleague or acquaintence because you just cant be certain.
