If this is ur pram http://www.groovystyle.co.uk/productpages/2005-babystyle/xts-twister-pushchair.php
Then you can search this thread for posts by myfathersdaughter she posted a link to a maxi cosi carseat that was a super bargain at £65ish

Yup that's it

I saw the maxi cosi, but I was thinking of a group 0+1 seat to stay in the car. I don't like the baby car seats that you carry baby about in, my friends little girl stopped breathing in one! Plus, leaving the seat buckled in the car will be easier, it's going to be a tight squeeze with 3 seats in my car! The 0+1 fit backwards for the first 12 months then turn round and are moneysaving too.

What is not moneysaving is my trip to eBay :rotfl: £17 on a blood pressure moniter and £25 on an angelsounds heartrate doppler deely. But anything that makes me feel more relaxed is worth it huh?

Oh gosh, is the angelsounds one any good??? :eek: Have I just bought rubbish?

It's the one I've got - before you use it have a listen here http://www.sweetbeats.net/fetal-doppler-babys-heartbeat.php so you know what you're listening for as it is all very 'swooshy'. But you can't use it till 12 weeks I think and it can be hard to find hte heartbeat cos it only penetrates about 2cm down so if baby turns over you can;t hear it.

I used a doppler yesterday, first I kept finding my own heartbeat but I managed to find a baby (or 2 - or the same one several times), the beat was much faster and the indicator on the thingy went to about 140 beats Was relieved really as the scan was nearly 8 weeks ago :eek:

MaxiCosi gets some of the best safety ratings and I think comes top of the Which polls too which is why we all go on about them so much here
The MaxiCosi has a clip base - one clip thingy - which I have to say is great - you can VERY easily see if it's in properly and the base stays in the car when you take the seat out

I think that so far Roo hasn't had hiccups... am I just extreemly lucky? :rotfl: Oh well... only 24 weeks so plenty of time for her to catch up no doubt

My_Fathers_Daughter

Don't think the baby will be big enough for you to feel at 24 weeks - think I felt it first about 32 or 33 weeks...now I am fed up of feeling it :rotfl:


Funny thing is hubby HATES getting hiccups so we have this image of Bubba effing and blinding about his hiccups and getting himself really worked up!!!

Mine doesn;t have an indicator so I don;t know how fast ours is but it's certainly about double mine.

Definitely! Finding my own heart beat was funny - stronger in different places, I wasn't keen on using a doppler but we got it cheap with a bunch of other stuff from a friend yesterday so it's pretty cool!!
