    For a new born I think you need something with a matress as their little soft bones needs supporting- just my opinion. When I was looking for a pram for DD I was talking to a shop assistant and she was telling me that the travel systems the carseat part you shouldn't keep a newborn in for more than 2 hours because of their little bones. There is nothing wrong with getting a scond hand pram at all just check it over well as I'm sure you will. I spent my baby budget for all 3 of mine on prams, nappies and some white clothes. My aunt knitted and I had 1 cot for the three of them, ditto the swinging cradle. I'm so glad my aunt talked me out of buying lots of clothes (I started out with 10 white baby grows, 10 vests and bibs) as I was given so much it would have been a waste. I'm very jellous of you I loved picking out baby things!


    actually they are only supposed to be in a car seat for 45 minutes!!
