    Don't know elle, i'm not in a hurry for one, so i could bargain hunt/save up for one if i found my ideal.

    I like the look of the Cosatto Say Hello ones, but i'm pretty clueless. (edit - oh it looks like the pink version is actually brown and pink, that means my changing bag would match LOL). Guess i'd have to go and try them out, hate doing that though. :(

    I am loving the easiness of clicking the car seat off the base and straight onto the pushchair atm though, but it's bulky.

    Some of the lightweight ones are so ugly though.

    SS, which one is it? :D

    Thanks for all your advice about the cradle cap! Im going to try baby oil tonight, if that fails then we're buying some dentanox :D

    Use olive oil if you have any, baby oil will work but it tends to sit on the skin rather than soak in.
    At baby massage the woman said the same thing. She gave me some organic sunflower oil at the class, which is lovely on her skin.

    It's on the Fairy Exchange, Beenie, with photos :) I wouldn't send the carseat/base cause you've got one though.

    Bought some hungry baby milk today in boots for her last night feed and the woman asked for my boots card, i said no as you cant get points on baby milk and there was no point.
    She told me (quite smugly to) that you could get points as its not actual baby milk, cue a confused me.

    Turns out i was right! Oh how i wanted to say HA in her face, but OH wouldn't let me :( :rotfl:
    lol I'd love to know what she thought it is then! :p

    I tested a Quinny Buzz @ Babies R Us today, just to see what you ladies are talking about ... and I hated it :eek: So heavy and cumbersome.

    Beenie, I've our other pushchair for sale on ebay at the moment, it doesn't fold very small but does the other stuff (except parent facing) - and if it doesn't sell it's yours for the price of the courier.
    *whispers* there has been no talking of the buzz :)

    Beenie I have a cosatto diablo which I like lots, it's almost the same as the say hello one, I found cossatto cust service fab when my dad broke it too (in a way only a stubborn man could possibly break something!)
    but what about the £50 chicco one in the asda baby event - it's a bargain!

    SS if it's the travel system then i already have one, and am wanting something more stroller-ish for the summer, but thanks anyway! :D

    Sami, if the Asda ones are the ones i just saw then i don't want red! Clashes with pink :D I am liking the Cosatto though. My sister had the blue one and i always thought it was nice but the hood looks a bit flimsy. Not that it matters really..

    The luna folds in half and is still quite bulky, i didnt like the way it pushed and i know a lot of people who sold then on as quick as they had bought them. I would look into the umberella style if your looking for something smaller? i have tried a few but not really settled on any lol!
    Have a look on gumtree as i know mine is full of prams!

    How are you all today? i have been helping OH out and im ready for bed lol! Charlie wasnt too good at nursery today, he nipped one member of staff and bit another. that was nothing compared to feeling their bums and putting his hands up their tops! i didnt ask at the time but am thinking if they reacted then he would have thought it was a game? only my son lol!
    Off to make dinner and will try to get back if i dont fall asleep :D

    Scruffy im heading up to Aberdeen tom so will give you a wave on the way past!

    I was once tempted to go back into Boots with the pack of 30 hayfever tablets I'd bought elsewhere for £2 after this woman had laughed in my face when I'd told her I could after finding out they were £7 for seven tablets in Boots.

    But it is still worth using your card for baby milk because if there was a recall then they would be able to contact you. In the US loads of baby milk was recalled (due to compromised storage), in Israel one brand of formula accidentally missed something out and then in China there was that whole melamine thing. Obviously it's unlikely to happen but if it did then you would find out sooner rather than later.
