Websites for cheap baby stuff?

Options
Hi, can anyone recommend any good websites for cheap baby equipment? My sister has given me a lot of stuff including a Mamas & papas car seat with a surefix base but ideally it would be good to have another base in my OH car. But they are £50 from M&P. If anyone can recommend any other websites to check I would appreciate it.

Thanks

    You could try Kiddicare at Peterborough. Have always found them the cheapest and excellent customer service. If you buy through Quidco you get a further discount of 6% I think!!!! There is always ebay...

    Thanks for these suggestions. Have used kiddicare before but unfortunately they don't stock this item. Also I was not sure about buying the base second hand, I know you're not supposed to buy car seats second hand but did not know if this also applied to the base?
  • You might not need another base.

    I interchanged this same car seat between the two cars and to be honest I didn't feel the need for another.

    Personally if I am lucky to have another child, I plan to buy a completely different car seat, that doesn't have the base as they are a bit of a bind.
  • Hi,
    I wouldn't bother with another base- we swapped the one between cars. They are so quick to move I didn't bother getting another. I wouldn't have thought the second hand thing apples to bases - just the seat? I may be wrong though?
    I posted the site https://www.heydiddlediddle.co.uk on the discount board the other day as there was 20% off everything - not sure if there still is, or if they do car seats actually. Nice baby stuff though! Good luck!

    the base didn't work in my car as the stopper thing on the seat bealt meant that it couldn't be pulled tight enough. we have two cars and manage with one seat
    :p It is better to be thought of as an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
