    The microwave sterilisers are good if you intend to breastfeed or don't have much space. I've got an electric one as I know I'll be bottle feeding and I prefer them for constant use. I think a lot of us on here have the Tommee Tippee big set which has the steriliser, a few bottles, brush, insulated bag, dummy, powder dispensers. I can't remember exactly what's in it, but I think that's about it. It's a good deal if you buy it on offer.

    How typical KatyLiz that they don't have the nicer ones in stock any more :( I hope you manage to find something. We've just bought a new car that we get at the end of the month and I wanted to get a fixed car seat instead of just using the one with my pram, had it bookmarked for ages, gone to order it today and it's OOS :( Went to order my cross stitch and that was OOS too, found an alternative seller, paid £4.88 postage, got my delivery estimate through - 1st October lol.

    Rups - I liked the caboodle one in pictures, but didn't like it in person. It was nowhere near as big as I thought it'd be. We have the big Kiddicare store near us, so I checked some of them out. If you don't need a big bag and you like it shop around, as I saw it elsewhere for £29.99. That was a few weeks ago, but you might still be able to get it cheaper.

    ikkle - that's rubbish delivery for the cross stitch. That was a bargain as well, I think I paid nearer 20 when I got the one I did, so you had a good deal there. What car are you getting? Is there anywhere else that does the seat you want?

    bottle warmer and single bottle microwave steriliser. The bottles are in two sizes and theres 2 different types of teats included too.

    We have the set too, can't have a microwave steriliser as they don't fit in our microwave x

    thanks katyliz. it helps that you have seen the size. i do want a big one because dnt want to end up carrying two bags like i always do lol. everything in one so a nice size. so will give this a miss. maybe better to go into a store or something and get one. hmmmm

    Ikkle my cousin was saying she bought a maxicosi seat and it goes with everything and went in her car. we need to buy a car too and i hope when hubby gets back now he starts doing these things... Ohh my driving test is about 10 days away!! eeek!!!!

    hmm that would be weird deciding what steriliser set to get because what if you know you want to breast feed and end up not doing it? we need to get one as well though.

    52 plate Vauxhall Zafira, my OH's first grown up none chavved up car lmao. I will just make do with the one that came with the pram for a while and then when he's a bit bigger buy a fixed one. Prob be easier to start with anyhow.

    It would still be ok to use a microwave steriliser even if you don't breastfeed, lots of people do. Some people just prefer the electric ones or have dodgy size microwaves that don't accommodate sterilisers.
