First Big Purchase

On Tuesday night James and I went to the SAN to book in for having the baby. The lady was very nice and helpful. At the end she gave us a bag which had millions of brochures in it. Being a good girl I looked through the brochures and found a couple which were useful. 

One was that the Steelcraft Agile would have $50 if purchased before the end of Jan - not helpful. But then we looked up the website and they have extended the offer until the 1st of March. That left this weekend to go shopping to see what prams are out there and to look at car seats. 

Our friends Ali and Stu had the Agile and really recommended it. Ali showed me all the different features of it and it is quite easy to use and move around. It is also very light weight which will be good for my back, considering Mum, Grandma and Aunty Sue all have back problems. We really liked the pram, but were unsure about the capsule. I was keen to find a reversible car seat so Bubble will use it for a long time, and my concern was that a capsule would last for 6 months but then we'd have to get another seat until Bubble was 4 and then another one until Bubble was 7. I wasn't very happy to get 3 different car seats. So we spoke with the sales people. They were very friendly. While the capsule is often used until 6 months you can then get a seat that will last the kid until 7 years old. This was good to know. I would ideally like Bubble to be rear facing until 1 year old, but we just weren't liking the other prams, their designs and features. So we agreed with the agile.

We tried putting the capsule and the pram in the car. They both fit well. The pram takes up space in the boot, but that is to be expected and we will still be able to fit some things around it. So yeah. Also, we got the green one - we felt the red one was a little bit too bright. So that was our first big purchase for Bubble and it killed 2 birds with one stone - pram and car seat.
