Pushchair and car seat buying help :(


We're looking at buying a car seat and puschair in the next month or so as we've got a bit of money now, and itll probably have gone in a few weeks time.

Im totally confused about this pram buying business! Im just looking for some recommendations really.

Buggy/Pram
We don't drive, so we need something that'll fold easily, be small and be light for getting on buses and that.

I would ideally like a flat lying pram that faces me, but then folds out to be an away facing pushchair when the baby is a bit older, if that makes sense, so that we don't have to buy another one in 9 months time when the baby has outgrown it.

Car set
Ideally a carryable one, but thats not essential

I would love a flat lying one, as we do a lot of travelling between Leeds, London and Newcastle and its a pain to keep stopping every two hours. Ive also hear that if you leave a baby sitting up in a car seat you can damage its back? Dont know how true that is.

Maybe one that can be used a little past a year, so that we dont have to go and buy a new one in 9 months time, again.

Any suggestions? We haven't got an awful amount of money, so theyll have to be budget ones as well. I havent got a clue about second hand or anything either otherwise I might consider that.

Thanks in advance if anyones got any suggestions

I found ebay had some good offer if your limited in money n fancied a great deal. The proper ebay stores I mean. I'll give you some links

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Alice-Kiddi...QQftidZ2QQtZkm

Or just go to ebay stores and search prams in the items. the biggest part of them are brand new in box so u dont need to worry.

We have the Silvercross 3D which is a great pram, it lasts throughout birth and up to the age of around 4, its abit expensive but easy to set up and to push etc, also voted pram of the year by mother and baby magazine.
