They used to have an awesome catalogue! Seemed like it included everything in the shop, lol. Even before we were trying I loved looking at that catalogue, which I guess helps because I have a good idea of what I want now

If you buy furniture or prams second hand ensure that they comply with the appropriate Australian Standards. Avoid second hand car seats or capsules unless you are buying/borrowing from someone you know and are certain it has NEVER been involved in an accident (even a minor one).

Have fun, I love baby shopping!

ETA Sids and Kids now recommend that you do not use second hand mattresses in cots or cradles.

Agreed. Except for the red brakes on prams Standard. Brakes don't need to be red to be safe. They need to be used.

Guess it depends on how important labels re to you and how much money you have to spend hun.
Baby shopping is supposed to be fun, so enjoy it.
