Go for it. Those cots look great to me. I was given one for my girls n was no where near one of those places for ds, so ended up paying $400 for his on sale.
Both carseats i got from toy world. The first was $180 n did anth the girls. I have now passed it onto a friend of mine for her twins. The one i have now was $220. It has a stabilizing bar. I haven't had coz problems with it yet. Hopefully i won't now he's forward facing.
I think as long as they are the australian standard they should be find. Just make sure the mattress fits snugly & enjoy!
Don't know about the cots sorry as we bought our's from a baby store as a package.
We did however buy our convertible car seat from Target, it's a "Safe N Sound" one as they were recommended to us to be one of the best brands around for car seats. They are a very reliable brand.
Thanks for your replies. I have looked at them both, and they looked ok, I liked the look of the Target one, but just wanted to check and see if anyone had problems. DP is a case of everything is cheap and nasty unless you spend a fortune, so I will go look again today. (he won't be coming... could turn out to be a nightmare!) I think with the carseat I might wait, I am not sure what will and won't fit in my car. Thanks for all your replies
I have a cot from Target. It's called a Chelsea cot & is white. No problems with it at all & it looks great in the nursery.
It is not true that everything that is inexpensive is cheap & nasty. We went bargain basement with everything & it's all been fantastic. We bought everything from stores like Big W, Kmart & Target. Most baby stores will charge way more for identical products either with the same branding or a different brand stamped on them.
Not sure what your plans are for after bubs is born, but personally I thought it was better to have cheaper nursery items which left me with more money in the bank, which in turn allowed me to take 8 months off work without feeling a financial pinch at all. Perhaps you could explain things to hubby that way. Someone I know who bought everything from baby shops & it all cost a fortune was back at work in 3 months even though the plan was 12 months.

We bought our cot from Kmart and our car seat from Target (car seat at boxing day sales last year, cot in April) both are perfect (both are Mothers Choice). I don't think you have to go spending $1000's on a cot (we paid not even $250, and its perfect, sturdy, two base heights, double-locking side [need two hands to open so a child can't really so it themselves]). Our car seat is great too, might not be padded out with expensive sheepskin or have groovy colurs or side speasker and a cup holder () but it meets and surpasses Aust. standards, so I feel Jazz is perfectly safe.
