D'oh Ali I forgot about the one on the weekend! Yep Brunette the kids markets are great - good recommendation - just get there early as they are always busy here!

And yep the convertible car seats go rearward facing for bub, then forward facing when they are older. Bigger cost to be begin with, but you will get longer use out of them. And remember to wheel and deal when you do go to purchase anything at a baby store, we always took cash for our big items and bargained them down.
