Lis, we had a tetra snuggle bed with DD. DH knew someone who was getting rid of theirs, so picked it up for us, I had no idea what they were at the time. It was fantastic, DD was a summer baby, so we usually just laid her on it with a singlet on. When we moved her from bassinette to cot, we put the snuggle bed in the cot for a few days until she became familiar with her new surroundings. Was helpful when we went to my parents as well, just threw it on the floor or in her portacot. I got rid of it, but it is on DH's "Must buy" list! Gosh, my DH sounds like he is addicted to babyshopping... Hope your DH gets the seat sorted out for you.
