The only things I would buy new are cot matress and car seat because you don't know what might have happened to them, if the people smoked, etc. Everything else would be perfectly fine to get second hand.

Can you go to a friends house on christmas day and be with them? I'm sure it would not be too much to ask.
It sucks that you can't be with your family this Christmas. I'm sorry it worked out this way.

Car seat that can use from birth up to 4 yrs probably cost fair bit isn't it??
I'm not sure I can afford to buy two brand new :eek:

My only best friend going to Hyatt hotel with her family and it cost $120 per person lol I will take a rain check on that one
