moses baskets ?

[coz]

hiya, i know someone who is selling a moses basket with the stand for 30 pounds and was going to buy it as it sounded so cheap but a couple of people have told me you can get them brand new for 30 pound with the stand, i went round town earlier but all the ones i saw was more than 30 without the stand , anyone else know if you can get them this cheap with the stand ? xxx

Hi there,argos and mothercare prices are around 30 plus 15 for the stand.

you could always get a first hand basket then a 2nd hand stand as they recommend not to use 2nds matresses or something. but i suppose if you know the friend well you know how it has been kept etc.
Think im going to go straight for a swinging crib for the bedroom as will last longer and the pram i am hoping to get comes with a soft carrycot which i can use in the house too.

Even though you could get a new one for the same price, the used one may be better quality...You could always go check it out and then decide.

I agree, it is better to buy new, perhaps the one your friend is selling was pricey hence the charge of £30. Some like Mamas & Papas are around £75-£100.

I'd say get a new one aswell, but it depends how well you know the person getting rid of it, you can always get the basket new and a second hand stand

Or if you really like the one she is selling, buy it, then buy a new mattress..

They say you should never use a second hand mattress.. The mattress will cost roughly £10 - £20..

I saw one i n argos for about £45 including the stand and it looked nice. Ive never seen one as cheap as £30 though. If you're going have have to spend an extra £20 on a new matress though you may as well get a new one.
