This is a great bargain from Mamas and Papas on a 2nd/3rd stage car seat.

Car seats is one of the things that I feel are a necessity to buy from new, unless you know the person who is offering it to you and the complete truthful history.

The Pro-Gro, has 7 posible head and backrest positions, wide wings for extra protection, easy seat recline so that you do not disturb your child when adjusting and washable seat covers.

Was £110, now £55.

If you own a Phil & Ted’s inline pushchair or are planning to and will have two kids in it, you’ll need one of their double kits which is an additional seat that enables the pushchair to carry two toddlers or a toddler and a newborn (you’ll need to buy a cocoon separately for the baby).

Oliver’s Babycare are selling them for £45.95 which is about £20 off the RRP.

You can use the sling from premature babies, all the way through to the toddler stage.

This weeks competition prizes are two BonneBonnet Canopies that retail for approximately £60 each.

BonneBonnet’s is a New York based company founded by two mumpreneurs seeking to bring style to the cradle. They manufacture stroller accessories that are unique, luxurious and, most of all, functional. Their flagship product is the BonneBonnet canopy, a custom made replacement canopy for the Bugaboo strollers.

The team from BonneBonnet received a great response from delighted Mums and Dads who wanted to add a little bit of luxury and discerning taste to the “oh-so-boring” world of strollers. Within a few months BonneBonnets was a hit and on several must-have baby lists.

To win one of these canopies all you have to do is tell us, which stroller are these canopies specifically made to fit on?
