I don't mind second hand. i agree about the carseat, though. All other things are fine. As long as you wash everything first, I think it's fine!

IMO hand me downs are the way to go. It kills me that people spent so much money on stuff for my <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=22&k=baby%20shower" onmouseover="window.status='baby shower'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">baby shower</a>. That's why I gave my things to people who could use them. I hated the idea of wasting them.
Think about <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=22&k=baby%20clothes" onmouseover="window.status='baby clothes'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">baby clothes</a> - they are used for maximum THREE months for the first year. SIX months for the next year.
i completely feel the same way!

Never buy a 2nd hand car seat unless you personally know the seller. if the seat was in an accident, even a minor one, it could be damaged. You can't always see the damage. It could have weakened the supports or something.That is dangerous IMO. It might also not be up to date on safety standards if it is older than advertisesd.
I would never take a 2nd hand mattress from someone I didn't know personally either.
Also, NEVER buy a used breast pump from someone who you don't know VERY well. Disease can be passed thru them into your baby's milk, this includes HIV..not worth the money you save IMO.
Clothing is fine, of course. Diaper bags,toys (especially the kind you can power wash for outdoors)...all of that stuff is great IMO. But when safety is an issue I don't care how much I will save.
I agree! Good points Michelle!!!
