Apologies if this has been mentioned in previous posts. My family have always found bouncy chairs invaluable. In the months before a baby can sit up they can be laid in these chairs and see what is going on around them. I have cooked many a meal standing on one leg and gently tapping the chair with the other to keep a baby entertained. As you have found, prams, pushchairs, buggies are very expensive. When my youngest GD was on her way I went with my daughter to a baby shop to look for a double buggy. When I mentioned how expensive, just north of £1,000, was for a buggy, the assistant looked at me and told me it was a travel system. Good excuse to bump up the price, I suppose. Enjoy your new grandchild. If I had known how delightful grandchildren are, I would have had them first. Good luck with it all.
