I am on a very tight budget and am sourcing a lot pre-loved products for my baby. Just wanted to know if there are any products that should not be bought pre-loved...what are the products that must always be bought new?

A list of baby products which should be purchased new include: - Baby cot (Safe to buy used only if it complies with safety standards i.e. no drop down sides, closely spaced rails etc) - Cot mattress - Car seat - Bottles & teats - Shoes Maybe: - Pram A lot of people use hand me down prams. I wanted to do the same as well, but my father advised that it was better to get a new stroller because it's not easy to thoroughly wash and clean the stroller seat and the previous user might have had poonamis in it.
