Should I keep my baby car seat and stroller set? Or get a new when if or when we do decide to have another kid? My son is 8 months now and just got out of the infant car seat. Having a hard time deciding whether i should keep it or not.

I think if you guys are considering another one, it is best to keep it unless you really don't have space for it. I don't see why you want to get rid of these expensive gears while you might consider having another one.

Your son is now 8 months old and a newborn car seat doesn't last for long due to a baby getting too big for you. If you are planning to have another baby sometime in the next 2 or 3 years it could be worth keeping. It is fine to get a new car seat in the next pregnancy. I got rid of my disabled son's pram and then got pregnant again. My baby that came next is a girl so she doesn't wear boys clothes. You could keep your son's clothes if you think you might have another baby boy in the future. I think that the second stage car seat is worth holding on to. It is 9 months to 4 years old. If you have another baby before you son can walk you will need a tandem or double buggy. I bought one of those.

This is a very good question. It all depends how old goods the condition of your items are and also how much money you have. You already know how expensive baby things can be, so if you're after saving some money and the equipment is still in good condition, it would be best to keep in the next baby and be able to make use of the extra money.

This is a tough one. The carseats are only good for 3 or 5 years. The stroller is something that is still useable and will come in handy. I say keep the stroller sell the seat. Ppl are always looking for a nice carseat in good condition. As long as it hasnt been in an accident and is under 5 years I believe it is still good. hard to see them grow so fast.
