To not want to buy a car seat

[Onfoot241]

..only for it to be used once.

I'm expecting a baby at the end of October. I don't drive, I either walk places or get a bus if it's not within walking distance.

Its not my first baby but I no longer have the old car seat (which I begrudged buying that time too) and It seems so wasteful to buy another just for the sake of getting back from the hospital only for it to never be used again. The last one wasn't.

I'm told you can't leave the hospital with baby without a car seat which is bonkers to me. Why can't I take baby home in a carrier wrap or his pram?

Who told you this?

Who told you this?

Several people over the years, I did do a thread search on MN too before posting and there were a few people saying that their hospital actually told them they couldn't leave without one.

Oh. Interesting. Check with the hospital for sure before buying one!

Baby is going home in the pram. Baby is not travelling in a car. No car seat is needed. The end.

I’m in SE London, drop me a PM and I’ll see if I can help x
