AIBU to be upset by Mamas & Papas Staff

The other day DH and I ordered a Doona Nitro car seat/stroller as it’s compact enough for me to manage by myself. It’s very early days, still first trimester, but we wanted to make the most of the brand having a sale.

Yesterday I was in Mamas & Papas for a look around and I got chatting to a woman who works there about items we’d bought/were thinking of. I mentioned that we’d just bought the Doona and she started talking about how dangerous that model would be for my baby - that I should instead buy one of their travel systems (keeping in mind these are over a grand!)

I guess I just want to know if I’m being unreasonable to be upset by this? I’m aware that my hormones are going crazy at the moment, and I’m a FTM so I have no idea what I’m doing.

But it felt very much like she was trying to scare me in order to make an expensive sale. It half worked — I’m very scared that the model we chose is going to harm the baby, but it didn’t make me want to buy anything from there!

jus got our doona x last week and so far it has been brilliant. i do realise it’s only because we don’t drive (husband is learning) but we needed a stroller that would be easy to use with taxis if we needed to go to run an errand or appointment. i also got it as once husband is back at work i will still need to rely on taxis so needed a small light stroller that i can easily use on my own and easier to use then our silver cross travel system.
