Confused... Have seen that you can buy pebble, feminists base and then opal. I'm just thinking... I definitely need a car seat from birth that I can carry (and attach to pram) also want a base for ease. It's the next bit I'm confused about... Do I buy the more expensive base (family) just so I can buy the opal? The opal isn't a carry seat and will be permanently fixed in car... So am I better off buying a cheaper base to fit the initial seat and then just buying any seat to be permanently fixed for stage 2??? Does any of that even make sense? Confused!
