Newborn essentials - help!

I'm completely overwhelmed by the different stores, brands and prices. I'm looking for a cot (<150£) and a pushchair/pram (<500£). I want to buy new things, but I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money. It's my first baby and I'm new in the UK, so I'm not familiar neither with the stores nor with the brands. I've already been to mamas and papas and John Lewis. I know I want a cot where you can change the height and I want a pushchair/pram for all terrains. I don't need a car seat. What did you buy and where? Thank you for your help! 🙏🏽

Try babyworld or pram world, all main brands but discounted we saved 1,000 on our pram using the sites

Slightly more than your budget but we got this cot in the mamas and papas sale, we put it up today and it’s really good quality: https://www.mamasandpapas.com/products/solo-cotbed-cashmere-cbsoa0100 - it’s also adjustable and also turns into a toddler bed later on. For a pram, we got this which also comes with a car seat so saves money there too: https://www.babyplanetonline.co.uk/sale/mamas-papas-ocarro-pushchair-7-piece-maxi-cosi-cabriofix-i-size-car-seat-base-bundle-grey-mist?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADFqN3675UHuAc7lD7Q59efve6eoz

I would really encourage you to purchase second hand. The only things that are an absolute no second hand too me are mattress for sleep space and a carseat. Literally everything else can be second hand

Try the nursery store they do complete travel systems with car seats for under £500 x

I got the ikkle bubba travel system for £499 on sale and it's got like 12 things in it and is stunning

I got my cot from babyworld, obaby cot was £200 plus £25 for mattress. It goes lower, and can be used as a bed later so saves money. You can definitely get a pram cheaper, especially if you dont need a car seat. You can look for ones that recline fully as you don’t necessarily need a bassinet, which may save you even more money
