    Hi,
    Just wondering if it's worth our while going north with the exchange rate as it is to buy a buggy/travel system? If so any recommendations of shops?
    Thanks

    Kiddicare.com is brilliant as is Amazon .
    There is a Mammas and Pappas in Belfast ,if you like their stuff .
    Their is babame just outside Newry and one called Kingsbaby shop but I have never been to it .
    The other 2 in Newry that I knew have closed .
    There is a Mothercare too .

    Would it not be better to just order online from Amazon?

    Great thanks for those suggestions. Was thinking that Amazon would be more of a pain to return items to if faulty but I should go check their return policy. Have checked now and going North have found the same system for considerably cheaper.

    Babame.com and their shop are worth a look .
    Amazon's return policies are very good but it is the effort involved .
    We bought everything from kiddicare.com but that was mostly 8 years ago with a few bits since .

    Friends of ours have looked recently (since the Brexit vote) and have gone North. They have saved significant money on good travel systems. I'd say it's definitely worth looking into.

    Got our buggy/travel system this weekend in North. Definitely worth the saving we thought and we got an extra discount from the shop. We were very happy as its freed up some finances for all the other gear we need!
    Thanks for all the replies from everyone. Happy to answer any questions.
