Just a query to all the mums out there who have a BJCS.... I am currently pregnant with number two and am contemplating a BJSC to handle both my DS (who will be 15 months when number 2 arrives) and the bub.

My question is, do I need to purchase the bassinet, or can I get by with just an additional seat? I had a bassinet for my BJCM with DS1 but only used for about 2 months, and am trying to get my head around the cost of an extra seat AND a bassinet....

many thanks in advance....

I used the car capsule instead of the bassinet. You could put a newborn in the seat as it lays back fairly well, but the strap positioning is too high. I moved my DD into the seat at about 3-4 months I think.
