Sometimes cheap things are not bArgains

The portocot I bought from Target turned out to be a lemon.  It was really cheap ($59) and it was supposed to be so easy to set up and pack up - just snap up and snap down.  Except things wouldn't snap and it was SUCH a pain, that when visiting relatives for Xmas we just left it there, lol.  So now we need to find another portocot, so annoying!  I have no idea where to start looking for one and really cannot be bothered.  I guess we will venture out to baby stores and make sure we can set one up and pack it up before purchasing :-).

I also really really want the City Baby Jogger Versa pram.  The pram we bought for shopping is totally fine, a little annoying but G loves it, but the outside pram is crap - its hood does not protect G at all from the sun!  So I will continue to save my pretty pennies for this pram, everywhere is out of stock until Feb 13 anyway. I cant even find a cheap USA deal, like I did with the City Mini - they are $750 everywhere (noting that our last pram cost $300 and the City Mini  cost about $260 though we made $200 on that when we sold it).  At least I know the resale value will be good based on how much we got for our City Mini when we sold it on Gumtree. But like the post title implies, sometimes you just need to cough up the big bucks to get the right thing.
