Dreymin,
they have other branches in sengkang (i think) but still find pasir ris branch cheaper.
Exact price must go home and check... hb is the one to source and compare all the prices and he thinks there is cheaper...

2nd hand bed ? Ever thought about structural rigidity, loose parts, bed bugs, parasitic insects, in short safety of the baby? Just a question not for the hypersensitive defensive people.

kate,
how many kids do u have? if u are preg with number 2 or so, then u also need to consider if your number 2 shld take the handsdown from your number 1 because u also need to consider structural rigidity, loose parts, bed bugs, parasitic insects.
of course when people buy 2nd hand, they will check the product before they buy. be it new or 2nd hand items, all items bound to have a risk!

Careful when buying milk powder from medical halls, it's common to see milk powder originating not from country of the main manufacturer. Although safe for consumption but it's clear why the lower price. do check the mfg country .

SunFl@wer I agree everything has risk but it depends what's at stake and for what purpose. To save money and put my baby at risk is something I can't bring myself to do. Although you can check visually one cannot be 100% sure what more you do not have to QA facility to do so . Every year many cots are recalled for not meeting safety standards. Just recently CPSC recalled millions of cots following the deaths of four babies. Even mattress, a study published in Glasgow showed BB who routinely sleep on a mattress previously used by another child is at higher risk of cot death. This was linked to bacteria in the cot and mattresses.
Quoting a CPSC spokesman : Do not use a cot you are unsure of until you have investigated the safety of the product from a reliable manufacturer.. Err on the side of caution.

dsqyvonne no, and yes ... New products has gone through current safety standard tests and certification (reputable brands) e.g. Cot bar widths must meet regulation standards. There is a thing called wear and tear plus a unknown factor as to the usage of used cots. Also why manufacturers limit warranty to 1-2years at most, parts can become faulty and many cannot be seen with the naked eyes.

Ednique, many people wants others to agree to themselves to seek justification to their actions or decisions .Hence any comments which is not in line with their thought process is deemed negative.

eeyore_03, I can't force others into doing things.. I am merely stating my point of view and information... Which clearly is different from what you have in mind.

Kate,
u already mentioned 'recall', so it can also be first hand.. so doesnt meant only 2nd hand have safety issues.. no one would want to risk their babies' lifes.
dont tell me ur change ur own bed frame every 1-2 yrs since limit warranty is 1-2years at most, parts can become faulty and many cannot be seen with the naked eyes.

Kate,
if you want to share your point of view, you should put it in a nice way. We are here to encourage, support and give good comments to each other, not here to give sarcasm remarks. I just wonder why you don't answer our questions and we want to know who you are.

SunFl@wer you still don't get my point completely. Regulatory bodies constantly monitors and amend safety standards often after unfortunate accidents and laboratory tests. The point about recalls is to highlight the dynamism of safety.By purchasing the latest reputable cot ensures safety standards are met and material rigidity is assured -QC
puchasing a used furniture introduces many variables and uncertainties as to the rigidity of the furniture and what sort of wear it has been subjected to. My own cot will be subjected to proper care (known), servicing(known), and constant inspection(known). To make it simple if I buy a 2 year old cot from Madam Tan Ah Huay across the street, she tells me it's a good cot (unknown, and hard to verify) what are the chances of it passing current safety checks ? To save a few dollars there are simply too many unknowns : this translates to risks for my child.

Real meaning of QA/QC ? the triad? What is there to brag about? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

SunFl@wer not sure how I can illustrate so you get my point. It simple , really , old cot vs new cot.
Old cot - cheap (hooray)
new cot - more ex [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
now .. Old cot is less safe - why?
Key words!
Fatigue...
Rate dependant matl failure...
Any material stressed repeatedly will undergo progressive structural damage.
