Buy now or wait for a better deal?

I'm planning on getting a MR for DD. She is currently in a SR30 which I will need for the new baby in April. I would like to have a MR no later than early to mid March. DD was a three week early emergency and helping DH install a infant bucket base in freezing temps in a parking garage after a c-section was not something I'd like to repeat. So I'd like to be all ready car seat wise well in advance.
I can get a MR on sale tomorrow at Meijer (mperks 15% off all GM and apparel this Sat. only) for about $126 or so with tax.
Or should I wait and see if the MR goes on sale sometime in the next month or so?

I always ask myself is it worth $__ to just stop thinking about it :D

If you know what you want now, saving $25 might not be worth stressing over watching for deals, timing it right, etc... especially if you want DD to have some time in the MR before the baby comes to make sure it's going to work for her, and to wash and set up the SR30 for the new baby.

BTW, with my baby DD about the same age as yours I keep thinking about how it would be to be expecting another :eek: :love:

Good point. It's always easier to install seats without being too hugely pregnant also.

And yeah, it's kinda scary to think that in 3 months I'll have a newborn, a 16 month old and a 4 year old. Not to mention a 13 year old. :eek: Not exactly the timing we wanted but it is what it is. And I don't deal well with stress. Fun times are coming, yes they are.

Then I would totally buy what you want right now. The extra $25 won't break you, and it just might save your sanity in a few weeks. My boys were both preemies, and there were some things that were just worth having done early (NOT including their actual deliveries!) You need to be resting when you can right now and getting things together for your older children, not worrying about a carseat.

Congrats!

Well, I didn't buy at Meijer today. I'm going to wait until next weekend and do the BRU trade in so I can get the Sonata cover. DH wants his princess in a pink seat :rolleyes:.
