Buying baby & kids in Falkirk
Falkirk has two remarkable pieces of engineering a short distance apart: a rotating boat lift that replaced a flight of locks, and a pair of thirty-metre horse-head sculptures beside the canal. It made cast iron for two centuries at a foundry known worldwide.
Anything that carries a child needs its history known, and that means asking the person who used it rather than reading a description. Meeting face to face is the only way to put those questions and judge the answers, which is why this trade stays close to home.
What to check in person
Ask directly whether a car seat has ever been in a collision, because one that has must not be used again however sound it looks, and no marketplace can verify the answer. Work the recline and every buckle, and confirm the instructions are with it.
Collecting it in Falkirk
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The two canals cut across the town and the crossings decide how long a journey takes, so it is worth naming the side you are on rather than only the street. The wheel and the horses’ heads are what everyone navigates by.
