Clothing and Equipment 

Recent statistics point to each child costing nearly £50,000 by the time they're six-years-old.

 
And with the nappies they go through as a baby; the shoes as a toddler; and then the uniform when they start Infants' School it's no wonder that half of that must go on just them kitting out.

And we haven't even covered the cost of bringing up teenagers - but we guess you'll probably not want to ponder on that one.

Toys and games

It seems like its Christmas everyday for some kids. But it's just as well toys have got cheaper in the last few years - because they all seem to get bored with them after 5 minutes!

On a budget?...

If spending a ton of money on things that'll only be used for months if not weeks, then there are some serious bargains to be picked up in Charity Shops, prams included.

 

The Swindon Scrapstore is also an Alladins Cave of top quality cast-offs and some new items.

And why not make your own children's clothes?
