    convertable car seat needed Urgent

    well hubbie is outa work at moment and has been for ahh let see ages now not threw lack of trying tho. Well when he was working last year back in august when booked plane ticked to NZ to visit the inlaws so they can see our wonderful son along with taking 3 other children of ours well im glad back then we paid for the tickets cause now obviously it wouldn't be happening if had to pay for it right now.

    with hubbie not being a citizen there is just my center link income.
    My question is and i hope MODS ist o.k to ask this is anyone selling a convertible car seat so i can' take the one out of my car and leave it in nz to save taking so much stuff every time. As you can imagine carting suitcases and a porta cots and prams and a tribe of children gets a bit much every year we go.

    My mother inlaw normally hires one but i know it costs her about 40 dollars and i know funds are limited there also. I was hoping on buying one so i can either leave it in nz or swap it with my existing one.

    is anyone getting rid of or selling one? if so please pm me for my email address and or details i am in the caboolture area but can travel on train line if your willing to drop off. I will continue to bid in ebay to get one if its possible to get one cheaply thats suitably safe and alright. Thought no harm in asking is there?

    well thanks for reading !

    If you lived closer you could have the one I have sitting under my house, It is just over 6 years old so getting close to expiry date but is in 100% tip top condition.. When are you leaving?

    I would try Gumtree, just google Gumtree Australia, set up a profile and post a thread asking for a seat, someone might offer you one for free. My BF picks up wonderful things some new, for nothing. It's great. I'd definitely try that. If you can't find it PM and I will send you a link.

    how much are you prepared to pay for one?

    My SIL has 2 sitting in my parents garage and I will ask her if she wants to sell you one if I know what you are able to pay?

    I could collect in a fortnight and live in Deception Bay.
