Car service with baby seat

[~Hestia~]

We only have one car that can accommodate the car seats. My DH organises any servicing to be done on his days off. They drop him back at home in the morning and pick him back up when it's finished. We're confident in moving car seats around but it's not necessary in our case.

Probably worth pointing out that there is some work done on cars, on some models, that would involve them removing the seats to get under the rear seat.... The fuel pump being repaired in my old Volvo, for example, required them to get under the rear seats - they moved and replaced the seats without me being aware of it at the time.
Many will also vacuum and wash the car after a service, so may well move the seats to do that, so if you plan on leaving them in there, it is well worth having them checked again after, JIC they have been messed with when you didn't expect them to be.

Can you get new seats for the other car?

When we had our seat professionally fitted, I watched so I knew how to do it. We move the seat between cars constantly.

We only have 1 car so I get DH to drop car off then bus to work rather than train, then I walk with kids in pram about 5 km to pick up car.

I too learned how to change seats around reasonably quickly when I was blessed with car sick kiddos....sometimes you have to hose out those suckers.
However, now we only have one car that can take DD2's seat, so I organise for a friend with a seat to come and collect DD2 and I usually as DH often works away. Otherwise our mechanic has always been happy to have one of his workers drive us home and collect us in our car.
