i know you didnt ask this question but we also hired all baby equipment whilst in QLD saved lugging stuff up there! we hired a car! how about the bus?

The gold coast has good public transport down the beach, its around 30-45 minute though, but you can catch a bus easily enough. Taxi's are okay, and you can hire them with car seats ahead of time. We have done that a few times. If you are staying near the beach, the main road has buses which go everywhere. Its all good. I've often taken the train down to visit my friend & then hopped on a bus from Brissy... saves driving.

When travelling with Maddy I swore by Virgin Blue. We've flown the Brisbane to Sydney route since she was 9 weeks old and I always found them very attentive and helpful. If you're flying with an infant (under 2), you can use your pram in the airport and drop it off at the boarding counter a few minutes before you board. They usually give you priority boarding (along with those who need assistance) and they tend to reserve the back few rows for the parents with children.

Did Jetstar once (Bris to Newcastle) and it was was a red-eye early flight but went smoothly. Haven't done Qantas yet with Maddy, but we will just before Christmas when we go home to see family.

You can travel in Qld in a taxi holding your child under the age of 2 in the backseat as Falguni pointed out. Not recommending it, but I know Ive been in a spot before where there haven't been any available taxis with carseats and ours has been with DH in the car at work - I did the HAB thing as well.

Any airline but Tiger Airways. You can't even contact them (Tiger Airways). I recently had a very bad experience with Tiger Airways. I missed my flight and couldn't contact them, so I had to go to Melbourne Airport to purchase a whole new return ticket back to Perth. They made me purchase a new ticket! Can you believe that? They refused for me to pay the extra charges despite the fact that I was told that their counter was closed after my flight left me. They are ridiculous! I would suggest Virgin or Qantas. Both are good in my eyes, as I am speaking from experience. I have yet to fly with JetStar, however heard its good also.

I found Jetstar or Virgin to be the best when flying with kids (I mainly use Jetstar). Virgin were very helpful when i flew alone with Chelsea.

I love Tiger for their flight crew..but horrid for anything else and refuse to fly with them again!!

As for getting to and from airport accomodation...bus, taxi.....but def hiring a car with a car seat is sooo much easier!! In QLD we used Europcar and they were fantastic. Made sure the seat was the right way, had the car organised when we arrived. Just made us feel very at ease.
