In September im taking my DS, who will be 1 year old by then, to Qld for the weekend to see my dad (Fathers Day weekend!). Rather than using google and spending 7 hours going through 300,000 websites, i thought i'd ask for advice here from those who are in the know! As its a surprise for dad, i cant ask him to suss these things out for me and need to organise it all before we leave...

1. Is it possible to hire a rental car with a car seat or do i need to hire that separately from somewhere? If so, where near Springfield Qld could i hire one?

2. Can i take a port-a-cot as well as a stroller on a plane as luggage, as well as a suitcase? I'll be flying with Virgin and not sure if i can take the cot as well as the stroller?

3. Out of Movieworld, Dreamworld and Seaworld, which would be most enjoyable for a 1 year old? I know that none of them are exactly age appropriate but which out of the 3 would be most entertaining for him? I've been to all 3 but wasn't really looking at them through the eyes of a 1 yr old!!

Thank you for your help ladies!
