In Melbourne, you hire capsules from the council. Can't remember how much it was but probably not very much - for the first six months. You could do that and see how you go. If you find you don't use it much then perhaps go without.

In any case, it's not something you have to decide on now - as I always say, "the shops are still open AFTER you've had the baby."

I don't drive so am used to PTing everywhere BUT you might find you use the car more with a baby. Less time-consuming if you just want to "pop" out rather than walk, catch the bus etc. particularly if you've been short on sleep.
