    Don't be fooled by the price of car seats & capsules. They are all safe - they all have to pass the same standards to be sold in Australia. The dearer ones just have more bells & whistles. I got that little fact from someone who used to work for IGC - who make almost all of the car seats on sale here - they just have different brands on them (and different fabrics etc).

    Thanks for the advice Satya, however our decision was based on RACV independant testing of car seats. It is true that all car seats have to meet minimum requirments, but there are those that still hold up better than others in an accident and the one we chose was definately one of the top ones they had reviewed.

    I live in city of CAsey too and council doesn't hire them out anymore. We were told Hire for Baby and they charge $100/110 for about 3-6 months. It's not bad but cause you can get a brand new one (the newer style) for $280 from Bay Gellery that's what we did. We figured there would be somone inmy family or friends who could use it after us and we know it's brand new when we have it.

    Safe'n Sound Baby safety capsules can be hired throughout Melbourne from Maxam Baby Capsule Hire. Maxam have been contracted by many local councils for over 15 years to provide this service. The nearest one to Casey is Ferntree Gully. Ring the head office on 1300 885 645 and they will be able to help you
