    I'mbooked in on friday to have ours done - so 38 weeks. I have needed the extra space though lately but probably wouldnt have put it in before this time anyway. Dont listen to me though - i havent even packed a hospital bag

    DP fitted ours while I was in hospital. DS came 3 weeks early and we had only bought the car seat the day before. It was the last thing we needed to buy so I think DS "knew" we were all ready for him! LOL

    I thought having ours fitted at 37 weeks would give us plenty of time...however DD came ON THE DAY it was being installed...had to get Mum to come over so it could be installed. And as you know she is our first baby.....so bub could come any time.
    So, my advice is get it done as early as you want!!

    DH is outside installing ours now (32 weeks). We figured we need to be prepared if this little one decides he/she will arrive early. Plus we want to have enough time to take it to the RTA to get checked before we use it.
