Not long to go now! When should I pack the car seat?

[Skyeblue]

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!!

I booked in to have it done at 36 weeks and DH said its to early so i cancelled it!!!!
Changed to 39 weeks Jacob was born on the tues and DH had to take car on the thurs to the appt!!! that will teach him Lol

Good luck with birth

We got ours done the week after I went on Mat leave

35 weeks

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.

I think DH wants to fit it himself and then we'll get someone to check it over.

AJC - so do you have to book with the RTA or just show up and someone checks it for you?
Sara - we got a Safe N Sound one!! They are the most reliable brand from what i read and was told....

I think going by what all of you have said i think I'll get DH to fit it at 35 weeks

Hey Ren, we asked the same question at out our AN class last night and the MW said 32 weeks is a good time...
I better get onto it!

[AJC]

Not sure Ren - will let you know once we find out. My guess is that there may only be limited staff authorised to inspect so we might need to book an appointment if that is the case.
