First time we got the pram and car seat at around 30 weeks. We fitted the seat ourselves (about 36 weeks) and it's best to know how to because sometimes you have to move it to another car (even if you only have one car, you might fly somewhere or use a cab or use a friends car etc etc). It can be installed for you, or checked to make sure it's right if you do it yourself at heaps of places - the appropriate RACx club, ambulance, kid safe house, even the store you bought it from (if you bought from a store) is likely to have someone qualified to do it and they will do it for free. I recommend getting DH/DP to do it himself and getting it checked first time. That way you know it's right but also know how to do it if you do need to move it.

This time we bought the new seat for DS and bub will have the original convertible one. We bought it early so we could have one seat in each car for the time being. We would have needed the new one anyway as the convertible one doesn't last all the way. I love having a seat in each car but I guess I shouldn't get too used to it as it won't work that way with 2 kids!
