Local councils and baby stores often do. Try maybe a google search. Or do what I did and bring ur own :yes:

The hub has this link http://www.bubhub.com.au/serviceshirensw.shtml

thanks for that!!!!

i have to take up the porta cot and stroller so wont be able to manage the car seat on top of that. i am going up without dh so it is going to be a logistical nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am hoping to have it all organised before i go so :fingerscrossed: to me.

will check out that site properly now.

Try Baby Things at Kensington - very close to airport. They are very good and an authorised fitting station. HTH.

Hi there, I just went to Sydney and had to do the same thing. We used Little's Car restraints (their number is on the bubhub listing) and they are awesome. It's a mobile service so will go to your home or work (or whoever's car you will be using) and install then pick it up at the end of your hire period. Couldn't recommend them highly enough as they were so professional. It was expensive ($70 for a week) but since it included drop off/install and pick up the hassle it saved us was worth it. I didn't want to have to ask my SIL to run around getting a seat installed when she was kind enough to lend us her car in the first place!


HTH!

oh thankyou that sounds perfect - i really didnt want to ask my friend to be driving us all over getting things fitted, picking up etc...

they actually installed my car seat in melb before ds was born and were very good
