Yes we do. Every single one of our staff are accredited restraint fitters and we will professionally install any child restraint you hire whether you come to us or we come to you. Professional installation is free of charge on all hired restraints and a Certificate of Installation is provided.
This Certificate is a requirement of some maternity units.
If you have your own restraint we can also install that for you for $55. Discounts apply for 2+ restraints being installed at the same time, just ask our staff for a customised quote.
We have two centrally located warehouses in Sydney, one in Kirrawee (2232) and one in Waterloo (2017). Our Waterloo warehouse is just 8 mins from Sydney Domestic Airport – perfect for picking up your hire items on your way through.
If neither of these locations suit you for pick up we offer delivery to your home, hotel, accomodation, workplace or hire car provider. Just provide the delivery address in your enquiry and we will create a customised quote for you to include delivery. Please note that we can only deliver within 30km of Sydney CBD.

Our pricing structure is 1-7 days, 8-14 days, 15-30 days and then to a longer monthly arrangement.
We are unable to offer pro-rata pricing or refunds on early returns. Prices are all listed on each item with the hire term and price.
If you make an error with your enquiry (ie. select a 7 day hire but require the item for 10 days) the price will be corrected on booking for you.
It’s simple:
Easy as one, two, three.
The answer is no, sorry folks. Pram wheels generally operate with encased ball bearings within the wheel and, although it feels great on our feet, lovely white beach sand gets right in those bearings and jams them completely. This can really do some serious damage to your hired pram, leaving you stuck with both a wheel locked pram and the cost of repair and wheel replacement. Please keep your hired pram out of the sand – thanks so much.
Unfortunately if prams are returned with sandy wheels you will not be able to have your bond refunded as we will then need to have the pram serviced.
As soon as possible. To enable you to have the widest range of choice of products and to avoid the disappointment of missing out on having exactly what you want, we suggest that you make your booking as soon as you have decided you wish to hire.
If you aren’t sure what you want or need please call one of our experts who will be happy to assist you in choosing the right products for your needs and budget.
Absolutely it will. All our hire items are carefully cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions and care is taken not to use astringent or allergenic cleaning products.
All hire items are regularly sold as ex-hire through our website and new items are purchased regularly to ensure we have the latest products available at the best price for our customers.
Most babies will fit into their capsules until they are about 6-12 months of age dependent on the model. If your baby did outgrow their capsule please just notify the office and we will replace your capsule with an appropriate, available rear facing carseat for the remaining term of your hire. A $50 fee applies to cover the cost of cleaning, the professional installation of the replacement restraint and the preparation and issuing of another Installation Certificate for your new restraint.
We also sell brand new carseats so if you prefer to return your capsule early you can buy a replacement carseat and we will install that for you free of charge.
We do not offer pro rata refunds for early returns or change of mind.
A number of considerations should be taken into account when choosing a capsule.
Call our expert team on 0431 093 707 to speak to our restraint fitter who will be able to assist you to make the right choice for your family.
We suggest that we install your hire baby capsule for you a week to 10 days before your baby is due to arrive.
If you’re picking up from our warehouse, you may opt to wait until Mum is in hospital and have a partner or a friend pick up. We are happy to hold your hire items for you until you call and say you’re ready to have it installed.
Generally installations can be booked and done within 24 hours.
We appreciate that there may be times when you need to return an item you have hired or purchased.
As such we have outlined our Repairs, Refunds and Returns policy below.
We strive to make sure all our customers are satisfied. Our business is based on repeat business. At this time we do not offer pro-rata refunds if the customer returns their hire items earlier than planned or changes their mind. This includes for COVID related events. This keeps products available for those who want them.
While every care has been taken to ensure we help you select the right restraint for your needs, we understand you may change your mind and prefer to swap to a different model of restraint. This can be done if the alternative model is available however there will be a $50 fee to cover the cost of the additional installation service as well as the cleaning and safety checking of your previous hire item. If you select a cheaper hire item there is no refund on any difference in price. If you select a more expensive restraint you will be charged the difference.
If your child outgrows their baby capsule we can replace it with a rear facing carseat until your hire term expires. Please note there is a $50 fee for the installation of the any replacement restraint and as above the restraint must be the same value as the capsule. Any price increase on the replacement will be borne by the customer. As we only hire and sell reputable, Australian and International brand nursery equipment you can easily research the products and lifespans on our site or at the manufacturer’s website or ask for some help from one of our representatives when making your booking. However we will gladly exchange your product with a replacement if it is faulty. To assist parents we have a range of hire terms from as little as a week right up to 6 calendar months so you can hire only for as long as you’ll need the product.
Upon booking a deposit is payable within 3 days of placing your order. Cancellation of your order can be made at any time but we ask that it be provided to us in writing. If you do wish to cancel or your order the following policy applies: Cancellation of 72 hours or less – no refund is available. Cancellations with more than 72 hours notice can choose from a full refund less a $50 administration fee or credit note with no $50 administration fee incurred. This policy includes COVID related events. All credit notes have no expiry date and can be used anytime on any available hire item.
Please order carefully as we do not refund or exchange simply because you changed your mind or you have made an error in finalising your order (such as not being happy with the colour or choosing an incorrect product for your needs or baby’s requirements). We may allow an exchange or refund on a case-by-case basis for such returns, provided that the item in question is:
If the product has been used or installed in your car we do not offer refunds. You may return hire items early but we do not offer refunds on early returns. Delivery and collection fees are non refundable.
The new child restraint laws are now in effect. Here is a quick guide for parents:
| If your child is: | He or she should be restrained in: |
|---|---|
| Birth up to 6 months | Rearward facing child restraint with an inbuilt harness |
| 6 months up to 4 years of age | Rearward or forward facing child restraint with an inbuilt harness |
| 4 years up to 7 years of age | Forward facing child restraint with an inbuilt harness or a booster seat |
| Over 7 years of age | Booster seat with either an accessory harness or standard car seat belt |
New laws have been passed that make it mandatory for children under seven to be restrained in an appropriate child restraint. These laws are designed to increase the safety of your children and reduce the number of children injured or killed in car accidents.
If you are involved in any type of car accident, no matter how minor, you must inform us immediately. For your own safety, we must replace your car child restraint with another. The first restraint will then be destroyed by us. The restraint must be returned to our office as soon as practicable.
Accidents can’t be helped and events like that in no way affect your bond refund. Your bond is still refunded but you will be required to either claim current retail replacement cost of the capsule from your insurer or if you prefer, you can settle the account directly.
Yes we are. Our fitters have been trained by the training arm of the Roads & Traffic Authority as well as being an accredited member of A.C.R.I., the Australian Child Restraint Resource Initiative. All our hired child restraints come with the offer of complimentary installation by a trained restraint fitter. The safety of your child is of paramount importance.

Yes, a bond of $50 per item is required for each hired item except Airport hires and Premium Line capsules (Cybex) which have a $100 per item bond and hospital grade breastpumps which incur a $250 bond.
All bonds are refunded by direct transfer or cheque only – no cash refunds – within 7-10 business days of the items return to us.
All hire items and any accessories must be returned in good clean before bonds can be refunded.
A $25 cleaning fee will be deducted from your bond if the hire items are returned soiled, sandy or stained.
A valid current credit card number will be required as security for return of the hire items.
No funds will be charged unless the hire item is not returned or returned damaged in which case the full retail value of a brand new replacement item will be charged to the credit card provided.
Yes it does happen! Babies come when they’re ready they can’t see the calendar.
If you have a current booking and your baby makes an earlier than expected arrival, please have your partner or friend call us on our mobile 0431 093 707 and we will aim to get your capsule installed within 48 hours. If your chosen product wasn’t available we would be happy to supply you with an alternate carseat or capsule until your chosen product is ready. Your hire dates will simply be changed to encompass the early arrival.
The simple answer is no. Under law every child car restraint sold in Australia must meet very stringent safety requirements, which are set out in Australian Standard AS/NZ1754. This standard covers all aspects of the restraint including design, materials, performance, safety testing, labelling and so on of child restraints. All restraints must carry the Australian Standard AS/NZ1754 sticker and all our restraints carry this standard. Most child restraints purchased overseas, including car seats from countries such as the USA and the United Kingdom do not comply with this Standards and cannot legally be used in Australia.
One of our accredited child restraint fitters examines each returned capsule individually and are trained to recognise any signs the capsule could have been misused, in an accident or any attempt at repair or replacement of parts have been applied or replaced during the previous hire term. Any capsule with any recognised issue is destroyed on the spot by having the harness cut off completely with scissors and discarded.
