Baby capsules

By law children must be properly restrained in a car by a correctly-fitted restraint that is suitable for the child's size and weight. A baby capsule is designed to safely restrain an infant travelling in a car, and protect the infant in the event of a car crash.

Council recommends the following two baby capsule hire companies, which provide professional capsule fitting and offer lower rates to concession card holders.

Hire for Baby

Based in Kew , Hire for Baby provides baby capsule hire and a free professional capsule fitting service. The cost for hire is $99 or $49 with concession. These prices cover the hire of a capsule for up to six months.

You will need to bring your car in to Hire for Baby's Kew office for professional fitting. For more information or to making a booking, visit www.hireforbaby.com or contact Kim on 9819 7813.

Child Restraints Fitted - Mobile

Child Restraints Fitted - Mobile provides baby capsule hire and a free professional capsule fitting service. The cost for hire is $95 or $45 for concession, with a refundable bond deposit of $45. These prices cover the hire of a capsule for up to seven months.

Child Restraints Fitted is a mobile service. A representative will come to your home to professionally fit your baby capsule. For more information and bookings, visit www.childrestraints.com.au or call 9317 3050.
