Can I go to a professional to have my capsule installed?
Yes you can, however, this is at your own cost

What if I can’t fit the capsule in my car?
On the rare occurrence that you cannot fit the capsule into your car we request that you contact our customer service team on 1300 809 526.

What if the top tether doesn't reach the anchor point?
In some vehicles, the anchor point may be located in the boot floor or right at the end in the ceiling and you may require an additional extension, please ensure that you purchase the extension strap during checkout. The extensions straps are available in two (300mm or 600 mm) standard sizes, the extension is not adjustable and it's the customer's responsibility to order the appropriate strap length.

What is the difference between ISOFIX and non ISOFIX installation?
The difference between ISOFIX compatibility and NON-ISOFIX compatibility is the method of installation. Please note that ISOFIX installation is only for use in cars with ISOFIX connections. Most cars built after 2014 have ISOFIX, you can check the back seats for the connection or check the owner’s manual.

Is it safer to install with the ISOFIX method or the seat belt method?
Both methods are equally as safe when installed correctly. Please follow the installation instructions in your capsule instruction manual.

Why hire a baby capsule?

There are so many reasons you may choose to hire a baby capsule. For some parents, the cost of buying a brand new baby capsule simply isn’t justifiable for an item that you will only use in the short term. Baby capsules can become costly, and may retail for hundreds of dollars. Many parents find it more beneficial to purchase a baby car seat that can be used for several years. Others may only need a baby capsule for a brief period of time, such as when travelling.

At Mother’s Choice, we offer infant capsule hire for 3 or 6 months. Whether you’re looking to hire a baby car seat in Sydney, Melbourne or elsewhere in Australia, Mother’s Choice has you covered. Our rental baby capsules are from reputable companies and meet all Australian safety standards, so you’ll have peace of mind that your little one will be safe.

How to choose whether to buy or hire a baby capsule?

There are a few things you must consider before deciding whether to buy or hire a baby capsule.

Cost: Baby capsule hire is quite affordable in comparison to the cost of purchasing a car seat once your baby outgrows their baby capsule. For growing families, it may be more cost effective to purchase a convertible car seat that can convert from a rear-facing capsule to a forward-facing car seat. Mother’s Choice offers a selection of car seats to suit different needs.

Safety standards: When you hire a baby capsule with Mother’s Choice, we do the hard work for you. You’ll have peace of mind that all of our baby car seat rentals meet Australian safety standards and are from reputable manufacturers. If you’re purchasing a baby car seat, particularly second hand or online, it’s important to check that it meets Australian requirements for safety.

Time: How long will you be using the baby capsule, and how often? If the answer isn’t a long time, then you may want to consider baby capsule hire instead of purchasing one. At Mother’s Choice, we offer hire periods of 3 or 6 months and can ship your baby capsule rental to anywhere in Australia.
