TravelSafe provide personal tuition and expert guidance; when a specialist baby capsule installation expert comes to your home and installs the baby capsule.
Many hire companies try to maximise their profits by offering free delivery; but you must return the capsule to the company at the end of the hire period.
One hire company has even gone to the extreme of making you pay for delivery ($25); and then you need to struggle with bubs; and post it back to the hire company.
This is just sheer laziness; by the hire company wanting to maximise profits; and not be involved with helping you on your parental journey.
