Hire a baby Capsule for the first couple of months is a great help for many first‑time parents. When bubs is in the capsule, you can transfer bubs without disturbing them from pram to car and then inside. What is involved, how does the hire process work. At Travel Safe Capsule Hire in Melbourne we want to make the process easy for you.
Why Hire
Purchasing a baby capsule or a convertible car seat can be expensive. Hiring a baby capsule frees up cash for other expenses, e.g. getting the nursery ready. We understand this and want your start to parenthood to be easier with our 4‑month hire with free installation within our capsule hire service area.

Baby Capsule Installation
When you hire a Maxi Cosi Mico AP capsule, you do not need to worry if you bought the correct seat, if it fits your car, or if your partner can install the capsule.
At Travel Safe we take care of the baby capsule installation for you.
Do you provide an installation certificate? Yes, we provide a certificate with our accreditation number.
Please Note: When you require a later model capsule, we recommend hiring the Maxi Cosi Mico Plus . All capsules are under 10 years of age and have never been involved in an accident.
Free Installation or D.I.Y. Installation
Some hire companies want you to install the capsule yourself by watching online videos.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME with companies that do not provide free installation.
This can be dangerous; the chance of error is high and places unnecessary stress on first‑time parents.
TravelSafe provide personal tuition and expert guidance when a specialist installer comes to your home.
Free Delivery and Pickup
Many hire companies offer free delivery but require you to return the capsule yourself.
One company even charges $25 for delivery and then makes you post it back.
This is laziness and profit‑maximising behaviour.
Travel Safe capsule hire in Melbourne always offer free delivery and pickup within our service area.
Travel Safe are the only hire company who started as specialist baby car seat fitters in Melbourne.
