After some advice:
We're off to see our friends who emigrated to Australia for all of December. They've been able to find a carseat to borrow for my 3 year old. But haven't found one for her sister, she'll be just 6 months when we arrive. She's quite skinny (although tall) so I think she'll only weigh about 7kg when we arrive.
I know the rules are different in Australia so there's no point in bringing her UK seat. Is it easy to hire seats? We'll be using a mixture of our friend's cars and a hire car for a trip to Jervis Bay. And can anyone recommend a company (they live in Wollongong, NSW)?
Thanks in advance.
