We think we will hire a capsule this time so those that have done it I have a few questions:
*Where did you hire from? *How much was bond and how much did you pay to hire? *How long did you get it for? *What stage of your pregnancy did you book it? *What brand and was it good quality? *Did it have any flash bits like a base or anything? Thanks |

we hired our capsule from the baby factory...which i regreted...as it cost $145 with a $50 bond
plunket hire them for almost half the price.. we hired ours before we left the hospital...it had a base on it.. (With the baby factory, you need to book in advance) with plunket you can just go in and get one..and we had it for 6mths ------------- http://lilypie.com">

we were going to hire one but ended up buying a second hand one off trade me that had been used only for 6 months and it was the same price as hiring plus we can sell it again.
if you do decide to hire you can also try plunket and there is also a baby/bike shop in burwood that hires them out. I think you generally get them for 6 months. |

| My parents hired one for Jack from plunket but didn't get it til a couple of days after he was born so they got a really crappy one that was hard to use so I want to be organised this time lol |

I used plunket with both the girls, I booked in advance from a smaller plunket, cost bout $20 from memory with $50 deposit if you still wanted it after 6mths you just needed to contact them to extend - didnt cost anymore. There is also http://www.babyonthemove.co.nz - baby on the move - they hire a wide range of stuff but not sure about their prices ------------- Kerryn, Mum to Ashlyn(29/3/04), Anastasia(1/11/05) & Abigail (24/02/09) |

We had requested one from Baby on the Move, I think it was a brand new one for $80 for 6 months, but ended up buying the same capsule for $100 off Trade Me in the end, 6mo and really good condition, then we can sell on.

I paid $40 each to hire the twins capsules from PLunket, plus an extra $25 for the bases. I've got the Evenflo Discovery's and they are really easy to use, and I wouldn't be without the bases, you literally just snap them in and go, so much easier than fussing about with a seatbelt and locking clip.
Baby Factory do sell ex-rentals for $75 and if I'd known that I might have bought ours rather than hired, but then I still would have had to buy the bases. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)
