1. Is the equipment sanitized?

Yes, all equipment is carefully cleaned & sanitized prior to each new hire.  The equipment is also safety checked before each rental.  We treat the equipment as if our own children were using it.

2. Is the equipment new?
All of our equipment is purchased brand new and is maintained in excellent condition. We pride ourselves on the high standard of safety and cleanliness we offer. Each item is thoroughly inspected before each hire.

3. Do you carry liability insurance?

Hire for Baby is proud to say that we do hold public liability insurance for the hire of baby equipment and the installation of child car restraints.  Due to the nature of our business, i.e. hiring baby equipment/installing car restraints, it is very expensive and extremely difficult to obtain liability coverage. However, due to the fact that we are the largest baby equipment hire service in the country, we were able to obtain this coverage. You should ask about this before hiring from any baby equipment company; most policies do not cover the hire of baby equipment.

4. Will you install car seats?

The majority of our branches are able to offer free installation of hired child car restraints at Hire for Baby premises.  Our managers are trained to provide the safest & most appropriate child restraint & installation as we believe that your child’s safety is of paramount importance.   We also provide anchor fittings and/or extension straps as required – all at no extra cost.

5. What is the law regarding child restraints?

The law states that children under one year must be carried in an approved child restraint. Child restraints must be suitable for the child's size and weight and properly fitted and adjusted. Approved restraints carry the Australian Standards AS/NZ1754 sticker.  All restraints used by Hire for Baby must carry the Australian Standard.
Australian Standard AS/NZ1754 states that purchasers should destroy the entire restraint if it is in a severe crash, even if no damage is obvious.

6. Can we use child restraints from overseas?

By law every child restraint sold in Australia must meet strict requirements, which are set out in Australian Standard AS/NZ1754. This covers materials, design, construction, performance, testing and labelling of child restraints. All restraints must carry the Australian Standard AS/NZ1754 sticker. Most overseas child restraints, including restraints from countries such as the UK and USA, do not comply with these Standards and cannot legally be used in Australia.
