When Should You Book Your Capsule?

The earlier you book, the better your chances of securing your preferred capsule and dates — especially during peak periods like holidays, school holidays, or around your due date.

We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance for the best availability. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice, particularly for the Mico Plus Non-Isofix model.

Same-week or same-day delivery may be possible if you text us before 8am. Just call Anthony on 0466 997 233 if your dates are urgent.

If you’re expecting twins, have a premmie baby, or need multiple capsules, we recommend booking as early as possible so we can coordinate everything for you.

What About Older Maxi Cosi Models?

We no longer recommend older Maxi Cosi models such as the Mico AP and Mico 12 for most families.

These models are either discontinued or over 10 years old, and newer capsules like the Mico Plus offer significantly better installation, comfort, and safety features.

If you’re considering an older model, we recommend choosing the current Mico Plus instead for peace of mind and easier daily use.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about hiring a Maxi Cosi capsule in Melbourne.

    Which Maxi Cosi capsule is best to hire in Melbourne?
    The Mico Plus is our top recommendation for most families. It offers the easiest installation, best sun protection, superior comfort, and modern features compared to older models.
    What’s the difference between the Mico Plus and Mico 12?
    The Mico 12 can be used up to 12 months, while the Mico Plus is designed for newborn to approximately 6 months. The Mico Plus has a better canopy, superior wicking fabric, and much easier-to-use magnetic harness holders.
    Why don’t you recommend the older Mico AP?
    The Mico AP is an older model (over 10 years old) with outdated Isofix design that is harder to install correctly. Newer models like the Mico Plus offer significantly better safety, comfort, and ease of use.
    Does the hire price include professional fitting?
    Yes. Every capsule hire includes professional installation and a full safety demonstration by an ACRI-accredited technician at no extra cost.
    Do you offer same-day or same-week delivery?
    Yes. Same-week and same-day delivery is often possible when you text or call us before 8am, especially for the Mico Plus Non-Isofix model.
    Can I take a video of the capsule demonstration?
    Yes, you’re welcome (and encouraged) to record the demonstration so you can refer back to it later.
    How long does the fitting and demonstration take?
    The physical installation usually takes under 4 minutes. The full demonstration takes 15–25 minutes so you fully understand how to use the capsule safely and confidently.
    Can I use the Mico Plus with my current pram?
    In most cases, yes. The Mico Plus works with many popular prams using the official travel adaptor system. Just let us know your pram model and we’ll confirm compatibility.
    Is the Mico Plus suitable if I want to hire it long-term?
    Yes. While it’s officially rated to around 6 months, many parents continue using it comfortably up to 12 months depending on their baby’s size. We also offer flexible extensions if needed.
