HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY ORDER TO BE DELIVERED?
Most orders are shipped out same or next business day when ordering before 1pm (AEST).
We quote the time before an item ships for most products on our site. 95% of our items available to purchase are in stock and ready to ship! We ship items that are in stock same day (or at least within 24 hours) and items that aren't in stock can be sourced and packed for shipment in two to seven days. This is the time that it takes for us to ship the order, not the time it takes for the order to be delivered.
You will receive an email to let you know your item has been shipped, or if you have set up an account, you can login to check the status of your order at any time.
To work out the total delivery time you will need to add the shipping time quoted on our site to the following delivery times quoted by Australia Post, although in many cases can be quicker.
EXPRESS POST OR EXPRESS COURIER
If you need your order in a hurry and won't be home to sign for the package you can send it by Express Post or Express Courier, often next day in Victoria and usually cuts around two days off the delivery time for other destinations.
Express Post is mostly used for customers with Australia Post PO boxes.
Express Courier is usually with TOLL PRIORITY couriers and can be left with no signature required, so you are not required to be at home.
Delivery by express courier is usually 1-2 days to most areas in Australia, but delivery to remote areas may take longer.
Using Express Post or Courier also gives you a tracking number to trace your order.
Express Post is charged at a flat rate of $9.50 per order to Australia only, using Australia Post
Express Courier is charged at $15 per order (Australia only)
DO I HAVE TO BE HOME FOR MY ORDER TO BE DELIVERED?
No, just put in the comments box at checkout what you would prefer be done with the parcel (ie: leave at door)
If your parcel is sent by Australia Post, they may leave if they deem it is safe, or may card for pick up at your local post office.
If your parcel is shipped with Couriers Please, the parcel will be left with no signature, or you can login to nominate an alternate address.
If your parcel is shipped with TOLL DX EXPRESS, the parcel will be left with no signature if safe to do so, or (rarely) may be carded for pickup at your local news agency.
NEW ZEALAND ORDERS
For New Zealand orders, you have the choice of tracking for $15, or shipping without tracking.
Shipping with tracking will normally be via Australia Post Pack and track service which receives a tracking number. Please ensure NZ addresses are valid for NZ Post delivery, and note that customs clearance may delay your order, so we cannot guarantee a timeframe for delivery.
If your order is required in New Zealand in under two weeks, we recommend shipping with tracking.
Parcels normally reach the Auckland or Wellington regions within 5-7 business days, however other areas of New Zealand can take longer. Again, any delays at customs are out of our control, unfortunately. We will certainly pack and ship your order same or next business day, and email when shipment is sent.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
All International orders (except free New Zealand shipping) are shipped by Australia Post's Air Mail Pack and Track service (where available to your country).
Tracking will be provided for parcels thicker than 2cm. Tracking is not available to some countries. We are able to deliver to post office boxes and street addresses that are serviced by the postal service in your country.
Please note that certain products are not able to be shipped to international destinations due to international customs regulations. The product page will state this information if this is the case. Also, we are not able to ship to countries that pose a high risk of credit card fraud.
Most international orders arrive within two to three weeks, and often they arrive much sooner. In some cases delays at customs may delay the order. Unfortunately, any delay after we have shipped your order is totally out of our control for international orders.
The international shipping rates are weight-based. The weight of any item can be found on its product detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full 500g. Please feel free to contact us (shop@travelgear.com.au) if you feel the postage rates are not what you expected based on your products - sometimes the calculator gets it wrong!
Standard International delivery charges can be estimated from your shopping basket page before you proceed with the order.

Description
Description
The CARES® restraint system helps to ensure the safety of your children when travelling by aircraft.
CARES® (Child Aviation REstraint System) is a harness type belt, which quickly and easily slips over aeroplane seats, and together with the lap seatbelt, provides a safe and effective five-point restraint for your child.
The CARES® is portable, lightweight and easy to use. It is installed on a seat in less than one minute, and easy to carry on board. It is certified by aviation authorities around the world (including Australia - CASA). CARES® is the only restraint system that is certified for take-off, taxiing, turbulence and landing. It provides the equivalent level of safely as a car seat.
It is suitable for children weighing 10–20kg, (approx 1–5 years) and keeps them secure in the event of turbulence, regular and emergency landings, taxiing and during takeoff. Just like a regular seatbelt for adults, it is recommended that you keep your belts on whenever you are in your seat, for your own safety.
An added bonus is that your child may be easier to settle, as the CARES® harness feels just like their normal carseat, and they know the routine of being strapped in. Often this makes children feel more secure, and more likely to sleep on long flights! It also means that even if you are travelling with your bulky car seat, it can be checked in as luggage and you can pick it up at the other end hassle free.
The fact is that holding a child on your lap is just not safe. In turbulence, or emergencies, they can easily be hurt by flying through the cabin, as well as injuring others. As strong as a parents love is, it will not hold your child when extreme forces are at play. Flight attendants are taught to secure all loose items, to avoid injuring passengers and themselves, and a child is no different in an aeroplane.
Nine years ago CARES® was invented and patented by Louise Stoll, a grandmother, who watched her 7-months pregnant daughter disembark a plane with a wriggling toddler on her hip, a nappy bag in her hands and a car seat slung over her shoulder. Stoll took one look at the situation and knew that “there had to be a better way!”
To date, more than 70,000 CARES® have been sold worldwide. The multi-award-winning child aviation seatbelt is now available in Australia and New Zealand.
