Can you help? We’ve been contacted by a local midwife who has a whānau in urgent need of a car seat suitable for their newborn. This midwife has already reached out to all the groups they can think of! Do you have a car seat that could go to a new home and support a local baby? Let us know! Also keen to hear of suggestions for organisations that may have car seats to pass on. Please share with your friends and networks!
