How much does a 'standard' 600mm x 900mm paving slab weigh
(approximately)? I want to know so I can guesstimate how many I can
put in the back of my car.

If you're talking about the pressed granite sort used by local
authorities, I always reckon that a 2x2 weighs a hundredweight, and
a 3x2 a hundredweight and a half.

On that basis, one of your 600x900 (nearly a 3x2) will be about 70Kg.

Thanks, so about a person per slab, maybe two lots of 5 would be
sensible then.

I don't think I'd want to carry 5 at once in my car. OK, they weigh about
the same as 5 people - but you'll still presumably have a driver?! Also, the
distribution is likely result in far more load on the back wheels than when
you have 5 people in the car.

For most cars, 3 at a time would probably be a sensible limit.
