hi apple

i used a capsule for the first time with #3 and it was fantastic especially in respects of kinder drops offs and pick ups when bubs was always asleep, they are great - lani was in it until 6 mths (thats how long we hired it for) she was quite heavy to lug around at around 5mths up.

we hired one from our local council and it cost $70 with a $20 rebate once returned, it was clean and had the wool liner which was also nice and clean, i think i will definately have one again.

just a word if you are borrowing from a friend they now have proper belts on them like car seats, the ones with velcro aren't recommended i believe. also they say not to leave them in the capsule for more than 2hrs at a time but i must say there were some occassions when i would do drop off and park her buy the front door for pick up 3hrs later (mainly so i wouldn't forget her in those early sleep deprived days lol)
