Hi apple - my Feb belly buddy.

We used a capsule, one mother bought for her upcoming grandchildren. DD was only in it for 6-8 weeks, as the other ladies have said, it can get quite heavy lifting it in and out of the car.

Hire places seem to be your best bet. They even install it for you so hubby need not worry about that.

I must admit, it was nice to leave the hospital with DD snuggled in her capsule. But i am cautious seeing as we are having a Summer baby, about leaving them in there for too long - there is no air flow in the capsules and like someone else said, leaving them in there for too long can be dangerous.

Your doing the right thing though - and researching your options....
