We used a capsule until around 5 1/2 months. They are actually the safest to use. However... if you don't like it... we have the safe n sound car seat (the reversible one) which is the Meridian AHR .. that's the head restraint thing which I can't remember how they describe it all. Anyway, we got that when he outgrew the capsule and it's fabulous. Comes with baby insert for when they are little and they can face rearward until 12kg and front up to 18 kg. Got it from Babies Galore from memory. I think they're around the $500ish???
