Hi BW,

We used both types. at first we had the capsule, but i found it too tricky getting in and out of the car, and also, my back and stomach muscles were pretty weak after the pg, and i found taking out the whole thing too strenuous, but i guess if i stuck with it, it may have gotten easier! also, DD didnt like the angle, she born with a fair bit of mucus and for the first month and a bit was a bit phlemgy. so we made the switch to the reversible car seat and haven't looked back (they sit up a bit). i have found transferring bubs from seat to bassinette on the pram really easy, especially as a newborn. she would barely rouse.

for the pram we have the bugaboo (gecko model) and havent looked back. we used the bassinette for 6 months which was great as she slept really well in there and it was nice to have her facing us (especially if she went psycho at the shops! LOL!). the fact that the pram then converts into a stroller style is also really great. she was in the facing us position until a couple of weeks ago, but has decided that she is a big girl and now prefers to face outwards, although in this position we have found it trickier to get her to sleep as she wants to look around.

HTH! and good luck with all the buying!
