    We only have a rear facing Safe-n-Sound, but in hindsight I should have got a capsule. I didn't realise you could hire them that cheaply. Although the SnS says its suitable from birth, our DD looked lost in it, and it did seem a bit big for her in the first few weeks (she was 3.18kg at birth, so not too tiny). Lucky we didn't go out much! Now that she is nearly 6kgs I feel much happier, but i hate waking her to get her out of the car.....

    Yeah, Nicholas WAS a tiny baby 5lbs 1oz, and I wouldn't have been happy to put him in the Meridian at that size. He took ages to get bigger too. He stayed in his capsule until about 3 weeks ago. It was so handy for running in and out of shops without waking him, as everyone says. And you can still have two hands free!

    I will be doing what Lucy has, although I think he will be in the Meridian for longer than 12 months. I think that's okay, isn't it Lucy? Alot of people use the convertible car seats until 2 or more don't they? Is there a difference in safety between the Meridian and the Maxi Rider after 12 months?

    You can't be too cautious with this sort of stuff I say. If he's bored looking backwards, then that's tough!
