I've just recently bought the Select and plan on using the capsule and or bassinet with my newborn but I have seen loads of mums with newborns in the seats without a worry! They recline really well so the baby is pretty much flat anyway.

I'll be using the capsule because it's easy to transfer - DD didn't transfer well so I'm not risking it this time I wasn't going to get the bassinet but I bought my pram from the States so the bassinet only cost about $80 so I thought why not

Nae - the Select seats can face you or outwards, even with two kids on board
