we hired a capsule from the Red Cross and I'm so glad we didn't buy one, as at 7 weeks old, DD decided she hated it with a passion - she would scream the whole car journey - we borrowed Mum's car for a few days, as she has a convertable, just to see, and it definately was the capsule, so we took it back and bought a convertible from them instead.

This time, we're borrowing the Fisher Price capsule from a friend. If we weren't though, I would spend the extra and hire the more padded SNS (the Red cross one was just the grey bucket type). But I personally wouldn't buy a capsule.
