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.
We hired ours from our local council it was a safe and sound one cost $45 to hire with a refundable $50 bond, i worked out that if i bought one and had three kids it still was more than hiring it three times so that's why we chose to hire.
My DS loved his and I must admit it was so easy when he was in that especially for quick trips like to the shop to get milk i got leave him in it put him down safely while i paid etc and didn't have to worry about a pram. Hiring it was great as i didnt have to worry about storing it later either
