Which Capsule?

[briggsy's girl]

yeah i'll agree with Olive - i only paid around 350 for the Meridian (was on special)

Thanks girls

DH & I looked at the meridian and it was just under $500 I think? That wasn't on sale or anything.... FIL said she bought it online so maybe she paid extra for that or has gotten something else to go with it
Would be nice to know but FIL has no clue & as she won't speak to us yet I just can't be bothered attempting to call her.... I guess using the capsule first we have time after bub is born if we need to change it etc
I was going to go with the S&S brand for the capsule so will have to start checking them out

we have the s&s unity capsule and im a bit in love with it found it so handy having a toddler as well and Milly stays asleep in it and looks so comfy and cosy.

I have the sns unity capsule and profile stroller as it clicks onto that. It has been great, my dd is still in it at 18.5months, though she not a big girls she is small for age, 76cm and 9.5 kilos. I am actually not looking forward to changing seats as it becomes squish when we put the next seat in. Plus if I put her carseat reward dh can't drive the car. The unity fits well in my car and i love that it can go on the stroller etc.

Holly, I'm lead to believe that the 'old-style' SNS capsules are rated 'safest'. That's what we used for DS (but a new and updated version ), and like Olive, we loved it! Will be doing the same this time around too. We moved on to a Meridian for DS, which he is still in, and have been very happy with that too . Before long though he will be in a Maxi-Rider.

we used the S&S old style capsule (newer model like Olive ) I used it for DD & DS & found it so handy (but heavy) I also heard the older style S&S are meant to be the "safest" capsule on the market so that also had something to do with it. I was actually going to get the unity for DS as it looks so comfy but was advised to stick to DD's old one as its meant to be safest.

Our meridian cost around $500... maybe even $550? Obviously some places have them cheaper than others.

Dont forget about the maxi rider which is also S&S & it fits up to 7yrs which your little man will now need (as far as I know) until he's 7yrs old. It takes from 6 months so if you're looking at having bubba in the capsule for 6 or so months maybe think about the maxi rider? They have it with AHR now aswell, just like in the meridian, which is what I got DD so DS could use her old meridian when he outgrew her old capsule.

Just thought I'd mention the maxi rider so you can do some further research

Hope it all works out with you MIL's purchase xx

We have the peg perego capsule but only because it is the one that fits on the skate pram.....in all honesty the safe n sound or peg are much of a muchness I think......the pg perego does have a very good levelling system for fitiing in the car however and the man who installed and fitted it for us last week did comment that the peg was his favourite in terms of safety fit and ease of use...so I dunno... we also have a meridian to swap to when he bigger, it will go in DH's car for now for the occasional time he might need to take the boy somewhere.....

We too used the peg perego capsule that goes with the skate pram. It says it can be used up to 9kgs but I found that DS was only around 8kg if that, and only 4 months old when the straps were just too tight to fit anymore Maybe he was just all chub though and no length! Was a shame because we really liked it and had hoped to get more use out of it. It's lovely and padded, clicks onto the pram easily and has a sun protector hood thingy. The handle clicks into 3 positions - one to carry, one for the car and one to steady it on the floor. One con though is that it is a bit heavy, but really that is pretty irrelevant if you are just taking it from car to pram or car to house...
