Awesome thread! I needed advice about car seats. Just a quick question - does anyone know the difference between the safe-n-sound compaq and the safe-n-sound compaq delux? I can't seem to see as many places selling the safe-n-sound compaq.
Ruth - The Safe-N-Sound Compaq Deluxe comes with a sun-hood and messy mat (the mat that goes underneath to protect your car's seat. The non-Deluxe version doesn't come with the accessories, just the basics (it should include the newborn insert though), the fabric is different too. So basically it has less bells & whistles LOL.
If I were doing it again from scratch, I'd hire a Safe'nSound capsule for the first 6-9 months or however long they fit in it, then go onto a Safe'n'Sound Maxi Rider.
WIth bub number 3, I actually brought the unity capsule and have loved it, she still fits in at 10+ months. And is so easy to lift in and out the car. Not sure how it would work with a two door car though. I think she will be in it till at least 1, she is not a huge baby though, just under 8kg and 68cm at 10 months.
I have the safe n sound compaq deluxe in my corolla sportivo (hatchback).It fits comfortably behind the passenger seat with enough leg room for my DH who is 5'11
