You can get a reversible seat or a capsule for newborns. We have opted for capsule and base first - its good for up to 13kg, at which point we will get a forward facing seat which goes to 18kg and the capsule will be used for baby number 2.

We have a two-door car and I wanted to be able to load bubs into the seat first and then put the seat into the car, especially when bubs is tiny and has no head control. The car seat can also snap onto the pram we bought which is convenient.
