Like Amysarah, I bought the Peg Perego viaggo capsule but with the Peg Perego Skate pram. It is really easy to click onto the pram! If you don't like the skate they are compatible with all Peg Perego prams.
To be honest, the only issue I have with the capsule is that it is a bit heavy (that's without the baby!) so I think I'll be using it with the pram most of the time or otherwise DP will have to carry it I bought the capsule and pram when there was a sale on and they came together for $1500 but by themselves I think add an extra $2-300, not too sure! The capsule claims to be approved for babys up to 13kg...but really, it depends how "long" baby is, so you will have to get another car seat eventually.
So I guess it's a bit of a risk spending money on it when you can't judge how much use baby will get out of it. If you like the idea of a capsule you can always hire one. The sling also sounds like a great idea. Being a first time mummy I think I will just go with trial and error and try everything out lol
Oh and it's never too early to start planning! I'm 13 weeks atm and have got the pram and seat sorted! How fun is baby shopping! Good luck xox
My brother and his wife got one of these for my nephew, and never used it properly because they felt that it meant they never got enough cuddles! (Getting a snuggly warm sleepy baby out of the car onto your shoulder is a treat I miss too, to be honest!)
I had a bog standard car capsule, which we hired each time. They were only in it such a comparatively short time.
For me, the $$ is probably best spent on a really comfy car seat that they can be in post 9kg and a decent/active stroller and a sling/carrier.
Amy, I got them in "Moka"- nice neutral and boring! (My DP refuses to push/carry anything bright and showy ) I suppose it won't get dirty as easily...well show the dirt and muck as easily lol
I love the aqua colour also! I saw it on the advertisement and it looks so pretty. Oh well, I got the pram I wanted so the least I could do was let him choose the colour. Now this baby better like it. One of my sisters who is 3 years old, hated being in a pram from day one, so I'm hoping my little one will like it!! (sometimes I think I'm buying these things for me and not the bub )
We had a travel system (Baby Love Primo) but hated it & sold it on ebay as soon as we could!! The capsule was heavy, he couldn't sty in it for long & it was just a pain. This time round it is so much easier to get my DD out of the car & put her in her carrier or pram & not bother with lugging a heavy capsule around all the time. Another point for me was that I had an emergency c/s so I wasn't allowed to carry anything heavier than my DS for the first 6 weeks so he was put in & out of the capsule anyway!
