    Holly what colour did you get? I absolutely love the colour "wave" (its aqua) but they aren't selling it in Australia!!

    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.

    JMHO!

    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!

    Oh no Sarah that's my only drawback - the heaviness! I guess only time will tell how useful it is to me.

    Amy, I didn't get a Bugaboo - I had been looking at them but DP said no way at the price. We saw them at Baby Bunting and they were $1700 just for the pram. Where did you see them for $1500?? So anyway I got the Peg Perego Skate together with the capsule all for $1500 both in Moka

    Ahhh ok!! Babies Galore had them for $1500. Online they are $1600 though.

    I'm getting a denim one (sooo pretty) and they are $1720 online at babies galore.
