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!
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
