    I saw the title and had a huge giggle
    Now that I have stopped laughing at you! Good questions hun!!!! I have the Safe n Sound Premier and it is great, it has lots of nice snuggly padding for a bubby and we love it, however now that we are going with no#2 I am definately getting a capsule!!!! Izzy can stay in the Premier for a bit longer, and then when bub outgrows the capsule I will get the Maxi Rider- they definately are raved about on here. Capsules are just so easy when bubs is already asleep and you are visiting etc. and you don't have to wake them up. We are either borrowing from a friend who we know didn't have an accident or hiring from a reliable place like Hire for Baby - there is one in Kew and Vermont South I think- just google the name hun. Councils also hire them out. I think they do some sort of testing to make sure it hasn't been in an accident - not sure how else they know! Might check their site, but all the girls at my mothers group got their capsules from H4B.

    One thing about the Premier and the other Safe n Sound seats. My girlfriend had her bub back in Jan and one day we were going to come to our place so I put her seat in our car to bring both bubs back I told her to go get the instructions in case it was tricky but told her I thought it would be ok. It was a Fisher Price seat from Kmart. Anyway turns out not only was it easy - it was EXACTLY the same as my seat for Izzy but with different branding on it. I couldn't believe it. Same factory in China obviously but they sew different badges on them and slightly different material. Ours was $300 at Baby Bunting on sale, hers was $170 at Kmart on sale and it is the SAME seat. Something to research and think about!
    HtH!
