yeah DD1 is in a safe n sound royale i think, its over 3 years old and the belt is getting hard to pull to tighten, and it is beginning to fray a small bit on the bit that you pull to tighten so i am thinking i will just get rid of it and get them both new ones. DD2 is in a hired safe n sound capsule atm. thanks for your advise.. i was kinda thinking that would be the case. though it does say you can use it from 8kg so just wanted to hear others opinions.
