we have teh meridian convertable, from birth to 18 kgs, our DD is still in it til the next one comes in feb, then she will go into the newer maxirider til 7ish, which suits from 8kg to 26 i think?
it depends if you want to use the capsule for afew months, remember they get heavy!
i think that sales chick was pretty much saying to use the capsule then the maxirider, but kids need to be backward to 1, the capsule wont last that long

tears of joy the difference is the AHR head protection in the new one
