Child - Yes, the pram has D rings and the cocoon has velcro to loop through it (or the other way around, I can't remember now!!). Some sales assistants just don't know all the ins and outs of the equipment which is why sites lik this are handy because you find out about it all from people that actually use them.

Ellee - Absolutely. I pretty much used the cocoon non-stop in those first few weeks. He was comfy and cosy and warm in the cocoon and I just put him down somewhere safe wherever I went in the house. We even put it in the middle of us in our bed on the odd occasion too. In these first few weeks it is far more convenient to have them in a portable carrier to keep them close-by.
