Wide to me doesnt really matter since the isles in places are made for wheelchair access.

To everyone wanting to fit the old DLX capsule to the new pram, we were having a play around with it in the store the other day, they didnt have the new strider 4 capsule so I went to put the DLX one on and couldnt get it to fit.

The sales lady was as useless as a wet wig and just stood there and shrugged, she couldnt get it to attach either. So I dont know if it was something being done wrong, which it aint that hard, I dont know if it is my useless pregnant brain, but I told DH to have a look next week at it. We have the old DLX capsule given to use and wanted to use it.

I took both the DXL & the Plus for a test-stroll around the shop today & have to say the steering has greatly improved! It did seem very bulky, & I don't know if it fits in the car yet, so we'll test that later.

DH is set on it as he's in love with the capsule & not waking the baby. Personally, I didn't think waking a baby was all that much of a trauma when compared to short-term use of the capsule, & needing to buy a bigger car seat later anyway. But we'll see...

ETA: Don't you have to take the baby out of the capsule once you get home anyway? won't that wake the baby? and I have a sling that I intend to use, so won't be using the stroller as much as DH thinks... Again, we'll see...

I loved using a travel system, we used a capsule for 10 months then went straight to a maxi rider which does up to 27kg, which suits the new laws in qld. I took it out of the car at home to and put it on the floor in the loungeroom until DD woke up again. Also came in handy when out at peoples places and stuff, I used to put DD to sleep in the capsule and just carry her to the car when we went home. Short trips and around the house I used a sling.
