    My sister gave me her capsule and we bought a car seat for the other car as we knew we'd need it at a later stage anyways. But..i think they both have their plus's. Capsule, if bubs is sleeping you can get them out of the car without disturbing them and just leave them in the capsule. Also if you go somewhere, like a friends place.. they can use it as somewhere to sleep. (re the curved spine.. we did that for Jesse and my sister did with her kids and their backs are all fine.. when you hold bubs or they sit in a bouncer, their back isnt completely straight either.. plus theyre curved in the whomb?).. Downer, is that theyre bloody heavy! DH has a commodore and the car seat goes in the middle of the car. Lugging the capsule in and out when bubs starts to put on some weight is a biatch. We ended up just using the car seat in the commodore and the capsule is now under Jesse's cot. So, if it were me and i was to purchase from scratch, id just go with the car seat. Like a cradle, it only gets used for a few months, if that, youre going to need the car seat later anyways when they grow out of the capsule.. id spend the extra couple of hundred the capsule costs on something else for bubs or use it on a better car seat :wink:
