Capsule for newborn vs carseat

[Lucy]

I am not sure where you are, but like Cass suggests, hiring a capsule to see how you go with it may be an option. In SA it is the Red Cross Safety Stores that hire out baby capsules, & in the NT it is done through the TIO. (It is around $65 for a 6 month hire.)

HI, Obviously I have no prior experience, but I have read what you all have written, and I have been shopping around, I am going the car seat, originally it was purley for cost. I know I can always hire a capsule if need be. I personally would be wary of borrowing any car seat or capsule even from a friend, Just because it's easier than fiding out later that that restraint had been in a car accident.

The car seat I want is one that has a turn around function that makes it easier to get bubs out. Plus when your looking at quality car seats they are about the smae price.
