If safety is your issue then the safe and sound capsule is actually the "safest" car restraint for newborns due to it's 2 part system and how it reacts in an accident (the capsule actually sinks into the base altering the angle that the baby ends up in and spreads the load more evenly over the whole body). It is also smaller than a car seat in the rearward facing position by a good few inches. Have you thought of hiring a capsule for 6 months then going for the meridian car seat when baby can go forward? This would solve all your problems by having baby in the safest travel system possible and the good seat fitting cos when you turn it forward it won't take half the space that rearward facing does. HTH
I havn't picked our seat up from layby yet, but both our local baby shops agreed that not many seats would fit in the reverse newborn position. We have a turn a tot on layby, the only reason the turn a tot should fit is because in that position you can take the extra head rest off and put it back on when the seat goes into normal mode.
Good luck
although if you have the seat already there is no reason why it won't fit in normal mode so maybe hire a capsule from your local council until your bubs is bigger.
