I have read that the Fisher Price capsule avail from Target is made by the same company that do Safe n Sound Unity- just in diff colours/logo etc.
But the Hipod Delta Capsule and the Steelcraft Carrier Capsule are also on sale at Target.
They are all the same price (on sale) so I gather they are relatively equal, but before I purchase one, can anyone give me any recommendations, pros/cons?
Cheers!

Hi JellyBean - I have the Steelcraft Cruiser capsule. I really like it so far and Blake seems comfy in it. The major benefit of this capsule for us is that is is part of the Cruiser Travel System - we take the capsule out of the car and it clips straight onto the pram frame. Its been great to get out and about in eg to the shops, ABA meeting etc. I think the FP one may have a higher weight rating than the Cruiser (12kg instead of 9kg?) but i'm not sure.
i have the FP one and its great , DD was in it until 10 mths (she is small ) and it can go up to 12kg if you wnat to keep them rear facing , the capsule fit into my phil and teds and they go into the peg peragos as well :)
got it on sale , she would still be in it (11mths and 8kg) but DH insisted she go in a maxi rider ... but she looks sooo tiny in it .. but she would hate not being able to see me at her age now.
hi, i saw the hipod one goes up to a higher weight (12kg)
i was going to get one but have decided to just hire one now
the only thing i dind't like about the hipod was the colour, the red seems very intense
Hi all,
I ended up getting the Hipod- as it takes up to 12 kgs, and the lady at Target told me they are discontinuing the Fisher Price one!? Not sure if that is all Target stores.....
Bummer. I agree with you tellytubby about the colour- it would be nice if they had a softer unisex colour to go with the black- like a light green or something. Hopefully this rearward-facing bub will be too busy looking at my forward-facing DS!!

:bump:
The Steelcraft Cruiser Carrier and the Hipod Delta are on sale again. We are finding space a real issue in our car so looking at getting a capsule to begin with....I'm leaning towards the Hipod one as it is rated up to 12kg. Plus the prices of these as opposed to others on the market is very appealing. From my understanding the Hipod has replaced the F&P one that Target used to sell?
Just bumping the thread in case anyone has more feedback since it was first posted in July :)
I have the hipod and love it!
We have the FP one and the FP stroller (the Travel System) - just took it out of the box on the weekend, but it seems so easy to use. So far we're really pleased with it!
Yep, the Hipod one has replaced the FP one. I assume they are pretty much the same, just the fabric is different.
I have the FP one and the travel system pram to go with it. I recommend it to everyone! Really easy and so good not waking bub to get in and out of the car. DD used the capsule until she was 10 months.
I've been very happy with the steelcraft - DS is almost 9kg - so we are about to head to a rear facing child seat. Even if it was rated to 12kgs - he is almost to long and too wide for a capsule anyway (he's a chubba).
As an extra point - I put my capsule onto the new strider plus (a friend has one) and it fits!
Means when I go to a double pram I don't have to buy a new capsule and still have the benefit of a travel system!
Thanks for your feedback ladies! I grabbed the Hipod Delta this morning and am very happy with the extra room it gives us for the passenger seat, and will just change to our Meridian when needed. I figure if we end up having another bub it might not hurt to have both anyways :)
