Question 1

Capsules vs. Car Seats: What's the Difference?

Accepted Answer

Both keep your precious cargo safe on the road, but capsules have that brilliant "click and lift" portability that's a sanity-saver in those early months. Regular car seats typically stay fixed in your car and last longer as bub grows.

We also have capsules that work with your pram. They’re called pram travel systems, and you can mix and match what works best for you.

Question 2

How long can my baby stay in the capsule?

Accepted Answer

2 hours is an approximate guide but if there is an opportunity to move bub into a bassinet or flat surface earlier, then that is highly recommended. Also try to limit long drives with breaks to make sure the head position is correct and the chin is off the chest

Question 3

Can I use a capsule instead of a regular car seat?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely - for those first 6-12 months! Eventually though, your growing bub will need to graduate to a bigger seat.

Question 4

Are these things actually safe?

Accepted Answer

100%! Baby capsules meet strict safety mandates - which means under the Australian law they can't be sold unless they're licensed as safe for use. We recommend you use our instillation service for correct installation, and regularly check it's fitted correctly.

Question 5

What's the best capsule to buy?

Accepted Answer

The one that fits YOUR car and YOUR pram! Check compatibility first (matching brands often work best together), then consider weight (you'll be carrying it!) and ease of use when you're sleep-deprived and juggling a million things.
