Made those first 6 months a breeze! – I bought this to go with me Valco Snap 4 stroller and it has made the transition from car to home sooooo easy especially when bub is fast asleep. I love the removable padding for when bub gets bigger so they can grow with it and it's easy to install and move the seat belt straps when you need to. I chose it for it's weight as well as it seems to be one of the lighter ones in the market. I recommend it to all new Mums.  Show reply

Convenient but small baby looks uncomfortable – This capsule is easy to carry. It is compatible with our pram (Valco baby snap 4) using an extra adapter. My husband did the installation without any issues. Our baby fit securely inside the capsule. My only negative was that bub looked really uncomfortable when he was using it for the first 2 months or so. He was a small baby of 2.91kg. The V of… Read more

the seat might be too deep / sharp for small babies. It didn't look very ergonomic for his small body.

Great Product! – This capsule was real useful and it has been great to use for our second baby. When we traveled our baby always feel comfort which make our journey easy and enjoyable. I have also recommended my cousin to buy capsule for her new baby due in July 2018.. It is great product!

Great when newborn only – This capsule was great in the first month when my daughter slept a lot because you can take the capsule out of the car without waking baby. It was easy to use with a release handle at the back of capsule to release out from the base and the straps easy to adjust. The capsule itself was easy to install into the car. However as she got older she… Read more

didn’t seem to look as comfortable and cried the whole time, which may be just her. As baby gets bigger it is quite heavy to carry around as well.

love it! – I bought a used 1 on gumtree in 2013 when I had my first baby. Baby would always sleep better in the capsule than anywhere else. Maybe because it was snug and cosy. I lent it to my brother in law when he had is baby. Baby got attached to the capsule so I couldn't have it back when I had 2nd child, I bought another 1. I got the a couple of… Read more

different prams to attach the capsule to so baby was easily transferred from car to pram without waking them up. Some of the other capsules were a bit small so baby would grow out of it too quickly. I found this one to be a good size wasn't too big or small and fits well in my tiny hatchback.

Love this capsule! – I hired this capsule for my newborn and it's been fantastic. Despite being a small baby he fits nicely and he seems comfortable. It's not too heavy even with baby in it and I love the fact it has a proper sun shade, so many capsules have such flimsy shades but this one actually works. It's very easy to get in and out of the car.

Great NCAP but hard to fit – Agree with all the other reviews as I find the capsule very handy and i have purchased a adapter for pram so its very good in that regard. However, having had fitted 6 chairs over the years i find this to be the most difficult. While it snaps in and out no problem you have to put in a harness to the front of it when in the car which has to… Read more

loosened and readjusted every time for a snug fit. THen when popping off you have loosen it. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PLUS more importantly it does not sit nicely as the seatbelt strapping pushes the seat up on the left side, so you have to buy a metal lap sach adapter to have the seat sit nice and tight (have not tried this yet but as with the other seats will have to buy this again). This seat should have of come with it as i can guarantee 95% of people do not have this seat fitted properly due to the lift from seat belt.

Also i have a huge Landcruiser 200 so fit is no problem

My favourite baby purchase!! – Loved this product! Used it until my daughter was 11months - her shoulders were still under the line and she's not a little baby -75th percentile for height. When I first bought it I thought it was heavy to carry but once I got used to it and hung it in the crook of my arm, I often wouldn't even bother with the pram. My daughter loved it,… Read more

you could tell she was super cosy in there, and slept really well in it.

I bought this because I have a 2 door car and it I'd much easier to pull this capsule out through the front door, with baby safe and comfy inside than me trying to get in the back and pull her out. There would have been no chance of her staying asleep.

The only small downside is at the peak of summer her back hot or a little sweaty in it, but she didn't seem to mind.

Although I would not recommend it as I'd assume the manufacturer would not, I used to lodge it in the child seat part of the shopping trolley, save me pushing a pram and the trolley. Coincidentally it fit quite well, and as I wasn't pushing the trolley around like a maniac it was always quite safe in there.

Love love love this product, couldn't recommend more.

Good capsule, great price – Much cheaper than other capsule, and does the job! It's lightweight, has good safety ratings, easy to use and comfy for the baby when it isn't too hot. The sunshade is very handy. Cheap compared to other brands. A difficulty is to find an adaptor for prams. The fabric isn't all too great, baby sweats a lot when it's hot, if needed in a warm… Read more ·  1

climate, like ours in central NSW, it is worth considering a more breathable fabric in which bub stays cool. When my son grew out of it I bought a convertible seat with a breathable thermo5 fabric and never found him sweaty anymore.

Very safe capsule and easy to use – Fabulous - bought for third and last baby and wish I'd had it for all three. Easy to carry, lightweight, and rates equal or higher than more expensive competitors for safety (look at how safe is your car seat site). Much better value than most capsules and snaps into stroller easily (perfect when they fall asleep as can transfer without waking).… Read more

Thoroughly recommend the capsule and the compatible stroller, for ease of use, value and (very importantly) safety. The only annoying thing is very few baby shops stock it - I ended up buying sight unseen (nervously!) online but am not disappointed. Bub is 5 months now and average size, can see it still lasting another 2-3 months at least, and can use stroller on own after that.y

Safest as per Creps website – Love it. We purchased this seat after reviewing options on the CREPS website. [link removed] They crash test seats and the snap n go was shown to be one of the safest options providing higher protection in critical areas. Easy to get in and out of the car, but as with all capsules, it is big and takes up a lot of space. It fits comfortably In… Read more

We had to special order it through Baby Bunting as they don't have it in stock.

First baby capsule combo for first born – This was my first baby car capsule and stroller combo product I purchased for my first born and it was perfecto!. I was able to take my newborn son from my home to anywhere (Hospitals, doctors, shopping and outings) by simply placing my baby into his capsule and "snapping" it into the car and taking the carrier out of the car and again "snapping"… Read more

it into the pram, then off we went without disturbing his sleep.

The best thing I love about this product is that I can actually carry it myself being of a petite size I am able to carry the carrier and assemble the pram myself.

The pram itself is relatively small and compact in comparison to the other *higher end pram* which look good but are (some) a little bulky. This pram can fit down shopping isle without any problems. With that said, it does fit into my mazda3 hatchback perfectly fine and easy to fold away.

There are a few downfalls to this product one being that the material in the car capsule is not breathable and it heats up easily making my little one's back quite hot and sweaty at times (my baby was a summer baby).

The second downfall is that sometimes the capsule does not always "snap" into the pram straight on, sometimes I would need to put it at an angle and whatnot to try and get it in, other times it would just fit right in.

The pram itself is not reversible, the only way you can have you baby face you is have the capsule in. The cost, inexpensive, lighter than I thought, perfect for newborns up to 4yo Baby's back can get hot and sweaty easliy, the snap system from car to pram can take a few goes to get it in, not reversible handles.

Can't imagine life without it – After doing a bit of research we decided on the Babylove Snap n Go capsule, and we have not been disappointed. I love having the option of taking the baby straight out of the seat or taking the whole capsule out if he's asleep. When he was a couple of months old we ended up buying the compatible stroller as well, and that makes things a lot easier… Read more

- instead of having to take him out of the capsule and wake him up to get him in the pram you can just lift the whole capsule unit and slot it into the pram base.

We have a Mazda 3 and it fits easily in the back behind the passenger seat, although the front passenger seat can't be too far back. This wasn't really and issue for us as neither of us is particularly tall, although if you did have long legs the reduced legroom might be a bit annoying.

The base unit is a bit fiddly to get in (we had it fitted professionally to begin with), and you really don't want to be taking it out and putting it back in often. We only drive one car regularly so it wasn't an issue for us, but there is the option to buy a second base to have ready to go in another vehicle.

All in all I would definitely recommend this capsule. My son is about to grow out of it (at 8 months), and I am sad to have to change him to a forward facing seat! Convenience (being able to life the whole unit out and slot it into the compatible pram), Comfortable for baby, well priced. Shade hood is a little flimsy and stops handle bar going right over the back, can be a bit tricky to adjust strap tension when in vehicle.

Fits into nissan dualis middle – I hired this carrier for 6 months after hours of searching for a carrier that would fit into my nissan dualis without having the front seat pushed right forward to the dash, No rear facing seat would fit and every carrier at baby bunting also didnt fit! its the only one that would fit and have the option of putting it in either the passenger or… Read more

middle and allow space for a front passenger!, I also have a for year old in a booster next to the carrier and fits well while also leaving the back passenger free if required.

Best way to optimise space, i nearly brought a new car untill i came across this carrier ! saved heaps of time, stress and money. Small, safe and fits in Nissan dualis, leaving space

Awful product - consider something else first – This unit did not fit well in our car (standard station wagon). We had to use a towel behind the unit to help it to fit snugly. The capsule is awkward to get in and out of the car and it is equally as difficult to leave the unit attached and just get the baby in and out. Check the harness carefully if you intend buying, as we discovered a fault… Read more

with a twisted strap which could not be corrected at home. If we untwisted the strap, it meant the buckle was pointing the wrong way and the buckle couldn't be adjusted. Seemed to be the most lightweight of various models around, but still very unwieldly. Heavy, unwieldly, poorly designed, impractical.

Fantastic!! Easy travel system – Wish we had this for our first two babies!! bought the babylove capsule and pram combo travel system for number 3, and so sad he's now grown out of it. Loved being able to lift him straight from car into pram, especially for school drop off and pick ups for the older two. The hood of the capsule and the hood of the stroller pulled up to meet… Read more

together, which meant bubs was warm and cosy in winter and can be well shaded in summer. The rocking aspect of the capsule meant he could be gently rocked to sleep with capsule sitting on the floor too. Our baby reached the 9kg max at 6months, so if you have a big baby like we did could be better to hire the capsule rather than buy....although if having more than one baby would definitely be worth buying. A great capsule overall! Good price, good safety rating, ease of use was great Capsule itself quite heavy even without baby in it, once there's a hefty bub inside its hard to carry far without the pram.

Wonderful – We hired this capsule which was the best decision ever. I loved being able to get the baby in and out of the car without waking him. If he did wake, the advantage of this capsule over others is the curved base, so we could rock him back to sleep with ease. During the day, my baby slept in the capsule, even out of the car, better than he'd sleep… Read more

anywhere else in the house. We used a pram liner for extra comfort. It was really easy to snap in and out of the car. You can also strip off the cover and fully clean the entire thing, that is a bonus if the need arises. Once he grew out of the capsule he went straight into the Ezy Switch Combo, so we won't have to buy another car seat for him ever. Baby went to sleep in it every time - and stayed asleep.

Very Convenient – I love this Baby capsule, its very easy to get in and out of the car and convenient as it snaps straight onto the pram. We. Bought the Red and Black version of this capsule for a bit of extra style ! The only nothing I have to complain about I'd that the hood seems quite flimsy. Easy to use, resonably priced and light to carry Hood Flimsy

Great capsule espcially with the matching stroller! – Excellent capsule. Bubs loves falling asleep in it and its no problem if he does as we can just carry him out of the car and into the house! Or since we bought the matching snap n go stroller, we could just attach it to the stroller and off we go! The stroller is great and really affordable to buy brand new and I reccomend doing so! When capsule… Read more

is attached to the stroller, you can open up both hoods and bubs is basically cocooned in! Great for protecting a newborn from the elements.

Apparently this is one of the lightest capsule around and it is also one of the most affordable to hire. I don't reccomend buying one as it will only last 6mths max. (my son got too heavy for me after 4 1/2mths at 8kgs and it only cost us around $60 to hire. Compared to buying which i think is RRP $250?). Very sad to return the capsule. Will definately hire again when having another baby! Lightweight. Comes as a travel system. Looks great

Couldn't have done without it – This capsule is easy to use in and out of the car. We also have the snap and go stroller. It takes a bit of practice to snap it in and out of the stroller but once you get the hang of it its fine. Sturdy and comfortable for baby. We took the capsule everywhere...fine dining restaurants, friend's houses, etc. It was nice for baby to have a place… Read more

to sleep when we were out and about. Expensive. We hired ours from Hire for Baby for $99 for 6 months. You don't really need it after that unless you are going to have more kids.

Super easy and light weight – Best decision we made was purchasing this baby capsule. So light weight and easy to use. Great for when bubs was asleep and I had to pop in and out of shops or visiting friends. eBay to adjust the straps at different growth these. Material was easy to clean. Great in shade protector for driving and out and about. Also when out of the car the base… Read more

of the carrier has a rocking feature so bubs cold easily go back to sleep. Light weight, great color and sun shade a bonus

My favourite by far – My husband and I bought this capsule for our fifth child and we wished we had got it for our older children. It is easy to use and has a lot of room for bub. The hood is great for shielding sun from bubs eyes and it is absolutely wonderful when used as part of the travel system. I love this capsule, I looked at lots of other capsules before… Read more

deciding on this one. This one had a narrower base than other capsules available and is so easy to install and use. The fabric was really easy to clean and I found it didn't attract dirt or fluff and was made from good quality material. Hmmmm, I can't think of anything.

Brilliant! Made my life so much easier – Absolutely loved the ease of this capsule. Transporting our sleeping baby from car to cot was a breeze and I never had to wake him up when doing preschool and school drop- offs. When used for the third, this capsule and it's corresponding travel system is not a luxury but a necessity! My boy slept very well in this capsule. Wish I had this for… Read more

my two other children! Very very safe! I had a car accident when my boy was 3 months old - side impact then head-on with oncoming traffic. So two impacts and yet my little one was perfectly fine - no injuries at all! Would definitely recommend this. Plus it is one of the lightest on the market and it doesn't come with the expensive price tag that many others have. It is easy to install, easy to click in and out, and easy to carry. the hood didn't come down far enough (but $20 on an extra sun shade solved that problem plus the buttons could be undone at the back to lower the shade further)

Wish I had it for the First Child - Love it – Fantastic baby capsule. So easy taking baby in and out of the car with out waking. I only wish i had one of these for my first child. Perfect for kinder drop off/pick up or other quick trips in and out of the car. Easy to install base, easy to click capsule into base and one lever pull to release. Does get quite heavy to carry with a growing baby… Read more ·  1

in, however in researching capsule before buying i found this to be one of the lightest around. I used the snap-n-go stroller with the capsule which was great to avoid carrying a heavy capsule. I used this capsule until my baby was 11 months old and was very sad when i had to move her out of the capsule as it had been so great to use. Easy to use, great for not waking a sleeping baby in and out of the car, removable machine washable covers, can be used with snap-n-go stroller as a travel system. Gets heavy to carry with a growing baby (as do all capsules)

Very easy to use & safe for my baby – I borrowed this from a friend & found it very useful when my baby was very little. The straps were so easy to use & adjust. It was very easy to take the capsule in & out of the car while baby was still sleeping. You can use the capsule as a rocker when you are out & about. My baby seemed very comfortable in this capsule. Very easy to use. Has… Read more

a hood which helps with sun glare. It was very hard to install the base in the car, I ended up getting a professional to do it for me.

Made life so much easier – We were going to hire this capsule but ended up buying one 2nd hand for the same price. Made life so much easier with our baby, he slept so well in it especially since he had reflux and slept better up right. Only problem is I think it contributed to his flat head from sleeping in it so much. Im not sure I would use it again for this reason.

Great capsule! – Great capsule. Looks nice, comfy for baby, lightest one I found in shops. My baby loves this, sleeps as well in it in car or pusher as she does in bed. Stays asleep between car and pusher or while being carried short distances. Easy to adjust straps and to install in car. Pretty easy to 'snap' into both the car seat and pusher although can be a… Read more

little annoying - is still better than waking bub. I hired given it's not used for long, but good value to buy compared to others and has excellent safety rating. LOVE this capsule. Easy to use, light, comfortable, safety rating, good value, travel system means bub stays asleep! Still heavy to carry very far and centre bar needs two hands to move

Good – We bought this for its safety rating. I think all capsules get heavy to carry as baby's get bigger but this one was lightest in in the shop (empty). It does have a travel system but only for some prams - if it had one that adjusted to several prams it would get 5 stars from me. Rated as safest on the RTA web page, has a rocker base, low sided so… Read more

allows a bit more airflow in summer, has sun shade, handle is coated for better grip (bit softer too) Fitting it to the car was a bit of a nightmare... bad instruction booklet, can get heavy to carry and is a little awkward to carry.

Excellent – We hired ours from Hire for Baby at a third of the cost to buy one. Loved the capsule and pram combo. Worked well for us. One of the lightest capsules and safest according to reviews. Looks really good sitting in the matching pacer pram. You can access the basket really well and the capsule keeps baby up at a good height when walking around… Read more

Our first and best baby gear! – Yes, this one was the first baby gear we bought for our first son. We just loved it. Now we upgraded to a different one due to the weight issue. However, this is a really great baby gear. This capsule helps the newborn to fall in sleep very quickly when you are travelling. We sometimes used it as a bassinet if our son had problem of sleeping… Read more

during night time. If you carry him or her on this capsule his or her sleep will not be disturbed at all. The price of this capsule is also great in compare to other products available in the market. Overall we were very happy with this purchase. Good value of money
