Excellent infant carrier – I love this convenient infant carrier. My baby loves it too. It has comfortable room for baby lying in it. It can be used on pram, on car, even on carpet. I use it as a cradle and that makes baby laughing. Pretty light, easy to handle. Every infant deserves such a carrier.

Love love love it! – I purchased the pram and the capsule combo and I love it! The baby was snug and secure and never had a problem with his head coming forward. ( I had two babies go through this capsule/pram and both were comfortable). It's easy to adjust as bub grows and is fairly light weight (for a capsule with a bub in it). Highly recommended!

Uncomfortable, baby hated it – I hated this capsule from the first day we used it. When we put baby in it to take her home from the hospital we noticed that baby sits too upright in the capsule causing her head to fall forward so her chin sits down on her chest. Her head would fall forward and she she would slump forward and look really uncomfortable, then as we were driving… Read more

her head would bobble and bounce around like a little dashboard toy! We had the capsule professionally fitted by Kidsafe so it wasn't an operator error, it is a fault with the capsule.

The capsule is also very narrow and short, we don't have a particularly big baby (7 pound 13 oz or 3.5kg when born). These capsules are advertised as suitable up to 6 months but at 8 weeks we had already adjusted the straps to the largest setting and by 12 weeks I'm sure she will have completely outgrown this capsule.

Baby cries and screams as soon as we put her into this capsule and do her seatbelt up, making me think this capsule is indeed as uncomfortable as it looks. I purchased this capsule because it fits in my pram (Steelcraft Strider Plus) and being able to move the capsule from the car to the pram or take baby inside in the capsule is very convenient, although this can be done with many capsules so its not really a plus for this one in particular.

Overall I'm gravely disappointed with this capsule. There is a range of other capsules which also fit into this pram, I would highly recommend trying one of those and NOT this one! Matches the Steelcraft Strider Plus and Steelcraft Orion prams so baby can move from car to pram without having to disrupt or wake her up Expensive, too small, uncomfortable, baby's head falls forward when in it

Best thing we have bought!! – I absolutely love this capsule!! It is so secure and comfortable and is really easy to adjust. I feel really safe with my daughter in the car in this capsule which I really needed as a new mum. It was a little bit more to pay to have a capsule but so worth it. We live almost 2hours from town and don't have to worry about her slipping down or… Read more

moving around at all. I sat with her in the back seat on the way home from hospital and even on the really bumpy bits of road she didn't rock about at all. So so worth having the matching pram makes it so easy and can get her out without waking her - really easy clip at the front and you get really fast at the strap bit as well after a while. clips in really easy to the pram but you do need two hands. No complaints. Get properly fitted though as we had ours too tight which was actually making it unstable. So so convenient!!
