I've just been out, and noticed for the first time that the tether straps on my Royale do go across the door a bit. Clearly not a major problem though if I haven't noticed before now!
They only come a few inches above the side of the seat, and certainly not high enough for them to be in the way.
If these are the best seats around, then surely a bit of strap in the way is a small price to pay for safety?
Yes we've bought a Safe n Sound Royale (from Kiwibaby) too, although we'll be using the capsule for a while yet. I was particularly impressed with their crash guarantee (if you have an accident, no matter how minor, they'll replace the car seat with a new one so you're assured it's still safe).
cool - sorry for kind of thread-jacking this but its great finding out what you guys already know!!
DH wants to know how easy it is to take out the safe n sound ones when they are in 'capsule' or newborn mode - obviously they'll be a lot heavier than a standard capsule so I guess they're designed to stay in the car at all times and not bought in and out!? Please let me know!
Also - what age child is normally 18kg (the limit on these carseats!?)
Thanks for all your input. I also got excellent advise and information from staff at Babystar. In the end we bought the Safe N Sound Royale convertible car seat. The great thing was that Babystar said if I find it somewhere else cheaper they will match the price. So I went on the internet and in the end got it for 319 instead of 379. (Babyfactory and Babycity wanted even 399 for it) If you have a Babystar near you, I can only recommend them. They have done all the training on car seats and help you to install it too. Just brilliant.
Amy was in the capsule until she was 5 months - too heavy to carry after that!!
She moved into a Safe n Sound AHR and it has been great. We just moved her to a Safe n Sound booster seat last week as her little sister will need the other seat soon. Sophie has stayed in the capsule longer as she is much smaller at the same age and a capsule for a second baby is so much easier when you have a toddler on the loose - I can pop the capsule down and chase Amy if I have to!!
Emma - I would recommend hiring a capsule for the first couple of months as little babies sleep so much and if you have a bigger seat you disturb them every time you get in and out of the car. Plunket have a range of seat that they hire and some are quite cheep for a 6 month rental (also they install it which is good for peace of mind). I would also suggest a base as it save heaps of time and fiddling with the seatbelts.
