We went straight into a carseat (I hadn't even heard of capsules, that's how new I was to this baby business!)

I found it okay, as far as taking her in and out of the car - although it probably depends on how often you get out and about, I probably didn't go out that much in the early days.

The only time I really wished I had a capsule was when we went to a cafe for coffee group (although we usually went to someone's house so this wasn't really much of a problem) - but to get around this I bought a P&T cocoon to put her in (which is much lighter than a capsule).

At the time, I thought, I'm definitely getting a capsule and some snap and go wheels for the next baby - but now I don't know, they're only newborn for such a short time and she would have outgrown her capsule by now, as she's quite tall and my arm muscles are pathetic!

I think you are all convincing me to forget the capsule idea and just stick with the carseat (which we already have).  The only time I found a capsule handy (and why we hired one after Tom was born) was for flying up to grandparents.  But then we also used our convertible once and that worked too...just bulkier.

 

 If I dont have a capsule then I will be more inclined to use the buggy and walk....gotta be a good thing.

Just my two cents, we have a convertable carseat, I always figured that if I wanted a capsule after baby was born I could always hire one, you will need the car seat at some point anyway. Only time I sofar that I've wished I had a capsule was at the drs when I couldn't put him down.

I think I'm pretty convinced now to skip the capsule and go straight for a carseat.  I've had a look and seen some great ones that go from birth to 36kgs so is basically suitable for as long as this baby needs to be in a carseat.

Great idea about using the cocoon anakk, we're intending to get a pram with a basinette/carry cot anyway so we can use that at church/friends places/cafes if need be.
