Hey chick, we have a Milano one with the base from baby city so can definitely comment!
I would say they are SO worth the money (we had the pram too so could just snap it in but don't need the combo). Def get the base as the capsule is a bit higher than some so will not do up in a lot of cars.
Cons - the fabric is a bit shiny so if you have a summer baby they sweat a bit in it - I used to just put a flat nappy in if that was the case. But the fabric is also good being like that as its easily wiped clean if you need to do it. Also, it's more upright than a lot of other ones, which is a benefit later on, but in the early days baby can look a bit funny sitting up more than lying (I would recommend a head support thing that you can buy for about $10).
Pros - the absolute BEST thing about the Milano capsule is it's quite big so you can use it for ages. believe it or not, Jack was in the capsule (in our 2nd car) up until he was 14mo
He's not a giant (in the 25th%ile for weight but 60th%ile for height). I found that a lot of other capsules just couldn't accommodate that. Even though we had another carseat from about 11mo, we found it great to have the capsule as a spare up until that point. So you definitely get a good bit of use out of them.
Also the sunshade is great - doesn't slip like a lot of Evenflo ones do and covers baby quite a bit (was important for us in summer).
Anyway... you can probably tell I'm sold on them! Any more qu's just ask, or PM me
capsules-help!
