Evenflo Capsule & Base

Im not sure sorry, I will be using a capsule for the first time on number 2 as I used a reversable with Haleigh.
but i have heard good things about evenflo

we have a evenflo with  maddy and it was great andn ever have had any problems the base is great to so much easier then having to deal with a seat belt etc will be using it for this baby to/

Yup I LOVED my Evenflo with base!! They are quite bulky though (only just fit in my car) so make sure you try it out before buying a car. Having a base makes life so much easier and I bought some snap n go wheels so didn't have to take bubs out of the capsule at all. The only thing I would recommend is checking if your model can be used without the base. I couldn't with mine and it was a bit of a pain if I wanted to go in anyone elses car. But my sister had another model Evenflo and you could use it with or without the base.

The length of time you will actually use it depends on size of your baby, and how strong you are! We have just stopped using Isla's capsule this week as she has almost reached the top, even tho it said it would last up to around 9 months and 9kg,..shes only 6months and about 7kg. But I was also finding it way too hard to carry inside from the car with her in anyway! I dont regret buying one cos we got a p&t one that fitted in our p&t buggy so we didnt need a snap&go, but we used it for less time than we had predicted so would have been cheaper to hire.

Thanks for all your comments ladies, they are very helpful in making my decision!

One thing I have noticed the Discovery does not have a 5 point harness, only what looks like a 3 point. Does this matter, like the baby won't slip out the sides if you know what I mean??

I definately want one with a base, its just deciding which one!

We were given a Evenflow capsule with a base. It was great. I found it so easy to use, with the capusle that slots into a base also slots on to the supermarket trolley....so no need to take bubs out when you need to do the groceries....sorry just something I found useful when Tyrell was so young.
Our only downside was he grew out of it so quickly, he reached the length and weight before he was 5 months old....luckly we didn't buy one!

does anyone have the evenflo portabout model?
Wondering what the difference is between this model and the discovery?

We have an Evenflow Discovery, and I bought it on when it was on special too, however I didn't buy it with the base - kicking myself for that now! But have enquired into purchasing the base seperately and you can - even though its quite costly. But will probably buy it when we have another bubba.

I find them great! They aren't too hard to get into the car, they fit over the child seat on shopping trolleys (as Amy said) and the straps etc are easy to adjust - once you get the jist of it, but they are long - however I think Elle will be in it for a while - so thats the plus side of that.

We looked into hiring one and thought that by buying one we really aren't losing any money - especially as we will be having more than 1 baby and if you keep them in good nick they hold their value fairly well.
