Hi ladies :)
Whats evryones opinions on using these with a capsule for 1st baby? I have seen them around a few times and thought they looked easy and user friendly? Have many of you used them before? THANKS  -------------  Mum to Hayley **30.6.08

Hi Tammy I bought some snap n go wheels for my capsule, and have got lots of use out of them! Fantastic for popping into the mall or the post office or things like that, especially if he is asleep in the capsule! You can hire them from baby factory I think, but we bought ours from Baby on the Move (website).

I've hired them with a capsule from plunket. They're pretty handy for shopping etc, but if you plan to do a bit of walking up hills or on even slightly uneven terrain, it would be worth having a more robust alternative as well. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

They are BRILLIANT! You still need a proper buggy or something as well - for longer trips, walking etc but they are so good for just popping into shops etc.
Definitely go for them!

They are great, I wouldn't buy them though. Baby Factory and Plunket hire them out. You'll probably only need it for 6mths.
Katie is right you will still need a buggy. We used it mainly for when we were the groceries and/or I had to pop over the road to the shops. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

What she said lol!! I bought mine off Trademe - one of the newer blue ones not the old while style. It was only $50 which I think is around what you pay to hire them plus I'll probably get my money back when I sell it again on Trademe! ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

We've been loaned one, and they're great when you want to pop in somewhere briefly and don't want to transfer baby b'tween carseat and pram. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

These are absolutely brilliant! I really noticed the difference when my son moved out of his capsule at around 3 months old (he's a tall boy!). I had to take him out of his car seat each time and inevitably he would wake up and then not get back to sleep. The Snap N Go was a life-saver for me as we went out a fair bit when he was little. Definitely get one!! ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

| Am not sure. The casule I had also had base in the car that you just 'clicked' it into. Everything was SO easy. Click into the car, click out, click onto the wheels.. off you go... click off, click onto base in car etc. All fast and the baby can just sleep through it all. |

I had Katie1 type. I hired the capsule/base with the snap and go from baby on the move. Baby on the move people also fit the base into your car for you as well. The capsule was so easy to place on the base, and click off too. Snap and Go wheels are a real bonus if bubs is asleep and you desperately need an item from the supermarket or to pick up the dry cleaning etc. Not good for pavement, terrain pushing though.
Snap and go wheels are excellent for manoevering around narrow aisles in department stores, much better than a full sized pram is. We used ours for six months and reluctantly handed it all back last week when bubs grew too big for the capsule. Now I have to manoevere a crotchety previously sleeping baby in (and over or under the frigging anchor straps) and out of her rear facing carseat. |

This was a life saver for us and meant that we didn't have to buy a buggy straight away!
Nearly every capsule fits with the snapngo, but only some actually snap into it (my evenflo did). Other types you just place onto it and use the strap to clip over the capsule to prevent it falling off. ------------- Ev, Mum to: Carys Ruby - 4 October 2007 Spencer James - 2 July 2010 |

I also got the capsule and wheels from Baby On The Move. Ohhhhh I LOVED the snap n go wheels, they were seriously the best thing I've had for him so far. I was so upset when he got too big for the capsule! It was incredibly handy just being able to click the capsule out of its base, fling it into the wheels and dash into a shop. It's such a big effort now that he's in a convertible car seat. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com">
