What Makes A Good Baby Capsule, and the Reasons You Should Get One

February 7, 2023

Children under the age of seven are not permitted to travel in a vehicle that does not have a properly fitted and secured child restraint that fulfils Australian safety requirements. Babies must be positioned in a rear-facing restraint until they are six months old; a baby is also advised to be seated in a rearward-facing seat until they are 12 or even 30 months old. Children under seven must be secured in a forward-facing restraint or booster seat.

However, the form of restriction does not rely as much on the child's age as it does on their size. Even at seven, a child's sitting height will decide whether or not they should continue in a booster seat.

At SOS Retail Sales, we ensure that every baby capsule in our inventory satisfies Australian safety regulations and is as comfortable as possible for your kid. For years, we've been supplying practical and extremely safe infant capsules, Shopping Trolleys, and other items, allowing us to become acquainted with parents' most typical issues and worries. Finally, we decided to provide a complete reference on baby capsules, outlining the advantages and providing guidance on choosing the best one for your child.

What Is A Baby Capsule?

A baby capsule is a type of infant restraint that consists of a practical in-car base and a removable capsule. This basket-style newborn baby capsule is secure, convenient, and simple to remove from the car while your baby is still fastened and presumably sleeping! They are the first piece of travel equipment a baby will have, as they are designed for babies weighing up to 9kg. A capsule with a base serves as a baby car seat; the capsule also attaches to a stroller, forming a Travel System. Strollers and adaptors must be tested, authorised for the capsule, and supplied separately. You may purchase an extra stay-in-car base for your second vehicle.

Important: Because outside manufacturers are not permitted to sell infant capsule car seats in Australia, the restraint must include the Australian Standard label.

Baby Capsule Compatibility

While you may be tempted to get a larger baby capsule car seat to have a functional travel accessory for as long as possible, selecting a more fitted one that does not allow as much mobility is preferable. As a result, your kid will feel more secure and comfortable. The tighter a youngster is snuggled in, the less likely you will wake them when transferring the capsule in and out of the automobile.

Additional Characteristics

Most capsules now include head huggers and cushions that hold the baby's head in place. Aside from providing extra protection for a baby's fragile head, the absence of bouncing keeps the infant sleepy. A sun or rain shade may also be added to the capsule, sheltering the baby from the elements and allowing it to sleep soundly.

Takeaway

Aside from its simplicity, a baby capsule is a rather inexpensive alternative. If you choose the one linked to a wheelbase, it can function as both a safe car seat and a pram. Because the design is typically ubiquitous, first-time parents who intend to have multiple children will certainly use it again.
