These capsules are highly recommended avoiding chin to chest. I was going to hire one because of the price but found it on a great sale I couldn’t pass up here. Arrived within a few weeks and well worth the wait for the price. I know its going to make life easier with a newborn and toddler. Can’t wait to get some use out of it soon.

This capsule is excellent. Our Bub loved it from day 1, it is very comfortable for him. The magnets in the side to hold the buckles out of the was while you put Bub into the seat are so helpful, especially to stop a wrestling match or waking a sleeping baby trying to find the straps underneath them. The base was simple and easy to install, and the seat is easy to remove and adds to the convenience factor. I highly recommend this capsule!

We received the package when they said and right to our door( we live out of town so super happy) the staff kept us informed about any delays and were very polite. As for the product itself I was stunned at how well made it was and easy to use. The capsule is a gift for my daughter and this is the one she wanted its light compared to others that she had been looking at, I would recommend this product to anyone who is thinking about a safe and appealing baby capsule. My daughter is going to send me photos of the capsule in use and I will place the picture on bubsngrubs website
