What is the difference between a convertible car seat and a capsule?
The difference between a baby capsule and a convertible car seat is in their functionality and design to cater to different lifestyles. Baby capsules, also known as infant car seats, are designed for newborns and young babies (up to 12 months of age). They are rear-facing and come with a carry handle, making them portable and easily transferable from the car to a compatible stroller. These capsules provide a secure and snug fit for smaller babies. Once your baby has outgrown their capsule, they will need to travel in a convertible car seat until they have reached the highest exit marker.

Convertible car seats are designed to accommodate a broader range of ages and sizes. These seats can be adjusted to be rear-facing for infants and then converted to forward-facing as your child grows. Convertible car seats have higher height limits compared to baby capsules, allowing them to be used for an extended period. While they are not portable like baby capsules, convertible car seats offer the advantage of serving your child through different developmental stages, making them a cost-effective and versatile choice for many parents. The decision between a baby capsule and a convertible car seat often depends on parental preferences, lifestyle, and the specific needs of the child.



Both options are equally safe and there is no right or wrong in choosing a convertible car seat over a baby capsule to begin with. Convertible car seats are suitable from newborn up to 4 years approximately and offer extended rearward facing up to 30 months (approximately). Baby capsules are suitable from newborn up to approximately 12 months.
