Why You Need a Premmie Capsule

Most pregnancies last around 40 weeks. A baby born before the 37th week is considered premature or pre-term and is most likely to be a low-birth-weight baby.

If your baby is born weighing below 2.5 kg, you will need a specialised Premmie capsule to ensure they are transported safely and comfortably from the hospital.

The easiest and safest way to bring your new baby home is to hire either the Britax B-Pod LBW or the Britax Unity Neos. Both come with professional mobile child restraint fitting by Anthony at your home or hospital.

All our capsules come with professional ACRI-accredited car seat fitting by Anthony at your home or hospital.

    Frequently Asked Questions – Premmie Capsule Hire

    What is a premie capsule and why do I need one?
    A premie capsule is a specialised low birth weight car seat designed for babies born prematurely or weighing under 2.5 kg. Standard capsules are often too big and unsafe for very small babies.
    Which is better – Britax B-Pod LBW or Britax Unity Neos?
    The B-Pod LBW is usually the better choice for most families because it is narrower, easier to install with ClickTight, and fits more prams. The Unity Neos is older and has more limited pram compatibility.
    Do I need to use the top tether with the capsule?
    Yes. You must always use the top tether strap, even when installing with a seatbelt. This is a legal and safety requirement.
    Can the capsule be used with my pram?
    The B-Pod LBW fits the majority of Maxi Cosi travel system prams. The Unity Neos only works with a limited number of Britax and Steelcraft prams.
    When is the best time to book a premie capsule?
    As soon as you know your baby may be born early. Premature births can happen suddenly, so early booking is strongly recommended.
    Do you provide professional fitting with the hire?
    Yes. Every premie capsule hire includes ACRI-accredited professional mobile fitting and a full demonstration at the hospital or your home.
    What if my baby arrives unexpectedly?
    Call Anthony immediately on 0466 997 233. We prioritise premature babies and will do our best to deliver and fit the capsule the same day or next day.
