Why Low Birth Weight Babies Need Specialised Capsules
Premature and low birth weight babies have different needs than full-term newborns. Standard capsules can be too big, too upright, or put pressure on tiny bodies.
Better Support & Safety
Specialised capsules offer deeper recline, better head and neck support, and secure harness fit for babies as small as 1.8 kg.
Gentler Journey Home
Designed to reduce stress on developing lungs and spines — making the important trip from hospital to home safer and more comfortable.
“The right capsule can make all the difference for your baby’s comfort and safety in those early, fragile weeks.”

Premmie Safety Tips – Safe Car Travel for Your Premature Baby
1. Always Use the Correct Recline Angle
Premature babies must stay in a deep recline to keep their airway open. Our capsules have clear angle indicators — we set this correctly during installation.
2. Use the Full Newborn Insert
Never remove the head snuggler or insert until your baby has outgrown it. It helps prevent slumping and provides vital head and neck support.
3. Check Harness Tension Frequently
The harness should be snug — you should only be able to fit one finger between the strap and your baby’s collarbone. Check every trip.
4. Short Trips First
Start with short car journeys. Stop regularly to check on your baby. Never leave them unattended in the car.
5. Top Tether Must Be Used
This is a legal requirement in Australia. A loose top tether greatly reduces the safety of even the best low birth weight capsule.
6. No Thick Clothing Under Harness
Dress your baby in light layers. Thick jackets or onesies can create dangerous slack in the harness.
Our technician will go through all of these tips with you during installation and answer any questions you have.
