The best capsule on the market is one that is easy to use, that will fit your lifestyle easily and can be installed easily into your car. However there are many baby capsule brands on the market designed with their own prams and travel system.
When ever a new pram is created then either a new capsule is designed or adapters are made to fit a specific capsule. The two most popular capsule to be adapted are the Britax Unity Capsule and the Maxi Cosi capsules (MIco Ap and Mico Plus)

Maxi Cosi Capsule
There are currently 4 versions of the Maxi Cosi Capsule on the market These are
- Citi capsule
- Mico Ap Capsule (available for hire)
- Mico LImited edition capsule (available for hire)
- Mico Plus capsule (both isofix and non-isofix available for hire)
Citi Capsule
NOT RECOMMEDED – The Citi is designed for a flat seat, any dip in the seat will cause your childs head to flop. The Capsule can be used for a max of around 4 months; as it only has 2 harness slot positions; but has a padded insert for prem babies. The Maxi Cosi citi capsule is narrower and smaller than other capsules which means that most of the maxi cosi adapters will not work
Mico Ap Capsule
Recommended (Seat Belt Installation) – The Maxi Cosi Mico Ap capsule is only receommended for seat belt installation as isofix on the mico ap does not secure tightly due to a number of design issues. The maxi Cosi capsule has a travel system/ adaptor system which allows it to the majority of the prams on the market through the use of inexpensive apators.
The Mico ap capsule is light and easy to use. Unfortunately ; in many cases it can be difficult to install the baby capsule. Contact a mobile restraint fitter to help or better yet hire the mmaxi cosi mico ap capsule from travel safe

Britax Unity
Recommended (Isofix and seatbelt) – The biggest advantage of the Britax capsule is that it is designed for up to 12 months of age. The britax capsule has isofix which works easily for simple installation.

Cybex Capsule
The Cybex capsule is designed for the cybex pram and not fit any other pram / capsule combination out there. Positives can be used for 12 months, easy installation. Can be difficult use take in and out
Nuna Pippa Capsule
Recommended (Seat Belt Installation) – Despite Crep indicating that the Nuna Pippa Klik has a 5 star rating when using the isofix, in reality it is only a 1 star as the capsule sits several cm away from the seat due to the rigid isofix connection. Fortunately the seat belt installation is easier due to the internal lock off clip. The Nuna Pippa also works with the Maxi Cosi capsule adaptor system.
Baby Jogger Capsule
Not Recommended (Seat Belt Installation) – The Baby Jogger capsule has a high angle in the capsule and will cause your child’s head to be pushed forward onto their chest making it difficult to breathe. Both the isofix and seat belt installation methods work equally well. The capsule has an adjustable foot which is easily adjusted to take into account deep seats. This capsule only works with the Baby Jogger Pram.
