Well... we'd better get this capsule then eh?

Naomi had been doing her eBay thing again, and we realised that with the going rate of capsules on the second-hand market, that we'd be better off buying one and selling it, than renting one from the City of Melbourne, even though their rates are very reasonable. Genevieve was in her rear-ward facing capsule until almost 13 months.

So, after a little more research and querying of friends, we decided on the Safe-N-Sound unity. We also decided to get it from our regular guy who, unfortunately is no longer on Arden St (so, on the route between home and the hospital) and is instead, in Maidstone. He's also changed his name to 'Kids N Cars'. He will come to you, but to fit in with our (admittedly self-imposed) timeline, I took the car to him.

We was impressed with how I'd fitted Genevieve's MaxiRider (which we'd also got through him, but had changed cars since then). He put in some extra channels through the cargo barrier to make it easy to swap the seat/capsules in and out. There's not a great deal of room between them, and the passenger seat cannot slide all the way back, but we're still happy with having the Forester. No real need for a larger car than that. (I reckon I could fit between the two seats anyway, should the need arise). Otherwise, we'll just have to pretend we drive a kid-carrying ute.

So, looking forward to its maiden voyage, which should be Tuesday. (Oh, and yes, before you all ask, I will be looking at the possibility of mounting the capsule in the CargoBike, but mainly for novelty's sake, than as a serious transport solution).
