Britax B-Pod Lite Capsule
Recommended (Clicktight) – The Best baby capsule for hire is the Britax B-Pod Lite; which sees a number of upgrades from the (path to retirement) Unity Neos. The first upgrade is the capsule now has Click Tight Installation (the next safety system for safe installation) allowing easier installation than Isofix. The next upgrade is the full baby insert with an Integrated Head snuggler and full body padding.
Removing the capsule from the base is now easier with a single lever at the rear in an easy and more natural position. The Britax B-Pod capsule is now compatible with all the same prams as the Maxi Cosi Capsule and can use the same adaptors that you used previously; with the added bonus you can use the same release lever at the rear of the capsule to remove from the car. The B-pod lite capsule is the lightest capsule on the market and it is the only capsule to fit three across the second row of the car.
Britax B-Pod Go Capsule
Recommended to buy (Clicktight) – The Britax B-Pod Go baby capsule for hire is similar to the Britax B-Pod Lite using the easy to install Clicktight System. However the B-Pod Go has a small insert support the head and the back. Secondly the canopy is attached to the handle similar to the Unity Neos, making it difficult to get the top tether around the capsule. It is less expensive compared to the B-Pod Lite. The model is significantly lighter than the Maxi Cosi Mico Plus and the Britax B-Pod Lite capsule,
Not Recommended – The Unity Neos baby capsule is suitable when you have an older pram that required the Click n Go Travel System.
The Unity Neos capsule is one of the heavier capsule on the market. The isofix version was the first baby capsule for low birth weight babies (under 2.5kg)
The Capsule release is at the top of the capsule; making it difficult to remove off the base when the front seat is close. There are several versions of the Unity Neos where the harness must go over a bar and other where there is no bar, causing confusion for some parents.
The canopy is attached to the handle making it difficult to get the top tether around the capsule

Recommended (ISOFIX) – The Best Isofix baby capsule for hire is the Mico Plus; which sees a number of upgrades from the (now retired) Mico AP. The Isofix works well on most cars however there is no standard for the isofix points in cars, so some cars will have a good isofix Installation; but others the installation will be loose. This is the reason Britax Created the next safety standard Called CLICKTIGHT.
The extended cover has SPF50 protection for bubs, a new easier to clean fabric and magnetic holders for the harness clips.

Nuna Pippa CapsuleRecommended (Clicktight Installation – seatbelt) – Despite CREP indicating that the Nuna Pippa Klik has a 5 star rating when using the isofix. The reality is that only a 1 star; due the fact 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.
NOT Recommended (Isofix Installation) – Despite CREP indicating that the Nuna Pippa Klik has a 5 star rating when using the isofix. The reality is that only a 1 star; due the fact the capsule sits several cm away from the seat due to the rigid isofix connection. This design fault causes the capsule to rotate around the isofix points The Nuna Pippa also works with the Maxi Cosi capsule adaptor system.
NOT Recommended (Clicktight) – The Mico 12LX is a birth to 12 months capsule. The purpose of a capsule is to make life easier for mum. However most Mums struggle to use capsule Past 6 months due to the weight of the capsule plus baby (hence not recommended to buy).
Feedback from many mums is that their babies sweat considerably in the Mico 12, due to the narrow head support. This is despite the cool baby fabric being used throughout the capsule covers.
