Britax Safe-n-Sound B-Pod Lite capsule
A light capsule with a high ease-of-use rating that clicks onto many prams for the first year.

We researched capsules for families who want to move a sleeping baby from car to pram without unbuckling. The B-Pod Lite rated 3.9 stars for ease of use and 3.2 for protection in the independent Child Car Seats tests, and the capsule alone weighs about 4.5 kg. A capsule is optional: our convertible picks work from birth, and a capsule is outgrown at around twelve months. If you do buy one, check the adapters for your pram, and move your baby to a flat cot or bassinet for sleep once you're home.
