All I can say is, make sure you read your capsule instructions carefully - I've used 3 different ones, one where the handle *had* to be up while driving, one where it *had* to be down behind baby's head and one where it *had* to be down by baby's feet. Insane!!! So just double check which it is for yours ]]> Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:40:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=667048&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#667048 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=665803&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#665803 Author: Muz

I was told in the weekend by a friend training to be a paramedic. That carseats should always be on the passengers side.

The passengers side is away from road when you need to get baby out, also if there is a head on the drivers side thats most of the impact.

In both mine and DPs cars the passengers seat does need to be quite far forward

Its just something you need to put up with really

no you cant leave the handle in an up position .. it needs to be as far forward as it can go (which is why they usually take up loads of room) ]]> Sun, 19 Apr 2009 18:18:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664462&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664462 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664239&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664239 Author: KazS

okay so carrier fits nicely into middle spot - only pain is the handle when in car position is still a little too far out but will just have to make do (unless of course it can be kept in carry position but that will require me to have another read of the manual which i will do later    ) ]]> Sun, 19 Apr 2009 13:23:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664239&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664239 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664213&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664213 Author: lilfatty

I wouldnt think so .. most capsules take up a tonne of room (as do rear facing carseats) and most people have to have the passenger seat very far forward.

Even my friends with a huge landrover had to put the passenger seat far forward, so much so that only the wife could fit in the passenger seat and only just lol

When Issy was in a capsule .. my DH couldnt fit in the passenger side, so he used to sit in the back with her if I was driving.

We couldnt have put it in the middle because the drivers seat would have to go forward and then we wouldnt have been able to drive ]]> Sun, 19 Apr 2009 12:47:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664213&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664213 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664211&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664211 Author: KazS

Thanks both of you

I will wander out again shortly with the manual and try it in the middle and also the side again

Maybe this pregnant brain has just done something stoopid]]> Sun, 19 Apr 2009 12:44:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664211&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664211 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664206&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664206 Author: gypsynita

Plunket told me the middle is the most recommended spot cause that way if you're in a crash they're as far as possible from the impact IYKWIM...

having said that - we had our capsule behind the passenger seat cause that's where it sat best, and have just had to put Cians new seat in the middle (cause of where the bolt is) and I hate it!! so much harder to get him in and out of - i actually have to crawl into the car to get him.]]> Sun, 19 Apr 2009 12:39:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664206&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664206 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664199&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664199 Author: kebakat

While we had a rear facing carseat (capsule and carseat) we had to put the passenger seat forward quite a lot and just put up with it.]]> Sun, 19 Apr 2009 12:31:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664199&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664199 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664197&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664197 Author: KazS

Hi all

Mum bought me and Evenflo capsule and base for our very shortly to arrive bay.

I have just been trying to fit it in our 4WD and it almost kinda seems to big to go behind the passenger seat as that seat will have to be way forward by the look of it (tis possible i have stuffed something up though)

can they be placed in the middle or where is the recomended position for them?]]> Sun, 19 Apr 2009 12:30:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25991&PID=664197&title=position-of-capsule-in-car#664197
