The Benefits of Having an Infant Capsule
The Benefits of Having an Infant Capsule When preparing for life with a newborn, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the gear you’ll need. However, one item that quickly proves indispensable is the infant capsule. Not only does it ensure safe travel for your little one, but it also simplifies everyday routines in ways that many new parents come to appreciate. So, what makes an infant capsule so essential? 1. Seamless TransitionsOne of the most convenient features of an infant capsule is the ability to move your baby from the car to the pram—or straight into the house—without disturbing their sleep. With a capsule, there’s no need to unbuckle or shift a drowsy newborn between seats. Simply lift the carrier off the base and you’re good to go. It's important to remember that newborns should only sleep in capsules or car seats for short periods. 2. Tailored Newborn FitUnlike regular car seats, capsules are specifically designed to support newborns, offering a snug and comfortable fit from the very first days. Most come with removable newborn inserts to cradle your baby and provide optimal positioning as they grow. 3. Safety FirstInfant capsules are designed with your baby’s safety as a top priority. With features like side-impact protection, memory foam padding, and extendable canopies, they provide extra reassurance for parents who want the very best protection for their little one while on the move. 4. Lightweight and PortableInfant capsules are lighter and easier to carry than convertible car seats. They’re perfect for quick trips out or when you want to pop into the shops or grab a coffee with your baby in tow. The portability of these capsules is a game-changer for busy families who need to get in and out of the car quickly. 5. Travel System ReadyA key benefit of many infant capsules is their compatibility with prams, creating a complete travel system. This makes it simple to move your baby from the car to the pram, or anywhere else, without disturbing them too much. Many premium capsules integrate seamlessly with strollers, giving parents the flexibility to choose the best combination for their lifestyle. Choosing the Right Capsule for Your Family When it comes to choosing the best capsule for your needs, some designs offer unique features that cater to different lifestyles. For families looking for a versatile, all-around solution, the Nuna ARRA™ Flex offers an exceptional blend of comfort and convenience. The ARRA Flex features a nearly-flat 157° recline, allowing for optimal spine and hip development, and can be used both in the car and on any Nuna stroller. Its sleek design and thoughtful functionality make it ideal for parents seeking a capsule that accommodates their busy lives, while still prioritizing baby’s comfort. For those prioritizing the best sleeping position, the Nuna CARI™ NEXT is a full lie-flat carrycot that secures into the base, providing a natural, ergonomic sleep position for baby. It’s an ideal solution for longer journeys, allowing your baby to rest comfortably throughout the ride. Its lightweight design and stylish finish offer both practicality and elegance for parents who want a premium, travel-friendly option. It's also compatible with most of the Nuna strollers too! If you live in the city or often switch vehicles, the Nuna PIPA URBN is the perfect option. With built-in ISOFIX and no need for a separate base, it installs in seconds—ideal for ride shares or households with multiple cars. Its ultra-lightweight construction and quick installation make it an incredibly practical choice for families on the go. For those seeking a capsule with premium safety features and materials, the Maxi Cosi Mico Luxe is a soft and comfortable option with excellent side-impact protection. The capsule’s breathable bamboo fabric and superior padding ensure baby stays snug and supported. Another excellent choice is the Cybex Cloud T, a premium infant capsule offering a recline function for a comfortable, lie-flat position outside the car, ideal for newborns. It features a 180° rotating mechanism for easy on-and-off boarding and can be paired with the Base T for secure installation. The Value of a Capsule No matter which capsule you choose, having one can make a huge difference in your daily life. They provide smooth transitions, superior comfort, and important safety features that give parents peace of mind. Whether it’s a quick errand or a long drive, the right capsule can make life with a newborn that much easier. For parents who seek a perfect balance of style, safety, and functionality, the right infant capsule isn’t just about convenience—it’s about providing the best possible experience for both you and your baby, wherever your day takes you. The above suggestions and many more options are now available online, here at Dimples!

How to Choose a Car Seat
How to Choose the Right Car Seat – When You're Spoiled for Choice Choosing a car seat can feel overwhelming – especially when your baby’s safety, comfort, and your lifestyle are all at stake. With capsules, convertibles, boosters and everything in between, how do you know where to start? Here's a practical breakdown to help you compare the different types of car seats and figure out what’s right for your whānau. Capsule Car Seats Best for: Newborns to approx. 12 months (up to 13kg depending on the brand)What they are: Rear-facing, portable infant car seats that click in and out of your vehicle. Why parents love them: Can transfer a sleeping baby from car to stroller without waking them. Easy to carry with a handle. Most work with a base that stays in the car – simple click-and-go. Things to consider: You’ll likely only use it for the first year. Weight matters – some are much easier to carry than others. Great options to compare: Nuna Pipa Next – lightweight (only 2.8kg) and super portable. Nuna Arra Flex – features three recline positions - including a near-flat 157° recline on the stroller or when used as a carry seat. Cybex Cloud T – lies near-flat outside the car, great for stroller naps. Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 Pro – ergonomic recline, 360° base for easy loading. Nuna Pipa Urbn – ideal for city living or rideshares with built-in ISOFIX, no base required. Nuna Cari Next – a lie-flat carrycot that’s also a car seat – perfect for naps and spinal support. Convertible Car Seats Best for: Birth to approx. 4 years (or longer depending on the seat)What they are: Seats that start rear-facing and convert to forward-facing as your child grows. Why parents love them: Cost-effective – you’ll use it for several years. Often more spacious and padded than a capsule. Can remain rear-facing for longer, which is safest. Things to consider: Not portable – stays in the car. Check your car for what installation method you need (ISOFIX or seatbelt). Some have rotating bases to make buckling in easier. Great options to compare: Nuna Todl Next – works with a rotating base for easy access. Nuna Revv – built-in 360° rotation, no separate base required. Nuna Rava - seatbelt installed, and known for its simple installation, generous legroom, and plush comfort. Ideal for families who want a long-lasting seat without the need for a base or ISOFIX. Cybex Sirona T – comfortable, safe and easy to use with excellent recline and rotation. All-in-One (Convertible + Booster) Best for: Birth to approx. 11–12 yearsWhat they are: Car seats that transition from rear-facing to forward-facing to booster seat. Why parents love them: One purchase that lasts for years. Saves money in the long run. Ideal for parents who don’t want to keep upgrading. Things to consider: Not portable – stays in the car. No rotating options available. Great options to compare: Nuna Exec – rear-facing from birth, forward-facing to booster mode up to 148cm / 54kg. Britax One4Life Slim – rear-facing to booster mode up to 160cm / 54.4kg. Booster Seats Best for: 4+ years (or as per height and weight guidelines)What they are: Forward-facing seats that position the vehicle seatbelt properly across your child. Why parents love them: Simple to use and install. Gives older kids a good seat height and a view out the window. Often more compact. Things to consider: Only suitable once your child meets minimum size requirements. Great options to compare: Nuna AACE LX – adjustable height, recline, and side impact protection. Britax Skyline – affordable, comfortable, and lightweight. Maxi Cosi Titan Pro – grows with your child from toddler through to booster stage. Other Key Considerations Car fit: Not all seats fit all vehicles – check for compatibility, especially if fitting multiple seats. Ease of use: Consider rotating seats if you struggle with lifting your child in and out. Installation method: ISOFIX is quicker and easier, but seatbelt installs offer flexibility for older vehicles or travel. However ISOFIX does have lower weight restrictions (generally around 18kgs). If a seat allows for both ISOFIX and seatbelt installation it can pay to opt for Vehicle Seat Belt installation as it eliminates having to switch installation method once weight limits are reached. Longevity: Weigh up whether you want a dedicated seat for each stage or one that adapts as your child grows. Need Help Choosing?

When Pets Meet Babies
Welcoming Your Baby and Fur Baby Together 🐾👶 For many families, pets are our first “babies” – loyal companions who’ve shared the couch, the bed, and plenty of milestones. So when a new human baby comes along, it’s natural to worry about how everyone will adjust. The good news? With a bit of preparation and kindness, your pet and baby can build a beautiful bond from the very beginning. Start with Your Pet’s Personality 🐶🐱 Every animal is different, and how you prepare depends on your pet’s species, temperament, and past experiences. While goldfish or guinea pigs usually require little adjustment, cats and dogs can be more sensitive to the changes a baby brings – new sounds, smells, routines, and less attention. If your pet hasn’t spent much time around children, consider slowly exposing them to baby-related sounds (like crying or giggling) using recordings beforehand. This can help desensitise them and reduce anxiety once baby is home. A Gentle Introduction is Key Before baby arrives, introduce your pet to baby items like the pram, cot, or bassinet. Let them explore at their own pace so these new additions don’t feel overwhelming later. You can even go for practice walks with the pram to help your dog get used to the change. When baby comes home, offer your pet something with baby’s scent – like a swaddle or hat – before the first face-to-face meeting. For dogs, initial introductions should be calm and ideally on leash, in a neutral space like the front yard. For cats, allow them to approach in their own time and retreat when they’ve had enough. Reward your pet for calm, gentle behaviour with treats or praise to create positive associations with baby. Safety First – Always 💛 No matter how friendly or socialised your pet is, never leave them alone with your baby. Even well-meaning pets can act unpredictably when startled or stressed. Cats may try to jump into the bassinet to cuddle up, which can be dangerous. Consider using a cat net over the cot or keeping the nursery door closed. For dogs, teach them to respect baby’s space and avoid licking or nudging the baby. Once your baby becomes mobile, always supervise interactions and start gently teaching respectful handling – this not only keeps everyone safe but helps your child grow up with empathy and confidence around animals. Create Safe Spaces for Everyone As your household routine shifts, pets will appreciate having a quiet, baby-free zone to retreat to. Use pet gates or closed doors to keep their food, bedding, and litter trays separate. This not only protects your pet’s resources but keeps curious toddlers away from things they shouldn’t be touching (or tasting!). Make sure escape routes like cat doors are secure, and create high perches or quiet corners where your cat can safely observe without feeling overwhelmed. Managing Allergies and Cleanliness Pet hair is a common allergen, and while it’s impossible to know if your baby is sensitive right away, there are a few preventative steps you can take: Vacuum regularly (a pet-specific vacuum can help). Bathe or groom your pet as advised by your vet. Keep pets off nursery furniture and out of the baby’s sleeping space. Consider using an air purifier in high-traffic areas. It’s also a good idea to wash baby’s hands after contact with your pet – especially once they start crawling! Don’t Forget About Your Pet’s Routine ❤️ Newborns take up a lot of time and energy – and pets can sometimes feel left out. Sticking to familiar routines, like walks, feeding times, and play, helps them feel secure. Enlist friends or family to help out with dog walking or play sessions, especially in those early weeks. Cats benefit from mental stimulation too – puzzle feeders or interactive toys can be great for independent play. Some parents also find that having their pet involved in small baby routines (like sitting nearby during nappy changes or walks in the pram) can help strengthen the bond early on. Growing Together: A Bond Like No Other With time, patience, and gentle consistency, your baby and fur baby will adapt to each other – and may even become inseparable friends. Watching them grow up side by side is one of life’s simple joys 🥰 If you’re getting ready to welcome a baby into your home and have questions about creating a calm, safe space for both little ones and furry friends, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team or pop into your local Dimples store – we’re always happy to help.
