The Three Stages Most Families Use

Stage 1: Capsule (Birth–~12 Months)

Portable, rear-facing protection that moves between car and stroller. Ideal for newborn life and quick trips.

Stage 2: Toddler Seat (~6 Months–4 Years)

Convertible or rotating seat for extended rear-facing, then forward-facing when ready.

Stage 3: Booster (~4–8 Years)

Raises your child for optimal seat-belt fit through the school-run years.

Option 1: Edwards & Co Avery Capsule + Base

The Avery Capsule is the most cost-effective way to start your journey. It’s lightweight for daily carrying, quick to install with ISOFIX or seatbelt (when used with the base), and clicks onto Edwards & Co strollers via adapters for a true travel-system experience.

Why Parents Choose Avery

  • Affordability without compromising safety and comfort.
  • Seamless car-to-stroller transfers with adapters.
  • Compact footprint; great for city errands and school runs.

Good to Know

When your baby outgrows the capsule (commonly around 10–12 months), the Avery Base can’t be reused with a larger car seat. You’ll move to a toddler seat that typically requires its own base or belt installation.

Option 2: Maxi-Cosi Pebble Pro + SlideTech® Base → Pearl 360

Prefer to invest once and reuse your base? Start with the Pebble Pro infant capsule on the SlideTech® base. Later, upgrade to the Pearl 360 rotating toddler seat on the very same base. You get premium usability now and long-term savings later.

Everyday Convenience

  • SlideTech® brings the seat toward you for easy buckling.
  • 360° rotation with the Pearl 360 reduces back-strain.
  • One base for multiple seats reduces clutter and complexity.

Why It’s Cost-Smart Over Time

Most families buy three seats over childhood: capsule, toddler seat and booster. With the SlideTech® system, the Pearl 360 is significantly cheaper than buying a brand-new convertible seat with a new base later (think a typical $799–$1100 for a fresh convertible + base), because your existing SlideTech® base is reused.

Quick Comparison

Plan Best For Up-Front Cost Long-Term Value Base Reuse
Avery Capsule + Base Lowest initial spend; simple newborn travel system $$ Great for Year 1; you’ll purchase a new toddler seat/base later Base not reusable with larger seat
Pebble Pro + SlideTech® → Pearl 360 Invest once; reuse base; rotating convenience $$$ High—Pearl 360 uses the same base, saving hundreds later Base reused for infant & toddler stages

Fit, Installation & Everyday Use

Rear-Facing First

Keep your child rear-facing as long as practical—capsule first, then a rear-facing toddler position before turning forward-facing when developmentally ready.

ISOFIX or Seatbelt

Both options are supported across our systems. Using a compatible base makes installs quicker and helps reduce user error.

Car & Stroller Compatibility

Check your vehicle’s ISOFIX points and your stroller’s adapter compatibility. Our team can guide you to the perfect capsule-to-stroller setup.

Safety & Standards

All car seats in this collection meet recognised international standards. Capsules and rotating seats include 5-point harnesses, energy-absorbing shells and side-impact features. Correct installation and harness fit are essential—our team can provide practical guidance, and we recommend periodic checks as your child grows.

Value Made Simple for NZ Families

If you’re watching the budget today, the Avery Capsule + Base is a brilliant, no-compromise start. If you want to minimise future spend, the Pebble Pro + SlideTech® base with a later Pearl 360 upgrade lets you reuse the same base—so you avoid buying a whole new convertible seat and base later.

Whichever route you choose, you’ll have a modern, parent-friendly system that’s easy to use, comfortable for your child and supported locally.
