Avery Capsule

The Avery Car Seat Capsule is suitable from newborns to whichever limit is reached first from the below Weight Limit 13kg Head Height At least 2.5cm below top of child restraint shell. Shoulder Height Less than 1cm above highest harness slot in child restraint shell. As a general guide, Avery will be suitable from newborn to between 6 months and 12 months of age.

No, the Avery Capsule base is only suitable for the Avery Capsule.

The Avery capsule works directly with any Edwards & Co Oscar Mx, Oscar M2, Oscar Nu or Olive stroller and doesn’t require an additional adapter.

It is not a necessity to use a base with a capsule but it can improve the chances of your capsule being installed correctly and securely every time you travel. When installing a capsule (or any child restraint) it is important to ensure it is installed securely with little to no sideways movement. If you can move your capsule with your hand, imagine what the force of a crash would do to it. For this reason, your capsule must move less than 2.5cm sideways when you pull on it at the belt path. Another important point to check is that your capsule is installed on such an angle that ensures your baby can sleep with their head back and their airways clear. Depending on the angle of your vehicle seat, achieving this may require some adjustments. As a capsule is a mobile child restraint, it is removed from the vehicle with your baby in it every time you finish a journey. Therefore, when using a capsule without a base, it is necessary to reinstall it every time you travel. This involves threading the vehicle belt through the capsule’s belt path and locking it with enough tension to ensure less than 2.5cm of movement. After the capsule has been installed and you are satisfied with the movement, you will also need to check the angle is correct for your baby to rest safely. This will need to be done before every journey.The benefit of using the Avery Capsule Base with the Avery Capsule is that the base is installed once and the capsule is simply clicked in and out of it each time you travel. There is no need to install anything with each journey. Once the base is installed securely on your vehicle seat and the angle is correct, then when the capsule is clicked into the base, you know that it is also secure and at the correct angle for your baby.

It is common (but not necessary) that the head wings are the first part of the newborn support to be removed. This will occur when your baby’s head is snug against the head wings and there is limited space for movement. To remove the head wings, simply pull them through the slots in the liner. The lumbar wedge adjusts the angle of the capsule to provide a flatter surface for your young baby. This stays in place.

We don't use Flame Retardants. The fabrics are tested by a independent laboratory to conform with the ECE R 044 & EN 71 flammability standard. Rather than using fire retardants, we use purposefully made fabrics that have a low burn rate to comply. The fabrics also comply with the toxicity requirements of EN71 & ECER044

Wash capsule fabric, newborn support liner, head wings and lumbar wedge on a gentle cycle, or hand wash, in warm or cold water only. Water should not exceed 30 degrees celsius. Drip dry.

This is a common question asked by parents but it is difficult to give specific time limits for babies in capsules as this will differ from baby to baby, depending on their head and neck control. We can give you general guidelines. Firstly, a capsule is not a bed and should only be used in the car or capsule. Do not leave your child asleep in a capsule unsupervised at home. We suggest a time limit of 30 minutes for a “very young baby”, ie. newborn until they are able to hold their head up unaided. Once a baby has better head and neck control and is able to reposition their head when they are asleep, then you can extend the time in the capsule. Most guidelines suggest that at this stage, 90 minutes is the longest you should keep a little one in a capsule. We would recommend taking baby out of the capsule and giving them a stretch and ensure their airways are clear before continuing with travel.
