Do you think this is suitable for newborn babies? It looks big and I'm concerned about lack of support for baby and lack of recline.

If you choose to skip the infant carrier (perfectly safe to do so) this seat is one that DOES fit newborns well. The strap slots are low enough to fit average and some smaller newborns well. This seat only has one recline line so it is important to make sure it is properly reclined (line level to the ground). There is some infant padding with the seat and rolled receiving blankets can be placed on either side of an infant to provide additional support and prevent any slouching over until baby has better head control. There are many Car Seat Safety Groups that recommend this seat as a choice for newborns who aren't using infant carriers.

I would not put a new born In this seat, cold should be 20 pounds or more. There is no support for a newborn and it does not recline far enough.

We did not put our newborn in this... but if the description says it is ok, then i guess it is fine.

We used a britax for the newborn and then switched to this car seat when the baby was 1.

That's a hard call as it may be big for your little one.I feel like for practicality reasons, it wouldn't be too big for long, but it may seem like she is lost in it for a little while. I don't have experience with the smaller one so I'm not sure how to compare.

I would not put a newborn in this. The seat does not lay flat and so they would be thrown around too much. I also bought the single citi mini which is virtually identical and the salesperson told me that it is not recommended for a child under 6 months.

It looks comfortable for my daughter who is 2.5yo. She is not too low to the ground. The cons for me is that it's a little tight in the back that it's a tad difficult for my daughter to get in the stroller and i usually have to lift her up onto the stroller. And the seat has to be taken out to be stowed and put back on the stroller when needed. But i think the rumble might be a little unsuitable for a 6mo old? If you can, go to a baby store that has it and see it. Because the rumble doesn't recline, the strap on it is not as strong and tight for younger babies. It is more comfortable for older kids in my opinion It looks comfortable for my daughter who is 2.5yo. She is not too low to the ground.

No, I would not use this for a newborn. A baby should be able to sit up on their own before you use this product for sure. We didn't start using it until our baby was about 5.5 months old.

It absolutely provides enough support for a newborn. I use it for my 3 month old great nephew but we've put him in it since he was nearly 2 months old without incident.

I would use this for a newborn because it has that opening in the head area so the baby doesn't start developing flat head syndrome. It's also cushy and makes the car seat or carriage a little bit more comfortable for the newborn.

I have had it a while now. It reclines almost all the way back. It has a 5 point harness which helps too. Idk about a brand new baby.... Maybe better with a 3 month old....or older

It's quite big but you'd have to put in blankets for comfort. I sure wouldn't want to squish a newborn in it though.

As long as your newborn is at least 5 lbs, this car seat is suitable. I didn't get it until my baby was 10 mos old so I can't speak from my experience but there are is an infant insert that comes with the seat making it comfortable for a newborn. Hope that helps!

I don't believe this stroller is designed for newborns due to lack of head support. It does however accept most newborn child seats. If you look it up you can find which seats it's compatible with.

This bassinet is intended for newborns and young infants. I think most babies would outgrow this in length before weight.

It is rather bulky with newborns. I haven't tried it recently but the photo on the cover implies it fits well when babies are older and bigger.

As a newborn it should be reclined all the way. (mostly because of neck support). We never went any higher.

I wouldn't recommend this stroller for a baby that can't sit up on its own. It's a very very light stroller, in terms of support. It doesn't have big incline/recline options and the baby's head may tip forward. But it's up to your own discretion, depending on the baby's development.

Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns. It lays pretty flat on the floor so if you put your 9 month old baby in it they'll just sit in it like you put them on a bean bag... But can easily roll over. We gave ours away by 6 months as we didn't use it for the baby...My 3year old loved it and pretended she was a turtle :) watch out for the seams though- I returned mine and the second one also split (and little styrofoam beads spilled everywhere) so I sewed the second one. I don't really recommend these seats period.

I bought this stroller for my son as he turned 1 year old. I would not recommend it for a newborn, as it doesn't really have much in terms of support. I had used his car-seat with a snap and go up until then, but he is big enough to sit, and needs to be able to see where we are going. I still use the snap and go when shopping, as it is convenient. I would've probably used the "Contours Lite Stroller" at 6-8 mos. if I had had it.
