Yes. It has extra support to fit in a newborn and then remove later. Just keep in mind that it is not as easy to carry around like car seats that are designed just for newborns that will click into a stroller and have a handle so you can carry the baby around in the seat. But if you are on a budget, and just want to purchase one car seat, this will fit a newborn to 65 lbs.

We only used it once, and it was ok for an 11 month old. It is wider at the base than the top of the chair, that gives stability. Also, the baby is snugged right into that seat, which doesn't allow for much movement. Consider how your own weight feels in one of these folding chairs, although I realize that the baby chair is a bit higher off the ground. I am a safety nut with kids(retired teacher) and this seems like a safe chair.

It can be used with a newborn if you purchase the infant sling. We started using it with our 4 week old, he's now 6 months and it worked GrEaT!

I would say its risky. I personally wouldn't want anything around my newborn. I would be worried about their neck getting in a position where they can't breathe. I got it when my son was 4 months old and he immediately came off of it and put it over his face (to chew on). I ended up attaching it to the sheets/mattress pad with safety pins. In a month and a half he figured out how to get his arm under it, which made the some of the pins come out. Glad I have a monitor because he could have poked himself. Anyway I quit using it. Not really worth it for a month and a half use plus I didn't see any improvement in his flat head.

It's fine for newborns, up to 6 months or so. But there isn't a lot of room for rolling back and forth after that. And if your infant can stand, either unsupported or by supporting him/herself, I wouldn't use this cradle, even if you lock the cradle so it can't rock. It just isn't that deep.

I'm not sure... my wife just used it just like that. after a while it looses its firmness. so we got rid of if the minute she gave birth

I was also thinking of doing the same. I will be a first time mom in July and the infant seat seems a bit of a waste of money and also a big carbon footprint considering all the safety advocates say not to use a used car seat. I was doing some research and a site called Consumer Search mentioned that Britax sells "...a foam positioning insert..." for smaller infants.

It's best to use for an infant that is at least 3 months old. I tried using it for my son when he was two weeks and he kept sliding down the cushioned support making it difficult to wash him.

No I don't think so. I know I couldn't feed my son a bottle in it because it wasn't back far enough. I wouldn't suggest it for a new born. Not enough support at all until the baby is atleast a supported sitter

I use it for my 5 year olds, and have been using it since they were 4, but I'm not sure about infants. There might be some logistical challenges. I recommend calling the manufacturer and asking them.

Well our baby girl was not a preemie but we did try it when she was 1 month old to help her between bottle n breast transitions when she needed to be fed breast milk from bottle. I would not recommend it for a preemie our any small baby. It was to big for our 8 lb baby girl nearly choking her because of the length of the nipple. Being it wasn't cheap and I do like the concept we kept it to try again later and she is just now able to comfortably use it at 6 months and over 14 lbs...

yes this is mainly used for newborns but infants up to 12 months can use it - I would only recommend using it until the baby gets teeth - after that use a stronger nipple.

Hi Marioli,I wouldn't feel comfortable using this stroller for a 1 month old. Personally, I wouldn't use the stroller until the child is able to fully support his/her neck (5-6 months old). The stroller is rather large, even when folded. Hope this helps!Kind regards,Zaheer

You can put anything that's not too big and is ok to use in the sterilizer, which should say on their manual. But if you will not be using a bottle to feed baby, I don't recommend it. I purchased item thinking it would be the most useful product I was getting... But since I only breastfeed, I never give him a bottle, I never use sterilizer because it's only one bottle here or there, and paci's I boil. In my case it was a waste of money.
