you can pull it up like a hood, it attaches to the straps for shade or privacy. my daughter is 3 months and 15 lbs and can hold her head up, we use it without he insert, but we use a rolled up blanket under her to prop her up to align her legs correctly.

The manual and on the product state that the carrier is not for forward facing infant. You can wear the carrier on your back so the baby would be facing outward.

I have a 13 month (20lbs/32 in) child and fully believe your child will still fit. You can actually control the narrowness of the side supports but relaxing a pull cord and make the seat wider than the picture looks. I love it for the back support! Before we got this my child always had a lean going on and this gives her a little more support.

I have this carrier. I did not use this particular one for my baby as a newborn. I had a smaller one I used for him. It is geared towards smaller babies. I used this carrier as he got older, around 6 months.

It doesn't have an infant insert, but it has loops and buttons and a piece you zip closed to use with an infant. It was ok when he was really little, but I would go with a Lillebaby (which we love and is way more comfortable to wear) or an Ergo baby carrier.

No matter what I did the adapter constantly slipped, wobbled, and was unsteady I would hold the carrier down with one had while strolling... If you can take it back. Lower the back of your stroller so it is like a bassinet and depending on how young your child is use a snugglie, I actually use the infant cushion from our momma roo for our little guy.... He's getting bigger and I'm slowly propping him up more. Scratch the carrier and put your baby right in the stroller comfortably and safe.

The height and weight are correct for the baby carrier. However, I would always suggest that you ask your pediatrician if your child is ready. He has to be able to hold his head erect, wear a helmet, etc. Manufacturers rightly practice CYA in their recommendations, but each child is different. Enjoy!

I have a breeze and like it overall. PRO: It is breathable in front part (where you put baby). The back part is cotton, so it's still fairly warm on the mom's back. I got white so it would be lighter (vs. the black). CON: It looks like a middle-school athletic jersey material. It's appropriate for the beach, for walking around the block, etc. but when I have a nice outfit on (like a dress or something), I don't feel like it looks good. I'm going to be ordering a cotton one as well, just so I have another option. Another concern I have is that the mesh-like material is not at all as stretchy as the cotton, so it fits a lot snugger. My baby fit comfortably at first (born 8 lbs) but now (at 11 lbs) she definitely does not want her head inside of the carrier because she feels squished. Since she doesn't have head control yet, I end up holding her head. Still great, but I might should have tried a size SMALL instead of XS in the breeze. Also, they now make a K-tan Active that's still breathable (more than the cotton) but isn't as middle-school jersey looking. Only snag there is that it comes in blue or coral only.... not very versatile. Hope this helps.

If you find the car seat support not enough for the baby, then go for this product. Also, it's important to keep the newborns head correctly positioned (straight), and to have cushy padding under it to eliminate the possibility of flat head. I don't think this extra comforting insert could cause any safety issues, just fill out your car seat, and if you find it too hard, or notice your little one isn't snug in it, by the insert.

I didn't buy the insert, but the purpose is to give added cushion/comfort, especially for small babies. Like what people sometimes put in car seats or strollers to buffer the head and body. I should have bought the insert, because I think the seat texture (by itself without the insert) is strange for a baby product. It is the texture of a canvas backpack.

While I know you can get the insert for the newborn head position protection, I would recommend this seat for a child a little older. I use it rear facing for my now 1 year old, but started with the peg perego viaggio infant seat. Infant seats while only good for the first year are made specifically for their smaller bodies. Perhaps depending on the new born size(5lb or 9lb) may make a difference...though over all this is definitely a wide seat for someone so small. Not to mention the convenience of an infant seat is wonderful! Especially when the baby is asleep and you can take out the whole carrier with out waking them up. =) While I know you can get the insert for the newborn head position protection, I would recommend this seat for a child a little older.

I used the carseat, but around 4 months started using the stroller seat and found the insert very useful to keep baby in place and for head support. I later removed the headpiece and used it for a few more months.

We used this with our 2 month old, at the most reclined position, so he was mostly laying down. However, my son was holding his head up on his own at roughly 7/8 weeks and this may have had something to do with his head staying in line with his body.

I don't believe you will need anything but it depends on what you are using this for. If for baby to sleep on, no. Infants are suppose to sleep on their backs on firm surfaces. We will be purchasing king size pillow covers to cover the insert so to keep clean the insert.

My daughter will be four months in two weeks and weighs 13lbs. It zips up and buckles fine and can be tightened to fit a smaller baby. The only drawback is that it is ver long so the top of it squishes all around her face.

No, it is designed only to be a front carrier. There are photos out there of it being worn on the back, but as a user I would not feel comfortable or safe wearing my baby in that position.
