Has anyone tried this with a child younger than 6 months old? How young do you think it could work for? Most other brand slings say 1-2 months start

We used it with our then 10 week old son and it worked great! He seemed very comfortable during the ride.

We just bought this and used it for the first time this week. Our daughter though is 8 months and she was quite comfortable. The child is sitting in an upright position though so I would not use it until they could hold their head up on their own.

My daughter was 4 months old but had been holding her head up on her own. We did not use it as a bike trailer until the recommended age. I used it as a stroller/jogger. Honestly the snuggler did not make it much past 6 months for us. It made it really uncomfortable for the sibling riding next to the snuggler too.

Hi, my son only used this for maybe 2 1/2 weeks. I'm not sure how long you plan on using it for, but please keep in mind that it didn't feel very sturdy. With my son now at 8 weeks, I know for sure that he would be too big. I ended up giving it away when my two year tipped it over..thank goodness I was able to catch it.

Depends on the age of your child. We used this exclusively until about 5.5 months when our daughter starter to sit up. It is not that tall and with movement (rolling etc) it is not as sturdy as a pack and play. After that time we just switched over and gave ours to a friend to use.

As long as she can sit up on her own, hold on to the handles as needed she should be fine. My daughter and I started about age 2.5 and I felt she was secure. Good luck!

Is he a hot baby? If it's a temp issue I'd say get a gauze ring sling. If he's older a light weight mei tai. I absolutely love this for longer excursions like walking around theme park or city. It's the best carrier for.extended length of time in my opinion.

Yes. The sling works well for newborns. I have a 3 month old who can't sit up just yet. She is too big for the sling but slips on the hard foam surface so I've been putting a bath foam behind her on this tub

I think ours started using it at around 6 1/2 months. It doesn't prop the baby up. But she's strapped in well and won't slide out.

Definitely, I bought one for my granddaughter last year, now age 7, also doing aerial. She loves the sling (as do her friends). Easy to install, but make certain it is securely in a beam!

Kristen, I would say that your little one needs to be able to sit or at least have more back and head control before using this. I think the package insert says they need to be 6 months or greater. Use your judgement but I think 3 months is too little. Hope this helps.

It depends on your baby's weight. As they gain weight, they will lie lower in the sling. My daughter is 12 pounds; she barely touches the bottom of the tub. The sling allows the baby to be in the water, but not completely covered. Their feet, lower legs, head and upper chest are not covered, but most everything else is immersed.

not sure i can answer that one but my friend is 5 foot and she has one and love it...you could always knot the top or sew the top shorter ...my little dogs love this sling.

My son was 28 inches and 18 lbs at 6 months and it still worked for me, and I recently stopped using it because he is now 34 inches and almost 25 lbs and sitting on his own so I believe once ur child starts sitting on his own u can use this product :) hope I helped you without being too descriptive haha

I started to use it with my baby when she was 7 months first time. That worked for her

The sling is to support the baby and embrace, because of how fragile they are as new borns, it gives a firm grip. The baby isn't supposed to touch the bottom, but just sink enough so s/he can get a little soak. I hope this helps.

I'm 5'2" 115 lbs, and the small works perfect. A meduim would be way to long. It depends more on the size of the wearer. I've been able to adjust it to fit my baby from 4 months to 10 months so far. She will get too heavy long before she gets too big for the sling.

The tube says suitable from 6 months. I use it on my 21 month old and he loves it!

that is a great question Emily. My daughter turns 5 months this week and is using it however I don't know how long she can use it.she is rather tall for her age and I have not yet used the height adjustments available so I imagine she will be able to use this so she is at least 9 to 10 months at a minimum. If not longer!hope this helps!
