is the rear seat suitable for a newborn?

When my son was first born I put his insert to his car seat in there (the fluffy piece that shapes around their body to hold them steady) and layed the seat all the way back. He liked to sleep like that. Sitting up, no because they don't have very strong necks

I have six children and I would say that a newborn would be fine if they were just going to be laying down in the rear seat. However if you were trying to put them in the upright position; it wouldn't be adequate because there would not be proper support.

The rear seat does lay down all the way and your can put an infant car seat. The back seat only reclines flat. I would not put an infant in the rear.

Yes. I used it when mine was a newborn. Just set the seat back to recline and don't use the high speeds.

Agreed with previous comment that the seat needs to be at the most reclined position for such a young baby. I myself did not use it when my daughter was that young. She was/is small for her age and felt her infant car seat gave her a much "cozier" feeling. We just bought an adaptor to use with the UppaBaby frame.

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!

The standard seat is too small for a new born. You'd have to attach a proper car seat to it. I'm not sure which are compatible if any.

The seats fold flat, so newborns can ride in it even if they can't sit up yet. May not be stablizing enough for really floppy preemies, and you may not want to actually run with the babies until they have some more neck stability.

I would only use this for a newborn whIle in an infant car seat, which you would need to buy the car seat attachment for this stroller.

Yes. The viewing angle probably wouldn't be ideal for your baby, but the same posts that fit the front seats would also fit the rear ones. That, and I'm not sure how far down the headrests would be able to tilt and still be secure.

Yes, it is suitable for a newborn. The stroller reclines nearly flat. We took my son for a walk in it when he was six days old. We did use a JJ Cole Infant Body Pillow in the stroller to give him some extra cushioning and to help the harness fit a bit better.

I don't think it is good for a newborn. When my daughter was born i was unble to use it becuase the seat it is to deep and i felt that she was kind of sinking into the seat, it was forcing her little back to seat and a newborn is not yet ready for that.

Yes!! I have a newborn who sits rear facing just fine in his Graco car seat. Great stroller!!! Would definitely suggest purchasing!!

Absolutely!!! The car seat has a little cushion that wraps around newborn so they don't roll around. We used ours with our newborn. I really enjoy the jogger/stroller/car seat combo.

I hate carrying the heavy bucket seats with an infant in them, so I prefer this style seat with my newborn. I have an older model but it works great with my son. I use a carrier like a Boba or ring sling after getting my child out of the seat.

This stroller would be suitable for a newborn with use of the car seat adapter for bassinet attachment. The back of the stroller seat does lay down pretty far back, however a completely flat surface is recommended for a newborn.

Hi, definately YES! My grandson was 6 months when we moved him into it for the same reason! It is a big seat though.

No it doesn't. The front seat hardly reclines and would not be good for a newborn.

Newborn is fine. The swing reclines back and you can secure the baby in the swing
