Does this seat recline enough, and have a good enough harness, to hold a newborn? I would like to be able to sit my newborn at an "above dog level" height while working in the kitchen.

It didn't recline at all. I will arty though, it can hold your baby very securely with that table attachment on it as well.

Our little one was born 6 lbs 18 inches and we have used this car seat from the day we left the hospital. She is now 6 months and we still use this car seat and have even used this car seat to help calm her down when nothing else would work and I am not just talking about the 2:00 a.m. car rides, we just strap her in and carry it around....she just feels comfortable in the car seat I guess....but as I have quickly learned some things will work for you and your little one and others might not...so if you think it has to acute of an angle, don't buy it b/c if your little one is upset in the car seat all your going to think about is "its that stinking acute angle and that darn car seat making him/her uncomfortable", even though it might not be.

Are you asking: in the reclined position, is the seat definitely in a 45 degree angle? I've never measured the exact angle. it does change the incline a bit and the babies are comfortable. Sorry about the vague answer to a specific question.

ummm....well to answer your question, i don't think you should put a newborn in a booster seat! probably from about 3 months onwards! but i'll have to say no to your question, it won't! but it's an excellent booster seat! better than the fisher price brand on account of space and economically! it's strong and works really well!

I borrowed a bassinet for the first 2 and half months for my first DD. We started using this when she was almost 3 months old and we have had no problems with it. The seat reclines but if you want to be sure, I think there is also an bassinet you can purchase that can be strapped to sit on top.

Yes, but I believe you are only supposed to use the most reclined position. I think I found the official recommendation on uppa baby's website. We used the snug seat from very early on and liked it. Hope that helps!

This stroller doesn't have five-point harness, only a three point across the lap. So if your son tends to still fold over in half I would be cautious. Of course, they develop so fast that first year, by the time you bought the thing, he might be sitting quite independantly and be strong enough to support his back for longer periods of time. This stoller does not recline at all.

Yes, this seat may be used in the rear-facing position for a newborn baby that is over 5 lbs. Infant Positioning Insert may be necessary for small infants to achieve a snug fit of the harness around your child (sold separately). However, you may find an "infant carseat" more satisfactory and/or convenient for the first six months of your baby's life, as they are portable. We moved up to the Britax Advocate 70-G3 when our baby out-grew her "infant seat". Furthermore, if expense is key and you can not aford to buy two carseats, infant seat and convertable seat, then get the convertable seat as it will last you the longest and it is the best value for your money. Good luck with your little one!

I have read through the manual teice and do not see a weight minimum to use the stroller. That being said, I do not think a newborn will be held securely within the harness. Although it does adjust as your child grows, I do not think it will tighten as neccessary for such a small babe. The stroller is excellent and a smooth ride. Hope this helps!

it does have a 5 point Harness. Yes it does recline but I would not put an infant in it. Snack tray is very easy to remove. My Daughter is 10 months old she has been using it for the last 4 months its perfect.

Personally, I wouldn't put a newborn in the fully reclined toddler seat. It doesn't seem very safe and comfortable when they are so little. I have used the bassinet for my baby from 0 - 7 months and now (she is 8 months) I am using the toddler seat. I think Britax also says that the toddler seat is not for children under 6 months.

It is great for newborns thru approximately 6 mos or so. After that, they tend to want to sit up and it's not really designed for that.

i put my newborn in it...at 3 or 4 weeks, she was fine in it. No reason why a newborn couldnt be in it. It doesnt have to be completely flat to have a newborn . (just make sure that they are on they're back and have the newborn head supports , and are all cozy, confined and swaddled. Its all good )

It does recline, so that helps for newborn support. I bought this when my son was a week old. He was tiny in it, but it worked.

This seat will not fit a newborn. The bottom harness position is too high and generally doesn't fit babies until closer to 6-9 months since the straps need to be right at or below for rear facing.

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.

The harness keeps them pretty secure but the seat does offer a recline position. My grandson has not fell asleep in it yet, but it does have more padding along the side so I think it along with the harness and recline position, they should be secure.
