how would you use this stroller for a newborn / small infant? it says minimum weight is 5lbs.

If I had a 5 lb baby, he would be in a wrap or a sling, not a stroller:)! More work to push the stroller than to just carry the kid!

I wouldn't use this for a newborn. You can lay the back down all the way and buckle the baby in but it is better if they can hold their head up.

I personally wouldn't use this stroller until the newborn or infant had pretty good head control. I started using this when my baby was about 5 months and around 17 lbs. But he is a bigger baby!

I bought this stroller for my son as he turned 1 year old. I would not recommend it for a newborn, as it doesn't really have much in terms of support. I had used his car-seat with a snap and go up until then, but he is big enough to sit, and needs to be able to see where we are going. I still use the snap and go when shopping, as it is convenient. I would've probably used the "Contours Lite Stroller" at 6-8 mos. if I had had it.

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

I have been using this stroller for my daughter since she was 10 months. She is now 2 years and 3 months old and still works great for us. I think answer by D. Monroe is probably the most helpful for max weight being 40 lbs, but if you were trying to figure out how early you could put a little one in this stroller, well for me 10 months was about right.

The straps hold small babies no real minimum weight I would wait until your baby builds its neck muscles around 3 months of age but I love this stroller it goes over all terrains and the fixed wheel is great because you don't have that problem where the wheels get flipped around

I think the instructions said not to use the seats until the baby is like 6 months old. However, because it reclines into an almost flat position I feel you can use it on a younger child. 1 month & 10 lbs. is probably a little small... But once they are like 4 months old it's probably okay as long as the straps can be adjusted tight enough to safely hold the baby in the stroller. For a 1 month old I'd recommend using the bassinet add on or buy the car seat adapter to use that on your stroller until your baby is a bit bigger. I hope this helps!

I think the stroller is recommended for use for babies that can at least sit (have more head control). They make car seat adapters that can hold an infant car seat in the stroller. That is a great option for utilizing the stroller with newborns. I believe exact recommendations/specifications are on the website.

It's designed for use for a newborn to about 6 months or so, depending on how big your baby grows. It holds a 7lb infant well and doesn't let him slide out of it.

My daughter is about 17lb at 5 months old and we still use it with her every day. Hope this helps!

Technically it can be used for an infant because it does have a 5 point harness. However, I didn't find that to work too well for my 5 lb infant. She was just too small to be comfortable or fit the straps properly. I used this stroller with a Graco SnugRide car seat and it actually fits fairly snug without the adapter which is fine for normal walking. I did buy the adapter though (~$40) which allows the seat to snap in place and strap on.

Have not used for an infant but specsheet says that it can hold an infant starting at 4lbs.

The weight capacity in this stroller is 75 pounds. I hope this helps you. Please let me know, if you have any other questions. Thank you, and have a wonderful, day!

This stroller is about the same size as for a small child. 4.2 pounds is not very big but you can put a small blanket in there for extra bedding and to make the compartment a bit cozy.

I believe that there is a weight minimum and maximum for it (maybe length as well?) specified on the box, I am so sorry I didn't keep it so I could tell you. We did not start using it until our little one was about 4 months, but I have seen others using it with babies less than a month old. As far as the quality and comfort, we absolutely LOVED ours!

I don't think there is a minimum weight, but you should wait until the baby can sit up on his own (when he won't need as much head/neck support) before putting him into an upright stroller.

The seat can technically be used for as small as a 5 lb baby. That being said, it is a big seat and I personally feel that the shoulder straps on this seat are pretty far apart and so I'm not sure it would secure a small baby very well. I started using the seat when my kids were bigger...like 9 months or so. It's a great car seat.

We purchased this to be used from birth for our baby. Our daughter went home at 6 pounds 10 ounces and it worked fine. It looked huge for her, but it is designed for babies as small as 5 pounds. However, you will want to purchase the Britax Infant Positioning Insert so that your baby fits safely until s/he reaches at least 11 pounds. She is 6 weeks old now and we are very happy with this purchase. You just have to be willing to go places without the "convenience" of an infant carrier (we have been using a ring sling, which I think is actually more convenient).
