Can this be used with an infant? Can the baby sit facing in AND out?

They do have an infant insert that you can buy to go with it. I carried my son in it with the insert right from the get-go. The baby only faces inwards to your chest, not out. At that age they don't need to be bombarded by all the stimuli coming at them by facing out. Snuggling in to your chest is the safest and most comforting spot for them to be. It will also ensure they are in a better position for hip development and takes the pressure off their crotch.

No, you cannot use for infants, it's for babies 15 lbs or heavier, or 3 mos or older. Baby can sit facing you on your front or back. Baby should not be worn facing out; even if this pack had that capacity I wouldn't recommend it. Research shows that facing out is not an ergonomic/healthy way for baby to sit.

have not tried that yet, bec my 1 yr old can sit in front w/o the infant car seat. Without the infant car seat, my 3 yr old girl sits comfortably..it has straps too so it is safe esp when your kid decided to stand up while your crossing a street. just the compartment below i found it small BUT its not a deal breaker for us.

No- you can't use a carseat with this stroller. The individual seats are not wide enough, and it does not have the necessary bars to hold it in place. If you are looking for it to be used with an infant, by all means, it works well because the seats lay down to an almost flat position- and with an additional head rest insert it is great for newborns! But they need to be in the seat alone- not with a car seat! I used it for my baby when she was just a newborn with the extra head support- and I live on a dirt road- and she did fine with it! Good luck on your stroller hunt!

We got this for our daughter, and she said that the younger child can sit facing you once he/she is old enough to sit up and/or stand up on their own. See http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7bLV-Vm1mBY/maxresdefault.jpg If you mean in a car seat, then yes, the car seat can face backwards.

This seat is only to be used for rear facing. Studies show infants and toddlers should remain rear facing until at least age 2 or even up to three. Doing this will greatly reduce the risk of serious injury during accidents.

Absolutely, this is a convertible car seat and can be used rear or forward facing. I currently have my 3 year old sitting in it forward facing.

Yes you can sit up in it too.. although it is not designed to be used as a chair. I put mine against the sofa so it provides some support in the backside. My toddler uses this everyday since he was 7-8 months old.

There is a three way buckle to strap a child into seat behind the infant, but as some of the others have said, it might not fit an 18 month old. My wife and I use it tons, but we have a 5 month old and a 3 year old which is probably a better span for the stroller.

Not really...you can put a towel under the front to push it slightly back but if you have a small infant, it really is not a good seat for them. I got it for my grandson when he was about 6 months old, but he is a big boy...wouldn't have worked as well if he were tiny.

I haven't used this carrier for a few years (my daughter is now almost 3), but as I recall, you can unclip on the side and put the baby in facing the front. I remember this carrier being very user friendly.Hope this helps!

I wouldn't use the stroller by itself with a newborn because the seat is not designed for a newborn (not enough support), and baby doesn't have the head/neck strength to sit up in it. However, we bought the carseat adapter so we can use it with our infant carseat, and it works great! Very easy to snap in and out. Just took my 1-week old for a walk in it this morning!

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!

Baby can sit up and lean forward and splash but then she starts to reach/lean in somewhat unsafe ways. We used this with our daughter until she was about 18 months old.

This is all one piece... it is not an infant seat for travel systems. This is what you would use when your child is too big for those (I couldn't really get my baby and the infant seat in and out of the car easily at 7 months). These are WAY more comfortable for the baby, so once you are not using your infant seat as a travel system, I would upgrade to this. You can then turn this forward facing as your child gets older.

The seat is very wide, my baby is 7 months and still doesn't fill the seat in. When my baby was too short for the bottom we put a pillow under until her legs got a little longer. We didn't buy or start using it until she was at least six months and even now we limit it to 15 minutes max. I personally wouldn't put a 3 month old in it because they have a tough time controlling their body unsupported, not sure what the product recommends for age.

No. It is not designed for that and would not be safe. However, the seats recline and the two back seats are safe for infants of 2-3 monthd

i put my baby in at about 5 months. once she was sitting alright. it reclines so it really could be from whenever you feel. it has an attachment for carseats too so really, you can use it since birth.
