What ages is this pillow appropriate for? Newborn to what?

I think these pillows help prevent a flat head in the back from always being put to sleep on their back. I think after about the sixth month, the head shape becomes fairly resistant to change, so the pillows would be less helpful for that after that time.

I purchased this pillow when my daughter was born but didn't really use it for long periods of time until she was 4 months old because she didn't sleep on her own until then. She's 7.5 months and is still using it. Except for her being a wild sleeper and I find the pillow pushed on its side, I really like this pillow. I'll continue to use it until I feel she needs a big girl pillow. It's cute and you can throw it in the washer/dryer.

I just bought this and installed it yesterday for my 1 year old. It came with an "infant insert" that is basically an extra support pillow that goes under the baby's butt. It's that black pad on the seat in the picture. The manual says it is to be used for infants from 5 to 22 pounds. There was no other insert to support a newborn's head, though. If I were using this with a newborn I would look into adding one, though I worry about suffocation risk with some of those after-market inserts.

The pillow is also very small. For a 5 year old I would recommend getting a standard sized pillow.

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.

It absolutely provides enough support for a newborn. I use it for my 3 month old great nephew but we've put him in it since he was nearly 2 months old without incident.

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.

It's best to use for an infant that is at least 3 months old. I tried using it for my son when he was two weeks and he kept sliding down the cushioned support making it difficult to wash him.

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!

It does not go totally flat so I would not use it with a newborn. 3 months+ is what the manufacturer recommends on their website. I've been using it with my daughter since she was about 6 months old and it works very well.

Used mine for my newborn up to about 3 mths...useful again for I'd say 2.5 years and older with the top harness "layer" zipped off, changing it to a regular small-sized bean bag type chair. But after reading the comment below re: the 11-month old loving the chair, maybe I'll try it for our 9-month old!

The pillow I received is apparently different. It is approximately six inches thick and it is firm. It compresses to about 2-3 inches with weight. I don't think I would give it to a 2 yr. old, maybe to a 4 yr. old. I got it for an arthritic knee so it is okay for me.

I think its too big for a newborn. I just saved it until my baby was about 9 months. Then it fit perfectly.

I believe it was intended to be just a pillow but when my daughter was very little it helped support her head. Now that she is almost 6 months is just a pillow.

I didn't put anything other than the baby into the crib until one year old, but at one I added the toddler pillow and it is not very high (it seems to function more as a tool to train my kids to sleep with their head at one end of the bed).

Reclines but i amo not sure it is comfy enough for a newborn. Maybe if you add some blankets or comfy cloths to block the head

Our 3.5 year old uses it and he is much more active than when he was a baby. It's a great pillow. Wish we purchased it much earlier.

It actually reclines pretty low, should be good enough for newborn. Keep in mind, though, you have to use both hands to recline.
