How much does the seat need to recline to use this w/a newborn? Wondering if room enough for a rumbleseat to be simultaneously used for my toddler.

As a newborn it should be reclined all the way. (mostly because of neck support). We never went any higher.

yes i have also used this together with the rumble seat and its the best accessory i could've purchased for my vista stroller it gives the baby full support and looks very good!

I think it depends on how old your infant is..My twin were 8 months old when I purchased the stroller and they were sitting up a little on their own....It does recline all the back and your toddler will be very comfortable

The seats recline almost flat. I ordered this because I have a newborn and a 13 month old. My newborn lays almost flat and the leg rest folds up to close the foot hole area, so no wind gets in.

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.

We use this with our 3month old and just recline one seat all the way back. He usually falls right to sleep! I was nervous about using it with him since he can't sit up on his own but once I got him in there it worked just great!

If you choose to skip the infant carrier (perfectly safe to do so) this seat is one that DOES fit newborns well. The strap slots are low enough to fit average and some smaller newborns well. This seat only has one recline line so it is important to make sure it is properly reclined (line level to the ground). There is some infant padding with the seat and rolled receiving blankets can be placed on either side of an infant to provide additional support and prevent any slouching over until baby has better head control. There are many Car Seat Safety Groups that recommend this seat as a choice for newborns who aren't using infant carriers.

The more important thing is the stage your child is at. Can they sit up on their own, and are they under the recommended weight limit per seat (I think it was 35 pounds but not 100% sure)? My twin boys started using this at about 5.5 months. So it is more making sure your child is ready and about to sit in a regular seat (though it can recline as well); they should be able to support their own head/neck and sit without much help before this.

Not a big plushy recline kind of seat-it fits 3 across, which is a reason a lot of people buy it. If I was looking for comfort, I would look elsewhere but fits a need-there is only one other seat on the market that can also do 3 across and it doesn't recline much either. When we take long trips, we use a different car seat (for the front-facing child) so he can sleep without his neck slumping forward. In reverse, it doesn't seem to be a problem

Yes. You can recline the seats independently of each other. You can lay one almost completely flat for the newborn. Try using a stroller insert to keep their head stable. Or purchasing the infant bassinet via baby jogger's website. This does NOT have a car seat adapter that will work with it. However it is NOT a good idea to ever jog with a newborn. Not until both kids have strong head support at least 6 mo+.

I would not put a new born In this seat, cold should be 20 pounds or more. There is no support for a newborn and it does not recline far enough.

It is a larger seat, so I would personally skip it. How old, tall, and heavy is your child and how much are you wanting to spend on a seat? I could recommend something more compact.

It is comfortably soft, and the support for a head and neck would work, but have in mind that you can't recline just the backrest- the whole seat reclines, so you can't lay it flat, and that might be an issue for a newborn. We got it for our 4 month old once he started to show desire to sit.

The back of the seat will recline to a almost a flat surface. A baby can be placed in it from birth on. Our Granddaughter laid comfortable in hers when she was just a month or so old.

I think it does recline far enough for diaper changing. Haven't needed too since my daughter is potty training. I just tried it and it can be done.

This highchair does not recline so I would wait until a child can sit up to be placed in this highchair. It is comfy enough, in my opinion for a sitting child. :)

I am not sure. We have the 2011 stroller. I will warn you that I was informed in the stores that this would accommodate a 45 lb child, but the seat clearly states a limit of 35 lbs on the back. As a result, I have to put my baby in the rumble and my toddler in the big seat, which reclines. In short, I do not recommend this stroller for kids with a 2-3 year age gap. Perhaps this is a good idea for Irish twins, but it was not the best choice for my family. That said, we have probably put hundreds of miles on his stroller and rumble seat at the beach and in the malls, so we have made it work.

You have to do what you feel is safest for your little one. That being said, the seats do lean back as far as you want them to. I think a 5 month old would be just fine. I'm not sure what model year I have. We bought it new in January of 2014. I love it even more now than when I wrote the original review.
