Has anyone fully reclined the seat and put an infant in the stroller without the attaching the car seat? Chicco said you can do this until he can sit.

Yes. My baby has used only the stroller since he was born. He sleeps very well in the cosy reclined space.

Yes you can! I was using Chicco cortina for my first baby from the very first week he was born. He loved it.

I'm not sure I understand the question cause I'm not seeing why you'd move a toddler to the stroller in their car seat...? At toddler size you'd get them out of the car and buckle them into the seat in the stroller. That said, the bases/seats seem interchangeable, so I don't see why not.

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.

Yes, you can put the car seat in the stroller! That's the beauty of the Liteway PLUS -- the "plus" allows you to use your Chicco key fit car seat in the stroller. That's how I have used it the entire time and my son is 11 months. It is fabulous! He loves it because he is up high and can see everything!

I thinkit will be a little unsafe to place your new born in a stroller without having the baby in a car seat that attaches to the stroller. Once they have a better head support, it would be good to place your child in the stroller. Either way, you will need the seat for the car.

Hello, I love the stroller and highly recomend it. I suggest that for an infant use the adapters to place the infant car seat (just like any travel system) and once the baby is like 6 months you will find the stroller very secured to carry him.

I honestly do not think it fits with a stroller but it was such a great price! especially after checking the prices at many stores, who cares. My son & daughter in law were so happy they even said the same thing cause in the first lets say 6 months they really don't need a stroller but they will need a car seat. If it were me I'd wait and maybe Amazon will have a good sale on a stroller plus the fact that my son & his wife are outdoor people I bought them a carrier so the baby will be right next to them and they can go for walks and not worry about a stroller getting stuck. Good luck.

I ordered an infant insert for my 2 month old. The seat seems to recline more than enough- and with the infant insert/positioner it is great! I do fasten the buckles- but the insert keeps him from flopping around. I also asked my pedi about the manufacturers caution for babies- she said as long as you don't do anything extreme where the baby would fall out(common sense for any stroller) - you are good to go! My son loves it and so does my 4 year old! This is a great buy. I agonized over this decision for a while. The construction is great, hand brake is awesome, everyone loves it!!

We have Chicco car seats that click in but our twins have to be facing the opposite direction in order to hear the safety "click"! We had them facing the same way once to take a cute photo but essentially one baby's car seat was just resting on the stroller! It was fine for the photo but not very safe if we kept it that way for our walk. We have been out driving and have seen a fellow Joovy Stroller owner out pushing her twins with them facing the same way but we are not sure how it worked unless one baby wasn't clicked in! Overall we absolutely love this stroller...so easy to pack up in the car and super easy to push both our boys around.

Did you ever get an answer to your question about being compatible with the Chicco infant seat? I was wondering the same thing. Thanks!

No. I called customer service (in Nov. 2014) to ask and I was told they do not currently have an infant attachment for the double but one may come out in the future. The representative also told me the stroller is suitable for use from birth as the seats recline quite far.

I have! My boys are 17 months apart so I needed my Safety 1st car seat to fit and it does! I use it in the "front seat" (the one furtherest from you). Sometimes I have to push the sides in, but its a nice secure fit! It's a great stroller! Highly recommend! Congrats on your growing family!

I dont have a chicco car seat but one works with all car seats and strollers easily. I guess it would depend on the size of your baby whether you would need this over what the car seat comes standard with. I personally prefer this over what comes standard with most car seats. Hope this helps...

The stroller sits too upright for a newborn who can't yet hold up his/her head. You would need to purchase the car seat adapter to sit the baby in the car seat on the stroller until he/she can hold up his/her head.

Lifting and lowering the back is a pain. I rarely do it and both my 9 month old son (no longer using the carseat, he's sitting in the actual stroller) and 2 year old daughter have fallen asleep in the stroller without any problems.

Dear Mrs. S.J Piraino. We have two daughters and the youngest one was a newborn when we got this. We used it without the car seat fine. this is an outstanding Stroller. We tried three other brands until we settled on this one (yes, we spent a lot of money). The baby will be seated a little bit "tucked" inside the seat, because it is not completely flat, or 180 degress. The beby will be more like seated, on his back. The stroller, albeit still one of the lightest of the category (if not the lightest) is still bulky. Overall i would greatly recommend this. If they somehow could make it slightly more compact and a tad lighter it would be a five star stroller. The way it is, i'd give it four. Dear Mrs. S.J Piraino.

Unfortunately, only 1. The front seat is really just a seat that reclines if there is not car seat in the back. The back is long enough for a baby to lay down. It's really been a great stroller. We love ours.
