Baby Boy loved his walks even as an infant. That said, if I was going somewhere that was going to be too bumpy I preferred to carry him in the Moby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-124047 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:43:51 +0000 winniebee 124047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Great timing, right? Today it is going to be 80 in Boston and it's so nice to think that I will be enjoying weather like this with my LO soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-124041 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:42:12 +0000 mediagirl 124041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I can't wait!! I'm so excited she is going to be born in the early summer (hopefully...as long as she doesn't come too late). :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-124030 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:37:32 +0000 winniebee 124030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Phil &amp; Ted's that doesn't have a bassinet but does lie flat so I plan on using that or the snap n go with our car seat. Won't spring/summer walks be so lovely!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-124023 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:33:32 +0000 Maysprout 124023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had an infant car seat that went into our stroller. But for walks when she was really little me and my husband would just carry her and trade off if she got heavy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-124022 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:32:20 +0000 Andrea 124022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: i only took the LO out at around 8:30 in the morning and even then it was getting hot since this was during the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-124021 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:32:08 +0000 MegWag 124021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: That's the exact stroller we have! I think you should be fine. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-124014 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:28:26 +0000 mediagirl 124014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: you mean don't dress her in 3 layers as a newborn even though that's what my MIL swears she will need? In June. In NC.... ;-) I think mid-day walks in July and August will definitely be out. They're too hot for ME, I can't imagine taking a newborn out there that time of day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-124007 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:26:04 +0000 chopsuey 124007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: ooh.. dood. totally didn't know you're in nc! yeah, carrier might be too warm, but if you walk in the am or evening it should be okay i think. especially if you dress for the weather?<br /> dang. i would go crazy if I woke up at 4am.. i need my sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-124004 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:25:45 +0000 mediagirl 124004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: we're getting the B-Agile and I think it goes back far enough. When we tested it at BBB, the guy helping us said as long as we use one of those inserts, she should be fine. I'm hoping so, I would hate to get her all sweaty and hot if not needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123996 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:23:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 123996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea we found that the infant insert in the ergo was a bit warm (August in FL). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123991 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:22:24 +0000 mediagirl 123991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: yeah...4am again. It's going to be June when she's born and we'll have all summer for walks together. I was worried the Ergo or car seat in stroller would be too warm in our hot summers here in NC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123935 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:08:26 +0000 MegWag 123935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took our son out in the stroller (laid flat) for the first time when he was 4 weeks or so. No inserts or anything and it was fine. That said, he's very sturdy and doesn't seem as floppy as most little babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123934 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:08:24 +0000 T.H.O.U. 123934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: We used the Britax B-Ready stroller with our infant for short walks when she was a newborn. It lays pretty much flat and we used a head support. We stayed on paved roads so it wasn't bumpy and it was fine. It was too hot to have her in the car seat. </p> <p>The ergo also works well for walks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123932 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:08:19 +0000 chopsuey 123932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dang you were up early this morning!!<br /> We didn't really take walks with our LO.. I would probably take an infant out for walks in a sling or carrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123924 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:05:03 +0000 Mrsbells 123924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the car seat is a bit heavy to carry for a long walk. I would either use a stroller or a carrier like ergo baby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123917 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:02:46 +0000 regberadaisy 123917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a infant car seat adaptor for our stroller that I'll be using. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123830 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 05:38:46 +0000 Andrea 123830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: i would probably give the stroller a test run first and see how much she moves around in it, if at all. in the car seat + stroller frame, the baby is super secure. i just don't know how that compares with the stroller. but it sounds fine in theory with the insert!! </p> <p>i am just picturing you taking a lovely stroll through your neighborhood - pushing a stroller. loving it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123826 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 05:35:19 +0000 mediagirl 123826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: we are getting a Britax carseat and stroller where the carseat snaps into the stroller. I'm just trying to figure out, do we need her in the carseat or can we just plop her in the stroller with the insert? </p> <p>Yup, some of these things we start thinking about now that we have less than 2 months to go! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123817 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 05:19:08 +0000 Andrea 123817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the same as Mr. Bee. Are you getting a stroller frame?</p> <p>Otherwise, if your stroller has a special insert so that the baby won't be jostled around, then that sounds great, too. How exciting!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123803 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 04:56:05 +0000 heffalump 123803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If there's a special insert I feel like it should be fine. We have the chicco keyfit travel system so she was in the car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123786 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 03:34:26 +0000 mrbee 123786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a Graco stroller frame!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2011/11/10/stroller-saga/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2011/11/10/stroller-saga/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infants-and-walks-around-the-neighborhood#post-123785 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 03:30:34 +0000 mediagirl 123785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I Iive in a nice neighborhood where I can walk out my front door and take a 3-4 mile walk without having to go on the main road. After our baby is here, while I'm on leave, I'd like to take her on walks with me but don't want to have to deal with the carseat. We aren't getting a pram but my stroller will lay almost flat and I have an insert for it. Is that enough for walking around with a wobbly infant? </p> <p>How do you go for walks with your infant? Did you just put her in the stroller and do or use the carseat? </p> <p>I'll have a carrier, as well but I'm thinking of when I want her in the stroller and not strapped to me. </p>
