I used one of those body snugglers though to support her because it was still a bit roomy. She was also still always in a bit of a recline since sitting almost fully upright wasn't something she was too used to yet. I had to get used to her facing out in the stroller, but it was fine as we only used it a few times at that age.</p> <p>With 2.0, she is almost 6 months and not anywhere near being in one partly because we use our double a lot now and I don't want her to face out just yet... I guess I'm baby-ing my baby a bit more the 2nd time around :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller#post-39525 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 21:19:35 +0000 Rosie Girl 39525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he was around 1. We didn't need one around where we live, but we got one when we went on vacation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller#post-39511 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:57:56 +0000 venice4504 39511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an UppaBaby G-luxe that I use now in the recline position (he's 4 months) for short jaunts. Anything more than about 30 minutes though I usually just opt to bring our Vista. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller#post-39503 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:49:10 +0000 chopsuey 39503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: we have the volo. Not a fan. The straps and buckle bug me. I got it as a gift though and threw the box away before I realized I didn't like the 100 dollar umbrella stroller that doesn't recline. Blah. We don't use it often though. We usually carry her in the ergo. By we I mean dh :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller#post-39494 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:39:46 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 39494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Which one do you have? We got the Quest. Like it so far, but the buckle kind of annoys me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller#post-39459 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:35:32 +0000 Mrs. Bee 39459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didn't need one until charlie was older because we just used our city mini. we started using our umbrella stroller on a trip when he was 1. they're designated for 6 months and up though.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller#post-39455 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:15:21 +0000 banana 39455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Bugaboo Bee and he started using it at around 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller#post-39454 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 19:13:04 +0000 chopsuey 39454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a maclaren.
