It is so heavy carrying DS in his carseat. However, we have a two door car and getting him in and out of the car is easier than it will be when we put him in the read-facing convertible. We're keeping him in the infant seat as long as possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842708 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 06:45:36 +0000 oliviaoblivia 842708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, she's so big! L is just a few weeks behind and is 98.6% in weight and I don't think she's broken 19 lbs yet. Way to grow A!</p> <p>We've used an umbrella stroller already. We reclined it a little so she wasn't fully upright. She is very strong and didn't slump over at all.</p> <p>You know your LO better than us, if you think she'll be ok you're probably right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842700 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 06:32:55 +0000 heffalump 842700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842664 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 03:18:37 +0000 Sweet T 842664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started using one when DS was about 6 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842649 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 01:43:30 +0000 MaisyMay 842649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: A is a big little girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842648 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 01:42:30 +0000 MaisyMay 842648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: She's not the one who was uncomfortable, we were! Her weight plus the carseat was right about 30 pounds. That plus multiple bags and I was dying taking her out to the car every morning. It seems easier to carry her in one arm and my bags over my shoulder, and saving the 8 pounds is heavenly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842624 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:48:17 +0000 lamariniere 842624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used ours from birth because it lays flat. Your LO does sound ready, especially if you have a recline position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842546 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 22:42:00 +0000 Mrs. Bee 842546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think she's ready. 23 pounds is bigger than olive at 20 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842514 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 22:09:37 +0000 googly-eyes 842514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She sounds ready. I know a lot of them say six months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842461 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 21:08:36 +0000 hilsy85 842461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started around 6 months...I think ours says you can use it from 3 months because it reclines. I think you could switch now if you wanted to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842405 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 20:18:14 +0000 Katrocap 842405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maisymay: We haven't switched to umbrella strollers yet, so I can't help, but I have a question for you. My DS is 5 months, 20 lbs and we are considering switching to a convertible seat soon. Why did you switch now? The weight limit on ours is 22 lbs and he doesn't seem uncomfortable yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842300 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 19:27:37 +0000 T-Mom 842300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put my DS in our umbrella stroller around 6 months. I think you would be ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842147 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 17:13:34 +0000 autumnlove 842147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like she might be ready. We asked our dr for the go ahead around that time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/umbrella-stroller-2#post-842119 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 16:50:53 +0000 MaisyMay 842119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When is it safe to introduce an umbrella stroller? Right now DH adores his jogging stroller and I'm starting to think that the travel system stroller is too big for my little car. LO is 5 1/2 months, 23 pounds. She has excellent head/neck control and switched to convertible car seats last weekend. </p>
