However, if we drive somewhere, it is still just easier to snap the car seat into the stroller than to take him out of the car seat and strap him into the stroller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-stroller-wo-the-carseat#post-300299 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:07:56 +0000 matador84 300299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine reclines back so he is in a laying position...have been using since 8 days old with no car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-stroller-wo-the-carseat#post-300060 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:56:39 +0000 Mrsbells 300060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 5 months old this friday and we still have never put her in the stroller without the car seat. we only use it on weekends. She has excellent head control but since she still fits in the car seat we still use that for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-stroller-wo-the-carseat#post-300052 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:52:23 +0000 looch 300052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our all terrain stroller, that both reclines in the back and has a footrest that can be adjusted so it's completely flat, I think it was about 8 months, after he outgrew the bassinet attachment. I loved it too much to change it out, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-stroller-wo-the-carseat#post-300048 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:49:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 300048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a jeep liberty and thought general rule was 6 months but he still slumps over. We put a headrest in there but it's not so functional. </p> <p>Since it will be getting cooler I may keep using the carseat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-stroller-wo-the-carseat#post-300038 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:46:18 +0000 lavender 300038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started using just the stroller last week so 5 1/2 months because she was getting so heavy to carry around in her carseat. We let her sit reclined in the stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-stroller-wo-the-carseat#post-300018 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:41:20 +0000 pinkcupcake 300018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped using the infant carseat with our Chicco system around 5 months? I think it couldve been sooner but LO only likes to be held so we rarely use our stroller </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-stroller-wo-the-carseat#post-299687 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:22:20 +0000 keiki_mama 299687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put LO in the City Mini at 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-stroller-wo-the-carseat#post-299685 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:21:35 +0000 autumnlove 299685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't use an umbrella stroller until LO was 7 months and sitting up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-stroller-wo-the-carseat#post-299684 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:21:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 299684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She used it pretty much right away because it went basically flat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-stroller-wo-the-carseat#post-299678 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 11:19:20 +0000 yin 299678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started within a month.

LO has good head control but I think she'd just slump over in her stroller. </p>
