She was getting too long for the bassinet. We reclined the away and used a head support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375709 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 14:36:43 +0000 betsyboop 1375709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think between 4-5 months and we reclined it. She was so much happier in the stroller seat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375617 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 13:44:47 +0000 hilsy85 1375617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around. 5 months. I reclined it. You can also get an insert (jj cold makes a standard one) to help support the head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375606 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 13:34:38 +0000 Cherrybee 1375606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is 6 months old but doesn't sit unassisted yet. I took her out in the pushchair a couple of weeks ago and she looked perfectly comfortable and enjoyed being able to look about. My car has been in for repair ever since so we haven't been anywhere but I will be using the pushchair without the car seat attachment from now on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375605 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 13:32:53 +0000 Kemma 1375605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ten or twelve weeks from memory. She wasn't enjoying lying flat and our Mountain Buggy is safe to use from newborn so we used the partial recline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375603 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 13:30:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 1375603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think C is definitely ready for the seat in the UBV, but it's so much easier for me to carry her down the stairs in the infant car seat at this point. She hated the bassinet, after I was adamant that we HAD to have it. So we had to get the car seat attachment.</p> <p>ETA: She is almost 6 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375600 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 13:21:39 +0000 shopaholic 1375600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>~ 6.5-7 months. But she was on the smaller side and didn't sit up well. Most ppl I know IRL started around 5-6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375575 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 12:45:24 +0000 illumina 1375575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question. At 4mths we might need to wait a little, but she hates lying down, so hopefully sitting up might help :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375568 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 12:37:41 +0000 delight 1375568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok super! Sounds like I'll be ok using it now with LO at 5 months. She just looks really cramped in her pram. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375563 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 12:29:05 +0000 Charm54 1375563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took LO out in her UBV seat for the first time last weekend and she is 4months old. I didn't have to recline it fully (maybe 3/4?) and she did great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375540 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 12:04:58 +0000 MusicaV 1375540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used our car seat attachment regularly (Peg Perego in UBV) but started using the stroller seat occasionally at 5 months. I don't think I ever reclined him all the way unless he was sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375524 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 11:50:05 +0000 MrsRcCar 1375524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6-7 months perhaps. I am not sure because we babywear so often. He was in his carrier seat for a long time, because he is on the smaller side. He has always had great control of his head and neck. I will be honest though he didn't care for the stroller and still doesn't really like it. He prefers to be worn in one way or another. The stroller is nice if we go shopping all day because he can put him down to sleep. Plus now he is nearly 16 months old and I am 8 months pregnant with LO # 2 so he gets a lot more stroller time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375515 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 11:44:33 +0000 birdofafeather 1375515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think maybe 3-4 months. She was reclined but not flat (ours went flat but she hated it). I put one of those infant head rest things in there to sturdy her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375469 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 11:17:28 +0000 autumnlove 1375469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 weeks in the City Mini GT double that reclines pretty deep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375463 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 11:11:10 +0000 tinyperson 1375463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months or so...when she was no longer happy lying flat in the bassinet. Ours reclines pretty far back, but I don't know that we ever had her reclining that far (unless I was trying to get her to sleep in there - which never happened). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375407 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 10:47:51 +0000 Ra 1375407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've put him in our jogging stroller seat since he was about 3 months old. When he was younger I just reclined it as far as it would go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375401 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 10:40:36 +0000 ALV91711 1375401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 7 months, after we had switched to a convertible car seat. Didn't really have much choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-stroller-seat#post-1375365 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 10:11:20 +0000 delight 1375365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since LO's birth we have used a bassinet in our Quinny stroller. At 5 months, she is getting too long for it and is almost at the 15lb weight limit. We don't have a car seat attachment so the next step is to use the Quinny seat. Is a stroller seat safe to use at 5 months? It does recline, but not fully flat. She has good head control but does not sit up yet. Even assisted she's pretty wobbly. When did you put your LO in a stroller (without a bassinet or car seat)? </p>
