How does it accomodate growing babies? Do you sit them on the opposite direction? What is the age range that you recommend?

It is great for newborns thru approximately 6 mos or so. After that, they tend to want to sit up and it's not really designed for that.

It doesn't accommodate growing babies - it's very small. Once they can sit up, it's pretty useless.

I think the directions say you have to put it in the reclined position for rear facing. My son is 21 months and that still is how he sits (though I'm sure he's ready to turn around as soon as I am).

yes, it is perfect. I have a 3 1/2 yr old, 2 yr old and 10 month old and I have used this stroller for all 3 kids at all varying ages. My 3 1/2 yr old fits on top still, not so much on the bottom. My 2 yr old can sit in either chair and actually enjoys both. The chairs are large enough and seem to have enough head room that the older kids have no difficulty sitting in comfort. Even when I put my baby in the bottom chair and recline it all of the way while he's sleeping, the recline position doesn't impede my walking (I'm 5'10 for reference). I have put this stroller through the ringer and have even used it with all 3 kids at the same time (Don't ask!) and I love it. It's very durable. yes, it is perfect.

Hi! There is still room for a toddler or child when the infant seats are still in place. I had twin babies when my son was almost two. This was the only stroller I could find at the time (6 years ago), that would work for us. It is a dream to push when empty, but it is VERY hard to push and turn with babies on board. I quit using it when the babies were 12 months old. I hated this stroller, but didn't have much choice....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fkfhupn2xQI bought this for my 1 year old grandaughter, she is petite and had more than enough room for another 1year old. We put a pillow in front when she first received it. Now at 1/ 1/2 years old you could still get two in, but depending on their body length it might be less room than you want. I am including a link that has an adult sitting in it, so you can get an idea. It has worked well for us, but if you have two larger children, you might look at something a step up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fkfhupn2xQ

It's fine for newborns, up to 6 months or so. But there isn't a lot of room for rolling back and forth after that. And if your infant can stand, either unsupported or by supporting him/herself, I wouldn't use this cradle, even if you lock the cradle so it can't rock. It just isn't that deep.

I think it depends on how old/big your toddler is? I have a 16 month old and she has no problem in the too seat. It's at a slight recline so she has lots of personal space. I have also had my friend's 3 year old sit in the seat with no issues.

I used it when my child was 5-6 months old. He didn't fit perfectly but I got the belt as tight as it would go. then put blankets on either side of him to keep him sitting straight. He loved it. He's almost 3 and still loves riding in it.

Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns. It lays pretty flat on the floor so if you put your 9 month old baby in it they'll just sit in it like you put them on a bean bag... But can easily roll over. We gave ours away by 6 months as we didn't use it for the baby...My 3year old loved it and pretended she was a turtle :) watch out for the seams though- I returned mine and the second one also split (and little styrofoam beads spilled everywhere) so I sewed the second one. I don't really recommend these seats period. Assuming you mean 9 month old? And it's big enough but I don't really recommend it for that age. (Or at all to be honest)It's really best for newborns.

My daughter is very tall also, 100% for her age group. At 18 months and 35inches, she is at the next to the top shoulder strap. The manufacturer recommends turning it forward facing when they reach the top strap holder. I just asked our pediatrician at our 18 month check up what we should do when she reaches that point as I am sure it will be soon, and before she is 2 which is the law in CA. His response was to turn her around when she reaches the top strap even if it is before age 2 as she will then be big enough. That being said we bought this carseat for traveling. It is the smallest and lightest carseat we could find. She seems very comfortable in it. The bottom strap to attach it via car latches does not adjust on both sides which makes getting a perfectly tight fit impossible. It has good safety ratings but in comparison to the Britax carseat we use for every day, it really doesn't seem as safe or tighly secured in the car. Hope this helps.

I put my two month old in it in the fully reclined position. She is fine. I don't run with her in it yet though. We just walk.

I got ours for a 1 year old and it is fine for him and probably for another few years, for a 3 year old I would go with something bigger so they can grow into it!

I think the recline was steep enough that our son didn't need it, even when he was a brand newborn baby. Now that he's 6 months, he definitely doesn't need any extra support. He always liked to turn his head to the side, but since the rocker doesn't hold them upright, it didn't make his head sag.

I browsed their book, didn't find minimum only maximum(40 inches/50lbs). We switched to the toddler seat as soon as our boy could seat well without support( 7 month old) he was 26 inches tall then, he's almost 9 now and it looks like he can grow and grow and the stroller won't ever get small. I don't find the toddler seat very comfy btw, and I doubt my baby enjoys it (((( We chose this one only coz it comes with a bassinet.

I started forward facing when my baby reached 25 lbs (20 months). Her legs bent alot if she sits rear facing and started kicking the wall because she couldn't put her legs straight.

I have mine rear facing for my 13 month son. We mostly have it reclined but can not recline to all positions. I think it would sit up to all the positions but this is not necessary because his head would slump forward. He is reclined enough though. I can adjust it whenever I need and it is already belted into the seat. The annoying thing for us is tightening the dang straps!

I would say it's good for a baby AT LEAST six months or older so they can move around in it. My baby is seven and a half months and she is finallyHaving a good time on her own in it ;)
