I don't know. If it doesn't specifically state so in the description, then I would contact the manufacturer to find out.

Yes, this car seat can be used rear facing for children 5 to 45 lbs. and forward facing for children 22 to 65 lbs.

I wouldn't use this for a newborn. You can lay the back down all the way and buckle the baby in but it is better if they can hold their head up.

There is no base for this carseat. This is a convertible seat. The infant seats have separate bases. You would need to purchase another entire unit for another vehicle.

Yes. You can recline the seats independently of each other. You can lay one almost completely flat for the newborn. Try using a stroller insert to keep their head stable. Or purchasing the infant bassinet via baby jogger's website. This does NOT have a car seat adapter that will work with it. However it is NOT a good idea to ever jog with a newborn. Not until both kids have strong head support at least 6 mo+.

Yes, the carseat clicks into the stroller. the stroller alone should not be used for newborns.

If it the same size as car seat that I think you can use it. It is very good for infant car seat, fits perfectly and hold the shape.

Seat not appropriate for newborn, but car seat works great with adapter. Frame can only fold with forward facing seat, or alone.

No experience doing it, but Britax says you can put a newborn in the second seat - and I really can't see why you couldn't put one in the top seat. I have my 11 mo in the top seat. I would be perfectly comfortable putting a newborn in there with a body support around him/her.

Yes. As i recall, newborns have pretty specific stroller requirements. A newborn would be swimming in this thing and not strapped in safely.

Yes, definitely! That's why I bought it. It has a harness, so you can strap the newborn down so they don't slide around.

I didn't use this for my baby as a newborn. Personally, I'd prefer something more substantial for a newborn

I don't think it is good for a newborn. When my daughter was born i was unble to use it becuase the seat it is to deep and i felt that she was kind of sinking into the seat, it was forcing her little back to seat and a newborn is not yet ready for that.

If you choose to skip the infant carrier (perfectly safe to do so) this seat is one that DOES fit newborns well. The strap slots are low enough to fit average and some smaller newborns well. This seat only has one recline line so it is important to make sure it is properly reclined (line level to the ground). There is some infant padding with the seat and rolled receiving blankets can be placed on either side of an infant to provide additional support and prevent any slouching over until baby has better head control. There are many Car Seat Safety Groups that recommend this seat as a choice for newborns who aren't using infant carriers.

No, I would not use this for a newborn. A baby should be able to sit up on their own before you use this product for sure. We didn't start using it until our baby was about 5.5 months old.

It has great support for a newborn! You do not need anything extra - that's why I went with this car seat! (Baby is 4 weeks now)

Yes. The baby has to be at least 5 pounds. There is a newborn insert as well up to 21 pounds. There is no handle on the seat. The seat stays in the car. I like this seat since i take my baby out and wear him with either the moby or ergo carrier. He absolutely loves this seat compared to the Chicco key fit 30 we had before. He used to cry every time we would put him in that seat. Now he happily plays or sleeps.

Although you could buy an infant insert, I wouldn't recommend this for a newborn. It just doesn't recline enough for a newborn to be in a good position that supports their neck. I switched to this seat when my son was 7 months old and had good head control
