Is there a weight minimum for the baby to lounge on this product safely? We have a preemie

Info on the Bobby says its especially made for preemies, and also says up to 16#

I do not believe there is a weight minimum, just a max of 16 or 18 lbs (and by that weight our son was getting too long for it, anyway). Best of luck to you all!

Not that I'm aware of. We used it from the beginning with a 5lb. Baby and loved it. It was nice to be able to pick up and set the baby down without disturbing them.

I just called Diono to ask about this. The rep told me that the baby has to have full head control and to be able to sit unassisted before using this.

Not sure what you would consider safe materials for your baby. I can only tell you to check out the product detail on the mattress. My baby sleeps like a baby on this :). It's dual sides, wish my mattress is like that. Also waterproof and has no smell.

if your baby need a little more support sitting, then no. I would still recommend something with more cushion.we had to make a cover for the back had rest, or put a blanket, because they throw themselves back and hit there heads pretty hard on the wood.

anytime. it is just a portable crib, so safe for baby from birth, but i personally think that babies prefer a smaller space when tiny so I always liked using a portable bassinet when they were really little, like the Brica fold and go travel bassinet.

Depends on how old child is. My baby is 4 months and can't roll off it. However for a newborn it is a little hard, we put a blanket down for cushion.

It's not mandatory. My little girl was 5lbs 12 oz when we left the hospital and we got away without using an insert. Now I would recommend it if the infant has to use it to sleep in at night if they don't like the bassinet. It would simply just fit better because my LO slides down a little bit if she gets to moving which isn't a huge deal but she gets uncomfortable.

No, it should be fine. My baby is small (18 months, 22 pounds) and we've been using it for the past few months. It's adjustable.

It is an newborn mattress...enough to support small weights like less then 20 pounds or so

It is safe and comfortable for the baby to sleep on the bottom. I'm 5' tall and I just had a bit of a problem reaching the bottom...not much, but a little. My back is in pretty good shape so it didn't hurt my back, that will depend on you. Sorry I can't be more specific. Hope you love the pack n play!

I have my 3 month old in there, he is a bit too small but I just put a folded blanket below his feet so they touch the ground, and behind his back so he isn't so wobbly and it works great. I think the official weight limit is 25 lbs, not sure about the height.

I'm pretty sure it's ok for 8 week infant. Although, I exchanged this for Babybjorn Miracle, which I liked mush more, it's not as bulky as Comfort one

It accommodated my newborn just fine. The head can be floppy though, so I would consider a head support pillow. I didn't have one, so I can't speak for how well they hold the head off the chest, which is what happened with my baby all the time. Side support in the Bob was fine.

I would be comfortable with my baby sleeping on it belly down. It has some cush but is not thick or soft enough to pose a health risk in my unexpert opinion.

Yes! My daughter has been using this since she was 3 months old and loves it. Shes now 4 months old and weighs 13lbs. You will need to put a pillow below her feet for support because her feet wont reach the floor. I also roll up a receiving blanket and wrap it around her chest to help keep her steady in the seat.

The mattress is about an inch, I think - smooth but not soft. I would not think there were any risks to infants.

I would say you don't need one. I just used a blanket for our little one. She's still too little to roll over so we don't use the straps either. It's a pretty deep seat, you'll see what I mean when you get it.
