can this be used with a newborn?

Yes! There are many different "holds" you can place your child in. There is one way specifically for a newborn. That hold is the only acceptable way to place your newborn. As you will read in the instructional booklet, other holds should be for after they are 2 months of age because of the positioning of their hips in that position. It is important not to place a newborns hips apart without support under the thigh because this can lead to hip dysplasia since newborns hips are free floating in the socket until they are older. I really enjoy this wrap! It is worth giving it a shot and if you find something you don't like it is very easy to return an Amazon purchase! Hope this helps and congrats on your new addition!

In my opinion yes it can and the instructions that come with the carrier show you how to position a baby to support the head. Its very snug and therefore will hold a newborn very securely. I used mine with my son after he was a month old and it was fine.

I have been using it with my baby since she was 4 weeks old and 8.5lbs. I would have used it sooner if I had had it. If I have another child I will use it from the beginning!

No. So it's really only good for newborns. Once the baby starts moving around, there won't be alot of room.

I would say it would be too small for a newborn, as the basket is only 10 inches in diameter. It would be big enough for a small baby to sit in I would think, but they would have to be able to sit.

No, there is a separate attachment that you can buy from Amazon if you need to carry your newborn inside this.

No, I would not use that for a newborn. There are frames that fit the car carriers. Far more suitable for a newborn.

I wouldn't use the stroller by itself with a newborn because the seat is not designed for a newborn (not enough support), and baby doesn't have the head/neck strength to sit up in it. However, we bought the carseat adapter so we can use it with our infant carseat, and it works great! Very easy to snap in and out. Just took my 1-week old for a walk in it this morning!

I don't recall specifically but description says "yes". We loved using it with our grandson as a newborn. Really cute. Parents kept it right by their bed at night for easy access.

I would not recommend it for a newborn. I feel it is way too soft for that. The company does not recommend using it w the graco...we did use it with the graco but not till my daughter was around 8 months. There is a one inch gap between the mattress and the sides of the PNP. If you decide to order you can see how soft it is and decide (it's not technically soft but the casing is not tight enough around the core so it creates some billowing). The company has great customer service and we have many other products from them.

The new born may be too tiny for this. Second thing, some times babies will startle when you spray water on them, so the chances of slipping are a lot which is dangerous ( solution: Use a towel on top of this as it increase friction and reduces slippage)The mesh is soft enough for the new born's skin.We ended up returning ours, but got it as a gift from a friend, so ended up using it!. Folds terrible, but other wise works fine.

yes. this seat is designed to fit newborn through toddler. the lowest seat adjustment plus cushioned inserts give a lot of support for a newborn. the only downside i would say for a small baby is that there is not handle so this seat cannot be carried around through a store or something if baby is sleeping.

Depends on the age of the child I would guess. Ours is used by a newborn so no. But once she is more mobile then maybe

It absolutely provides enough support for a newborn. I use it for my 3 month old great nephew but we've put him in it since he was nearly 2 months old without incident.

No- possibly for very small newborns, however I had to move my son out of it at 4 months because he moved so much and needed more space.

Very suitable for newborns, we use it in a portable crib.I don't believe you are supposed to use it for a pack n play, would not fit exactly as it needs to for safety.

Yes it will accommodate a newborn, but the head will still need extra support!

I think a newborn would be fine in this swing as long as you put the swing speed on low. The weight in the swing is what determines how fast the swing will go on any set speed. Being a lighter weight baby with a newborn thus it will go much slower. It's such a great size as you're not always tripping over the legs or base and is very portable to move from room to room. It can even be set on a table, counter or coffee table as long as they are stable and with adult supervision. If you have pets and you don't want the baby down on the floor by them you have the option of moving this swing up on something as long as you don't leave them unsupervised. I bought this swing for my now 3-1/2 month old grandson and have used it before that. I don't advise using it as a bed for a baby, but they certainly can take a nap in it as long as you are there. It's universal for either a boy or a girl and a great little swing with the Fisher-Price name behind it.

The standard seat is too small for a new born. You'd have to attach a proper car seat to it. I'm not sure which are compatible if any.
