Does this size (says it fits 6-16 lbs) fit a newborn without having to be doubled over in the front or back?

My son was about 8lbs when we started using these and I didn't need to fold down the front. I did however, fold them down for the fist few weeks (until his umbilical cord healed). Now that he is 17 lbs I use them with the next size up at night (heavy wetter).

I used them on my newborn and they fit just fine, but she was also almost 9 pounds. So I'm not sure how it would go with a smaller baby.

We bought a size large and started using it with our baby when he was 4 months old/17 pounds. It fit well, still fits now at 6 months old.

I find that it's relatively easy. I have the ErgoBaby Sport, but it goes on the same way. I think it's super easy to put on with baby in the front, a bit more tricky on the hip (though I have that down cold), and a bit more difficult on the back. I had my husband help me a few times so that I could adjust everything correctly. I have longer arms, so I can reach back and clip the back support fairly easily. I think if you go into major retailers, they'll have a sample you can try out - it took me 2-3 times, but I whip that thing on and off like nothing now. :) Hope this helps!

No. The back is not adjustable so that is why it is not good for newborn baby.

Yes it is, we bought actual newborn (0-3 month) clothes for our daughter to dress her in. We bought preemie size as well, but most of those don't fit.

My baby's head size was average/above average and it fit fine. The opening is very stretchy and I would even stretch it out by hand right before putting it on him just to loosen it up a bit more.

I'm about a size 14-16 post baby and it fits fine with plenty of room to spare. My husband is tall and stalky and he's able to wear it as well. He's about a 38 waist. I find it fits below the belly. Has a back support that's fabulous for support as well. Hope this helps :)

My daughter is 21 months and is 32" tall and she easily fits. She has her knees bent because she is still backwards facing but definitely not uncomfortable. Removing the infant insert gives you extra room.

It fits my 9 1/2 month old well with room to spare. It only covers baby's shirt.

It comes with inserts for a newborn and says on the manufacturer info. that it is for a newborn to up to a toddler. The lbs is listed on it, says 5-70lbs. The straps are a little on the heavy side (there is rubber on them) but it states that it can indeed be used for a newborn.... I used a lock in type at first and then bought this once my daughter hit 20 lbs...but it was more pricey to do that. It comes down to what is most affordable for you and what your preferences are. Maybe reach out to the manufacturer if you want more clarity. Hope this helps:)

My daughter is 6 months at 16 lbs it fits in the chest but it kind of swollows her little head. I have to keep pulling it down.

At six months my daughter was still in her carrier. I moved her from the carrier to this, but she's on the small side and was in her carrier until she was almost one. It has just as much cushioning as her carrier did, but I would be worried about it being too big.

Yes it is. It's great on wide and skinny babies. I find them better than the one size fits all, especially since my LO is on the wide side.

Hello Chris, My little boy weighs 14 lbs and he fits well in it..and loves it. I am sure your baby will fit perfect.Hope this helps with your decision. Marilyn

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.

This size is the bigger one, for 15-30 pounds (although my son is 31 and wears them). For newborns you'd need the size 1!

No it's smaller than actual size of a newborn. It's more of a premature baby size. I don't have it with me anymore to take it's exact measurements.
