Can a child sleep comfortably in this stroller? Does it collapse to a certain degree for an 18 month old to sleep in?

Our 17 month old had been sleeping in ours since he was 8 weeks ago. He loves it that much he still has both his day sleeps in it!

Yes, my daughter still falls asleep in the stroller during jogs and is now over 2 yrs old. I have never had a problem raising or lowering the back. To lower it, I use my knee to support the child while releasing the slip adjustments. The only drawback is that the child's legs remain in a bent position. I have often thought it would be nice if the feet could be raised for more comfortable sleeping.

Yes, our 18 month old baby is sleeping well inside. it reclines to almost fully horizontal.

Lifting and lowering the back is a pain. I rarely do it and both my 9 month old son (no longer using the carseat, he's sitting in the actual stroller) and 2 year old daughter have fallen asleep in the stroller without any problems.

I would say yes. It tilts down to approximately 25 degrees. So it's not going to be the best sleeping position ever, but more than sufficient for their head not to fall forward the whole time during a run. Even at the maximum "up" position (which I would guess around 50 degrees) is sufficient for them to have a great snooze. Just my 2c...

Unless you can get a head support, this is not suitable for a child under 3 months old. We just started using it for my nephew who is now 4 months old and it works very nicely. However, he has better control of holding his head and sitting up. It's a great lightweight stroller, though.

Its a platform with straps. Your 18 mOnth old will be able to sit and be strapped in but it's not like a full seat... Just a flat surface. I like that the stroller is not as large as other doubles but two things I don't like are that if you recline the front seat for the smaller baby, it doesn't leave much room for the older baby in the back. Also, the basket underneath is kind of difficult to get in and out of.

No, there is not a fully reclined position, if that's what you're asking. There is very upright and not-so-upright. "Recline" is really a very loosely-used term when used in relation to this stroller. :) Having said that, I love this stroller. I used it for my 6-month-old with no problems. The reclined position is just reclined enough that she could nap without slumping. The straps are not a harness though, so you'll have to be careful with that.

My son is 10 months old and still naps in this on occasion...and he is large for his age. I can't remember at what age he outgrew the bassinet feature; I think sometime around 4 months. But, after the bassinet is outgrown, you can just put the mattress in the bottom and they nap down there. I wouldn't use this for a full-time crib at this age; but for the occasional nap or overnight trip, my son is perfectly comfortable in it. He is not going to fit in it much longer. My daughter outgrew it sometime around her first birthday.

Yes - it's comfortable if you can extend the handle bar all the way (their head goes between). The stroller is so easy to push that sometimes I'd walk to the side a bit but you can also walk behind depending on how tall you are. My son stands on it for decent periods of time and when / if he gets tired he actually will sit on it.

My daughter is almost 6 months and still sleeps in ours. I will probably keep her in it as long as she is comfortable. I know Leachco does not approve this as a sleeping device, but it has been the best thing for us. It seems like you can use it well into toddler stages. It has an adjustable Velcro strap that allows you to adjust snugness on it to allow it to grow as your baby grows. Good luck!

3 months (or less for us.. our 2 1/2 month old loves it). We bought it at the store and the label said 3 months and up (to 50/55 lbs). It reclines so that younger babies are comfortable in it. I was so glad to find a stroller that fits a young babe and is compact enough to not take up a ton of space in our small apartment.

No, it doesn't lay completely flat but it reclines well enough for a baby to sleep comfortably. I really love this stroller!

I'm not sure, I'd have to look up my stroller instructions, but my baby is 4 months old and weighs about 16-17lbs (I think or more) and he still uses the bassinet. His feet aren't too close to the edge. Even if I lift the bassinet to stroller position now his feet dont get cramned too much at the end. I like this because if it is windy or raining it doesn't get him all wet. The hood of the stroller would be nicer if it was a little bigger or had a middle position. There isn't any shocksystem, but it's a stroller and I'm not jogging or going over bumpy terrain with it. I love the stroller. But I can't see some people not.

If you are co-sleeping it should be fine. But if you want it to actually contain the little one, I would recommend a pack 'n play instead, as mine at 11 months could easily climb out.

Reclines about 1/2 way I would say - I think it's just enough for a nap. I have been using this since my baby was 6 mos (now 10) - and recently took it on vacation. I wouldn't recommend for younger than 6 mos tho. It's so light/compact. Folds down literally with one hand and stores away easily.

Maybe? This has come up on car-seat.org several times. It seems Diono has said yes it is OK, but they had to draw the line somewhere. If you feel your child is OK in the more upright position, then I guess it becomes a parental decision. I will point out, though, that my 2 1/2yo often slumps in this seat when sleeping, so with an 8mo, it might be even worse. I don't think you're going to get a hard and fast yes or no. You could call diono yourself and see what they are currently saying. http://www.car-seat.org/showpost.php?p=2139611&postcount;=35

I doubt this would be comfortable for twins. I would not have wanted to put a 6 month old in the rumble seat. It has very little support and no ability to recline. It is not ideal for babies/toddlers who like to nap in the stroller. We purchased a city mini gt double and are happy with it.

Well my granddaughter that just turned 1 seems to find if very comfortable and can fall asleep and stay asleep on long drives. I like the way it tilts in a reclining angle for comfort.

My baby is 6 months and still sleeps on it with plenty of room for her to move around still. We have friends who's son is a year and still sleeps in his. My daughter prefers the smaller space of the cosleeper over her crib. So we haven't transitioned her yet. Good luck!

It looks comfortable for my daughter who is 2.5yo. She is not too low to the ground. The cons for me is that it's a little tight in the back that it's a tad difficult for my daughter to get in the stroller and i usually have to lift her up onto the stroller. And the seat has to be taken out to be stowed and put back on the stroller when needed. But i think the rumble might be a little unsuitable for a 6mo old? If you can, go to a baby store that has it and see it. Because the rumble doesn't recline, the strap on it is not as strong and tight for younger babies.
