Can I use this for newborn? Can I let the baby nap in this or just for playing/leisure?

I used it for newborn naps and now 6 month old loves it with the optional toy bar add on. It's awesome.

According to the BabyBjorn website, the chair is safe for newborns. And my baby did nap in it sometimes. If you put it in the lowest position, it is almost horizontal, so the baby can sleep comfortably. I haven't used it much for naps, but I did, it worked great

Our newborn has fallen asleep in this before, and he was ok--but it's not made for napping. It's a great chair for playing, bouncing, and what we use it most for is just a chair (that bounces) when baby watches us prepare dinner or do other things at home. The reason it's so great is because it supports a newborn / baby's head and let's him see or watch what's going on. This is by far the best purchase we made--even though it's not really for napping.

We didn't start using this until our daughter was 4 months old or so, I don't think. We only used it for her to hang out in, but sometimes she would fall asleep in it. If it is in the flat position it's probably ok for a baby to nap in, but I'd check the info from the manufacturer to be sure it's safe.

I'm using it for my baby to sleep in all the time, day and night. She really likes it.The vibrations helps her to fall asleep. I think it is safe for the babies to sleep in, but it is my subjective opinion.

I used the mattress in an antique bassinet that was in the family. It fir just fine for that. I would be concerned about the fit if the baby was old enough to roll around, for a new born it worked fine. Hope this helps.

A baby can sleep on it directly I suppose....but a baby can sleep on anything directly. I would use a sheet just as you would a regular mattress.

We actually have used this for sleeping when traveling. Once your baby can sit up it could be dangerous, but we have found it to be a perfect cradle.

It is meant to fit on the bottom of the playard. It's likely not firm enough for a newborn to sleep on but it's great for a bit of extra cushioning for older toddlers sleeping in the Pack 'n Play. It is the full width and length of the play yard. Hope that helps!

It actually reclines pretty low, should be good enough for newborn. Keep in mind, though, you have to use both hands to recline.

It specifically says on the lounger , that it is not for sleeping.I do allow my twins to take a very short nap in the lounger while I'm present. I do not leave them in the lounger for extended period of time as I'm worried about the back support and one of my babies has a tendency to wiggle out of the lounger even thoug he is only 8 weeks I suggest supervision at all times

I bought this for my new born. Till 6-8 months , infant feel comfortable sleeping in it. Besides, it highly depends on baby.

You can. Just keep in mind though that only half of the bassinet is then exposed. If your baby is able to roll over, he may roll under the changing station. It is recommended in the instructions to not use the changing table in this manner. Also, it is worth noting that the napper is rather difficult to take on and off, but the changing station is simple. You could remove it until you need it and just click it back into place.

My child is only 1 month so not really sure, but I imagine the child can use it for it's naptime function as is until he is ready to crawl and trying to break lose out of it himself.. then he can use it as a cushion type chair to sit/lean over...

I would not put a newborn in this. The seat does not lay flat and so they would be thrown around too much. I also bought the single citi mini which is virtually identical and the salesperson told me that it is not recommended for a child under 6 months.

You can't. It is helpful to play it to help the baby relax and fall in deep sleep, but once the baby does- the sound could actually wake him/her up if it kept running, so it might not be a good idea to keep it running all night anyway.

Yes it will. Although you probably won't get that much use out of it because soon your baby will want to move around and see more of his/her surroundings and because the angle of the seat is not adjustable (i.e. can't be set into a more upright position and it doesn't bounce, your baby little one may get bored. That said, as long as your baby isn't that inclined to move yet, it's a good + safe place to put your him/her for a short nap or a bathroom/shower break for whoever is taking care.

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

That's exactly what I've been using it for. I just adjust his head every so often to make sure it's supported because since this is on an incline, his head can slump down a bit sometimes. However, since you're feeding every 3 hrs you have plenty of opportunity to reposition. It's the only thing my newborn will sleep in. He wouldn't use the flat co-sleeper bassinet/pack and play we bought--I think because it made his stomach hurt because he couldn't get his burps out flat on his back. This is one of the few incline sleepers. It's very easy to pack from room to room.

i put my newborn in it...at 3 or 4 weeks, she was fine in it. No reason why a newborn couldnt be in it. It doesnt have to be completely flat to have a newborn . (just make sure that they are on they're back and have the newborn head supports , and are all cozy, confined and swaddled. Its all good )
