How old does my baby have to be to start using this stroller? Is there enough head support for a 7-month-old?

Absolutely. I began using the stroller with my 2 month old, for walking only. I started jogging when he was 4 months. I think the recommendation is 6 months, so go for it!

This jogger has a mild recline and a 5 point harness, your 7 month old should be just fine in it. I started using at 9 months but my son had full control of his neck muscles when we bought ours. My son prefers this stroller over his Graco that came with our car seat. I run regularly, it's a great stroller.

It may depend on the baby's weight. My daughter is 19lbs and 10 months old and she is just now able to use it,. It does not offer much support, but I bet you could put a blanket or something in there to support it.

We used with an adapter that allowed us to use the infants car seat when they were too young for the seat. Worked well we had a Chicco car seat.

We use the infant seat with it and our done is almost 8 months although he can probably go without it now

I bought this for my niece and she said she used a head support and it worked fine.

I would not use it w an infant below 3-4 months depending on the baby. Bought it when my son was 8 months old and it's a great quick or travel stroller.

We bought one for our son and daughter-in-law when our grandbaby was about 17 months old. She was old enough to enjoy being out but too small to have her own bike. She probably would have done fine a few months earlier. However, until your baby can sit up and support his/her own head you would want to place a baby carrier inside of the bike trailer or continue to use a stroller until the baby is a bit older. P.S. After months of using it she still loves it.

We had our son in it at three months but I think it's safe to say that as soon as the baby can stabilize his/her neck you good. Newborns(depending on the size) probably won't work as well. Plus my son used it past the 25lb limit and did just fine:)

I put my 1 year old in it. He loves it. It's a smooth ride. I think a 7-9 month old would be fine.

I wouldn't put a baby in the seat of the stroller until they can hold their head up. Unless you're going to have them laying down, in which case you would need to significantly pack a blanket around the sides of the baby. There is virtually no side support in these seats.

I wouldn't recommend this stroller for a baby that can't sit up on its own. It's a very very light stroller, in terms of support. It doesn't have big incline/recline options and the baby's head may tip forward. But it's up to your own discretion, depending on the baby's development.

Hello, and thank you for your question! This stroller is appropriate for children from newborn up to 50 lbs. Thank you!

We started at 3 months. We he to put rolled up blankets around him to make if fit better though. It is all dependent on your child's strength. Ours could hold his head up and was already supporting his own weight standing just holding our hands for balance. Each child is different.

I read the manual and didn't see anything regarding minimum age or weight. If your child can keep their head up without being propped up they should be fine. Here is the manual for the stroller - http://s7d5.scene7.com/is-viewers-3.9/flash/genericbrochure.swf?serverUrl=http://s7d5.scene7.com/is/image/&contentRoot;=http://s7d5.scene7.com/skins/&instanceName;=ZoomMX104449ℑ=media/Ignite_stroller_SH_IST&config;=media/eCatalog_instructions_lg?width=685&height;=510

I'm currently using this with my newborn. And depending on the size of your baby and how they grow, I would assume you'd be able to use this until about 6-9 months.

I browsed their book, didn't find minimum only maximum(40 inches/50lbs). We switched to the toddler seat as soon as our boy could seat well without support( 7 month old) he was 26 inches tall then, he's almost 9 now and it looks like he can grow and grow and the stroller won't ever get small. I don't find the toddler seat very comfy btw, and I doubt my baby enjoys it (((( We chose this one only coz it comes with a bassinet.

I don't think there is a minimum weight, but you should wait until the baby can sit up on his own (when he won't need as much head/neck support) before putting him into an upright stroller.

The baby needs to have full neck strength to use this stroller. It can not be used with a car seat. I'd guess your child should be about 6-7 months to use this. It has a great 5 point harness which I highly recommend. We've been very happy with this stroller. Great value and has all the features I was looking for.

Honestly you can but I would not recommend it unless you are using an infant carrier mounted on the adapter. Newborn needs more support. I would wait till at least 4 to 6 months before going directly into the stroller. Better have more support for head and neck, better safe then sorry. The city mini maneuvers great but use the infant carrier and adapter first. So no not yet.

My son started using this at 4 and a half months. He was semi-sitting up on his own and would lean to one side sometimes. We bought the Benbat head and neck support pillow for him and it kept him centered (and comfortable) on the stroller. The Benbat pillow is cute and inexpensive so we bought 3 more for our other stroller and for the grandparents' house.

I would say yes it's too early. Baby has to be able to sit up and hold neck and head up well. I think it's good to have at around 6mos.
