I would get the carry cot for a newborn. Even with the insert cushion the standard seat is too big for a newborn and it doesn't lay flat. We however rarely actually used our carry cot. We bought a peg perego infant car seat and used the stokke adapters with it. He road in the infant carrier in the car, in the stroller and when we carried him around. That's a good option if you don't yet have a car seat. When our son graduated to a convertible car seat we started using the standard seat in the stokke. You can always sell the carry cot when you're done. They hold their value. I also highly recommend getting the winter kit and the parasol depending on climate. The hand warmers are great and the cover in the winter kit is good for cold days. The parasol keeps them from baking in the sun. We see other kids roasting and freezing in their strollers while our son is perfectly comfortable. Expect to get a lot of attention with this stroller and a lot of questions.

You don't. This is a bassinet. It is only useful until the baby can sit up or pull themselves up. It isn't like a pack and play where the height can be reduced and honestly it's too narrow for that anyway.

No, a newborn will be too small. I believe the weight for this starts at 15lbs. I purchased it for my 2 month old and he was too small for the carrier.

A bassinet mattress is quite smaller than a regular crib mattress. So, you would have much more of the mattress cover to fold over once you get it. I had to fold mine over and taped it down to the crib mattress with packing tape but I felt it was worth it for my child's protection.

Hi. Sorry we are not using a bassinet so I am not so sure. In general this is a very nice stroller. This is our fourth kid and we had several stroller. This one is easy to walk with easy to fold. Light weight.

Thank you, curlygirl. As for leaving a toddler alone with a newborn, obviously not -- just taking every precaution necessary to prevent any mishaps ;) I appreciate your feedback on this sleeper as we decide what things to get for our baby on the way :)

I just bought this and installed it yesterday for my 1 year old. It came with an "infant insert" that is basically an extra support pillow that goes under the baby's butt. It's that black pad on the seat in the picture. The manual says it is to be used for infants from 5 to 22 pounds. There was no other insert to support a newborn's head, though. If I were using this with a newborn I would look into adding one, though I worry about suffocation risk with some of those after-market inserts.

Yes! I've used it as my babies bassinet since she came home from the hospital. She will be 3 months next week. I plan on using it till she gets too big. She was a small baby so I'm not sure how well it would work if you had a large baby. I love it! Clean and simple. And chemical free!

It isn't a co-sleeper. It is a standard packnplay playpen but the floor raises up to be a bassinet or elevated portable crib. The floor is padded. Then on top of this sits a cozy bassinet sleeper with lots of good comfy padding and fleecelike material on it. The changing table on the other side is great. We use ours in our living room. It comes in quite handy. It even has shelving when the floor is raised up. Perfect to store all types of necessities. I highly recommend this pack n play. It can be used for a long time. It even has music and vibration for soothing your baby.

Hi Ariana, I did not buy a mattress. Instead I purchased crib batting from JoAnn along with some of their cuddly soft fabric (super soft and kinda fleecy) and wrapped the batting with it. I just laid it in there and cut/folded it under as needed. My little one loved it! We also purchased some cheap Velcro so that we could hold it closed on trips. For the price, this is a great bassinet! Enjoy your little one and congrats! :)

Yes, definitely! That's why I bought it. It has a harness, so you can strap the newborn down so they don't slide around.

Yes the bassinet has to be removed. I don't think the toddler seat offers enough support for a newborn so either use the car seat, the bassinet or their is a newborn insert you can buy for the toddler seat. It's a great stroller!

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:)

I think they mean the newborn insert you can buy separately. It will accommodate babies as small as 4 lbs I believe.

Hello Melissa, This is one of my best buys and highly recommend it for a changing table or an attachable bassinet to the new parents bed. I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed with this purchase...I hope this helps. Congratulations!!!Kindest Regards,Bella Imbriale

I borrowed a bassinet for the first 2 and half months for my first DD. We started using this when she was almost 3 months old and we have had no problems with it. The seat reclines but if you want to be sure, I think there is also an bassinet you can purchase that can be strapped to sit on top.

I wouldn't use this for a newborn. You can lay the back down all the way and buckle the baby in but it is better if they can hold their head up.
