When do you usually remove infant body pillow?

I bought this when my girl was 14 months old and I did not use the infant pillow.

We removed ours when my grandson turned 14 months old. Probably left it in there longer than necessary but just kept it for comfort.

I wouldn't advise leaving any baby unattended in a pillow or beanbag unless he is able to right himself; meaning, if he falls asleep or rolls over on his stomach and can't get out of that position, you run the risk of suffocation.

The pillows do come out. My little one liked to nap on them though, so that's always another option.

The head support in this model is NOT removeable. It is part of the seat. I actually think it would nice really nice for an older infant to help support their head from flopping over when they sleep. The head support is plenty big enough for a larger infant, unlike the pillowlike supports of other models that are really only designed for small infants (and must be removed from the seat when they are older/bigger).

Hello... I bought this pillow for my son when he was 4 months old to round out his head a bit and to avoid one of those terrible helmets. It worked!!! He sleeps with is every night and is now a bit over 1 year old. I too was a bit nervous but he LOVED it. A great pillow for the $. If you are nervous and I was too....use it the first couple of times at nap time and check up periodically. then if all goes well and it will use it at night time. Hope this helps you :-) If just for looks and cute, You should wait for 6 months. My baby had a flat head so it was really necessary... either way your baby will love it!! Hello...

As a grandmother, I would say that you child is a little bit too young for this pillow. It is pretty fluffy, and I would be afraid that the baby might suffocate if it gets into the wrong position. Pillowcase does not come with the pillow. I ordered a pillowcase off of amazon.com that fit this pillow perfectly. It is the perfect size for a toddler to take to daycare for naps.

It is reccomended you flip the mattress at 12 months or when the child is 20 pounds. Some parents like to flip the mattress to the toddler side at the age of 12 months while others wait until the child is between 18 and 24 months. All of these are acceptable since both sides are designed to be safely used for infants and toddlers. While infants should be placed on their back to sleep on the firmer side, a toddler will most likely find the softer side more cozy. -found this online...

Unfortunately the headrest is not detachable but it's not thick so you shouldn't have a problem with baby .. You can take the whole thing off to wash

Only had to do that once in 10 months...remove mattress pad underneath. While i change sheets every week to keep them clean since babys face is on it and drools on it too. Definitely do save time and eorth the money

I bought one and I personally think it was better for an infant. However you can use it without the insert.

It accommodated my newborn just fine. The head can be floppy though, so I would consider a head support pillow. I didn't have one, so I can't speak for how well they hold the head off the chest, which is what happened with my baby all the time. Side support in the Bob was fine.

I use a small pillow or a baby headrest. Im using the one that i bought for the baby carrier. Its a pillow thats shaped like a baby. With cushion around tge head and below of the armpit or side if the back.

I use a small, thin pillow or folded baby blanket. My baby is older now and he pretty much doesn't even lay back anymore.

I do not believe a baby that young needs a pillow and I wouldn't use it for a baby that doesn't rollover yet. However, if you want to have one to try it out, get this pillow because is very slim and soft and you can use for a long time (my baby is almost 2 and still sleeps with it.

The "infant body pillow" comes with it. This is just the lower piece that goes around the back and sides. On the Opus Gray you can see it is the black cushion. They also sell an "infant positioning insert" separately. There's details on the britax website. http://www.britaxusa.com/accessories/infant-positioning-insert

Yes, you just put it on the back of the diaper a little off to the side. I still use it on my 8 month old who sleeps mostly on his tummy.

I purchased this pillow when my daughter was born but didn't really use it for long periods of time until she was 4 months old because she didn't sleep on her own until then. She's 7.5 months and is still using it. Except for her being a wild sleeper and I find the pillow pushed on its side, I really like this pillow. I'll continue to use it until I feel she needs a big girl pillow. It's cute and you can throw it in the washer/dryer.
