Do I need to worry about my baby strangling? Will it break if it starts to get to tight on her neck?

This necklace was a waste of money for us coz it didn't work on her. So now I put it on her as an acessory. It doesn't get tangle and it's a perfect size where it isn't too long or to short to get tightened. My baby girl is pretty chubby.

Usually at night I'll put it around her ankle with a sock. Although I've never seen it tangle any sort of way at all. My older son wore his from about 9 months until he was 2 1/2 without ever taking it off. The younger they start wearing it the less likely (I think) they will want to mess with it, as it won't seem new anymore.

You should be cautious with any kind of jewelry worn on any child under 5. I haven't had any problems yet with my son. He wears his all day long, he's even taken naps with it on. I've heard that you can also wrap these around the ankle for the same effect(and no worrying about suffocation)! I hope this helps!

I didn't. I used when my baby was 7 months at 20 lbs. It's really straight and upright not sure if newborn neck would be properly supported.

Please don't, it comes lose on fall on head, regardless of how much you tighten it. Spend a little bit more money and get something secure that will not crack open your childs skull.

It can be a bit tight, but its not too bad. The bench slides back and forth for comfort. I had an infant and a large 3 year old with no problems.

I would be concerned about the remote possibility of choking. It should fit snugly so it doesn't slip out. I did not mold mine correctly the first time and it never did fit tightly. As an over cautious parent, I would not purchase this for a 12 year old.

I assume the potential choking hazard is for the bow, in case it comes off. Possibly for the ID bracelet? Our 3 year old loves this doll, and it's regularly around our 7 month old baby. I've never had concerns about our baby choking on any part of the doll/outfit.

My son just turned 3, is the 30th percentile so you have a reference. The strap is in the closest position and I should move it forward as it seems too far back to the point where it is in line with him. With that said, it does not pull tight up on him or seem to squish anything, but the shoulder straps are adjusted perfectly. So it's not like there is slack in the shoulder straps to make it looser on the center one. I just honestly haven't moved it forward yet as we just got this car seat. I hope this helps

This can be used both ways. Once your baby has control over his neck you can face him out.

We have only had it about a week and we have only had our 2 year old in it for a little while. The chest straps are pretty loose on her but I think you could tighten them up a bit. I wouldn't put a young baby in there as there isn't too much structure to the whole seat. It is comfortable for my 2 year old but we haven't used it enough to tell. Sorry!

No...i found this product useless...it only elevated head at best which worried me more than anything because babies airway should remain neutral and she kept sliding down anyways or turning sideways. I found this product useless and dangerous. Mine still sleeps in rock n play and she's 5 months old. I. Love it because she stays in place and doesn't slide down. Good luck! Hang in there

I didn't use it all the time. When the baby was very small I didn't feel like he could flip himself out or anything and sometimes I didn't want to risk disturbing his sleep. I tried to put a blanket underneath him to avoid the buckles. But I'd say it's better to use it just to be sure.

No, the sensors respond to vibration. That's why it has to be snug at the throat. If ifs too loose, even the dog you have it on won't set it off.

Honestly, we have this item attached to our crib that has been converted to a toddler day bed, but it's definitely a safety hazard if your are the overly cautious sort. It isn't installed properly (we had to use zip ties!) and It's almost but not quite as long as the crib itself- which means there's the slightest possibility their head/neck could get stuck. We have it on our 2.5 y/o's convertible crib but it's definitely not a great fit.

I wouldn't advise doing so. You wouldn't be able to get the head support and secure strap tightening that you'd need for your newborn to be safe.

Not at all. I have an 8 month old. I agree that you need to keep the buckle clasped for ease of loosening it, but other than that it is easy. It's also easy to adjust the harness strap height as they grow--you don't have to rethread it ever, just slide the whole part up. We love this car seat.

I think it will be fine, the only thing that will keep baby from falling off is you. Seriously don't walk away for a second, even babies who aren't crawling or rolling can scoot off in a second. Have everything you need right there and if you have to walk away take baby with you. Even if you screw the pad to the dresser that just gives you a false sense of security, you can't leave a baby unattended.

There is a deep grove inside the head of the pin. I believe it would stay locked unless the metal part bent. I feel this is a real concern. In my opinion, an active baby's movements would cause the metal to bend and allow the pin to escape the protective pin. Also the plastic seems cheaply made. I don't think I would use these pins on my baby. Of course this is only my opinion.
