Has anyone used this for a newborn? What did you think?

It has an extra padded insert for smaller babies, but we had a Graco infant carrier first because it's base stays in the car and you can carry the baby in the car seat where ever you go. From the car into the house or restaurant without waking them up. The Recaro is a big heavy car seat which is great for say 9 months and older and stays in the car.

I got one for my daughter's new baby and has worked out great. You need to call the company and they will send you and insert for the seat that will make if a lot better for the new born and there was no charge. I choose this one because of it's strong safety rating. I is a little larger that some but solid as a rock.

I wouldn't recommend using the bath tub on its own with a newborn, however when my son was born I used this bathtub with Summer Infant Bath Sponge inserted. It held him securely and i was able to bath him without worrying that he would slip. My son also loved it as i think the sponge kept his back warm while i wiped him down.

No, I would not use that for a newborn. There are frames that fit the car carriers. Far more suitable for a newborn.

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 can be used with a newborn if you purchase the infant sling. We started using it with our 4 week old, he's now 6 months and it worked GrEaT!

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.

No, I would not use this for a newborn. A baby should be able to sit up on their own before you use this product for sure. We didn't start using it until our baby was about 5.5 months old.

I used with a 7 month old and had no issues, it was great. Obviously you have to stay with the baby the entire time but I felt it made it easier.

It is great for newborns thru approximately 6 mos or so. After that, they tend to want to sit up and it's not really designed for that.

im thinking they could work for newborns but they would be bulky.. best ones i found that are small and still a great product are the sweet peas.... but hands down this is a great effective product!!!!

Yes! We bought this when we had a newborn and an 8 month old. We could bathe the 8 mo then flip it over for the baby! I have really enjoyed it! Very soft and safe!

Yes! I used it for my newborn until he outgrew the mini sleeper. I had much better peace of mind using this organic mattress rather than the one the co sleeper comes with!

I use it for every visit to the doc with my little one. She is a year old and I've used it since 4 months. It really helps!

I would use this for a newborn because it has that opening in the head area so the baby doesn't start developing flat head syndrome. It's also cushy and makes the car seat or carriage a little bit more comfortable for the newborn.

I use it with my newborn but we have the carseat adapter so we just pop the carseat on and use it that way.

Yes !!! I am using it for my newborn. Perfect natural support. Worth every penny!! I wish I had this for my earlier babies.
