Can I position the baby face front? I want him to look forward, not into my chest!

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

yes. you might look on the bjorn website for when they think a baby is ready (maybe after they can hold their head up?), but absolutely. we just got this for our 6 week old and love it.

Hello, yes you can position your baby facing out or facing you. If my little boy is tired I face him in and he falls asleep. If he is awake and wants to look around I face him forward.

Baby can be rear-facing if placed in a compatible car seat. We used the Chicco Nextfit carseat and it clicks to lock into place inside this stroller, facing the adult who is pushing the stroller. You just have to expose two little holes by moving some of the padding in the stroller and you're all set to place the carseat in it. I love that no additional equipment was needed. Now that he sits up well, we don't use the carseat anymore and he just sits in the stroller like normal.

I have the Britax B-Ready stroller. I can turn the adapter in any direction that I want my baby to face. On the adapter it is labeled which side is the front. It is for the front of your carseat not the front of the stroller itself. If you want baby facing you then have the 'front' of the adapter facing you. If you want the baby facing away from you then have the 'front' facing away.

No. To do that you will need a rear facing only infant carseat. This is a convertible seat that can be used both rear facing and forward facing but does not have a base for the carseat to be easily removed and taken into house or snap into a stroller.

This carrier has a head support for an infant baby and it should always be held with the face on your chest . We used it for my baby girl when she was 1 month and it is adjustable, to fit her later to now she is 8 months I put her the other way around and she loves looking around :)

Hi JLMoore! As Nathaniel, Eric, and Jenny have confirmed, Indie is forward facing unless used with an infant seat or Carrycot. Thank you for your question!

They do have an infant insert that you can buy to go with it. I carried my son in it with the insert right from the get-go. The baby only faces inwards to your chest, not out. At that age they don't need to be bombarded by all the stimuli coming at them by facing out. Snuggling in to your chest is the safest and most comforting spot for them to be. It will also ensure they are in a better position for hip development and takes the pressure off their crotch.

I plan on putting my baby on the other side when he is able to sit up on his own. If you do it beforehand, they'll just slide down and obviously thats not safe.

The seat only faces forward. The only way to have your child face backwards would be in their carrier attached to the stroller. If you want to be able to change the seat direction look at the Baby Jogger City Select or Baby Jogger City Versa.

I just called Diono to ask about this. The rep told me that the baby has to have full head control and to be able to sit unassisted before using this.

No forward facing is not good for the baby! You can front carry, side carry and back carry. The side carry is great because the babe can still see everything and its just like holding her except you have both arms free.

No, a child should rearface until 2 but closer to 4 is the best. You are better off buying on convertible car seat that rear facing and then forward faces later.

It is safe for baby if used correctly in the rear facing position with the infant insert and adjusted to the right shoulder height. Also be sure to stop by a safety expert's facility to make sure it's installed correctly. I used mine from the time he came out of the hospital.

As far as I know - you "could" do the outward facing - like in the bjorn's but I have never done it myself nor does the site hold a position on it. I have been told it's not the best position for baby's hip

It does not. It does hip, back, and facing the chest. I will tell you that I got a ton of guff for facing my son forward. Everyone told me it wasn't good for his hips, it would over stimulate him, etc. and so on. This irritated me because he loved facing out. I worried he would hate this carrier. Well he loves this thing to bits and it has been a lifesaver! I'll tell you exactly why, for one he falls asleep in this thing almost every time which is awesome, it's crazy easy to nurse in it and no one even knows you're doing it, and the biggest reason is how incredibly comfortable this is. I've hiked several miles and honestly it doesn't even feel like I'm carrying him. The Beco Gemini carrier does allow you to face your baby forward but it doesn't have the hood or the handy pocket. Those I know that have the Beco hardly ever use it for forward facing but at least there's the option. All that being said I am completely in love with the Ergo baby. Just make sure you get it from a certified supplier. I got a fake the first time. Read my review on here for the names of the certified suppliers. Good luck!

Yes. Mine is installed rear-facing and will be turned around when the baby gets older. Fits perfectly in rear-facing position.
