Can you use this stroller from birth or does the baby have to be a certain weight/length?

Although (idealy) I wouldn't use this as my main stroller, it can be used for an infant in the full down position. There are several positions you can choose with the "pull cord" type of modes it offers. I personally prefer a stroller facing toward me so I can observe her better on long walks. This is great for quick travel because of its easy open/close and it"s very light for a full size jogger. Just be sure to use cushions on either side of babyfor support. Good luck and hope this helps!

As I'm aware, you can use the stroller from birth by adjusting the back all the way down however, it feels a little too uncomfortable and under-padded for my liking. I purchased the Valco baby cocoon bassinet which fits into the Jogger and also clips to the sides as well as the Kiddopotamus snuzzler body support when we don't use the bassinet. Please Google both items and hopefully it works for you.

They say you can use it with a newborn but I'm not sure the straps would get tight enough. My son was about 13 lbs when we purchased ours and I tightened the straps as much as possible and they were still a little loose. I would buy a snuzzler or use receiving blankets rolled up to place next to him/her. You can also purchase a car seat adapter through Baby Jogger for the City Mini. I've heard it's compatible with other infant seats - Graco, etc. You may also want to check out the City Select model. It's much more expensive but has an optional bassinet attachment which would be perfect for a newborn! They say you can use it with a newborn but I'm not sure the straps would get tight enough.

i believe you can with the additional purchase of a car seat adapter... something like $70 or so...

You could but make sure you buy those extra pad or neck supports to keep the baby from moving. Make sure to keep it reclined. My recommendation would be to get the infant carrier adapter use the infant carrier on the stroller. The stroller is awesome as far as maneuvering. Great stroller.

you can use from birth if you buy the attachment bars to hold your infant carseat. Make sure your infant car seat is compatible.

I think from birth is fine. Our little guy is now 13 pounds, 22 inches, and fits really well. When he was born he was early at 5 pounds and change; he didn't fit well at that time, but sometime in between everything worked out, probably all depends on length. Even when he was was tiny we put him in once for a short walk and just reclined the back so that there wasn't as much effect of gravity. The next time we tried it after that he was around 8-9 pounds and was fine. Hope that helps some.

We used it from birth with the chicco car seat and chicco adapter. The adapter allows the car seat to click right in. This stroller fits a few other car seat brands with the appropriate adapter. We stop using the adapter and just put our daughter in the stroller at around 4 months old. Not sure if there are specific height/weight requirements per the manufacturer.

The standard seat is too small for a new born. You'd have to attach a proper car seat to it. I'm not sure which are compatible if any.

If I had a 5 lb baby, he would be in a wrap or a sling, not a stroller:)! More work to push the stroller than to just carry the kid!

You will need a Carseat adaptor. I will say I love the stroller! About to have our second child and it will be perfect for a newborn and one year old!

Britax says you can use it for newborns as small as 5 pounds (rear facing). We chose to use a removable cradle-type car seat when our children were infants, and bought the Britax 70-G3 when our children reached 1 year old and only used it forward-facing.

I would not use it w an infant below 3-4 months depending on the baby. Bought it when my son was 8 months old and it's a great quick or travel stroller.

It has a weight restriction of no more than 35kg. I was running with my toddler when he was 3, it just gets a little harder. He is 4.5 now and I would still run with him in the stroller if I needed to, as he is only 15kg now!

Yes. it can. I started using this stroller when my baby was 3months old. I didn't find that he felt uncompatable on it at that time.

You can use just the stroller anytime. The straps are similar to cars eat straps. Just not as wide.

I'm not sure, I'd have to look up my stroller instructions, but my baby is 4 months old and weighs about 16-17lbs (I think or more) and he still uses the bassinet. His feet aren't too close to the edge. Even if I lift the bassinet to stroller position now his feet dont get cramned too much at the end. I like this because if it is windy or raining it doesn't get him all wet. The hood of the stroller would be nicer if it was a little bigger or had a middle position. There isn't any shocksystem, but it's a stroller and I'm not jogging or going over bumpy terrain with it. I love the stroller. But I can't see some people not.

It can be used for babies as small as five pounds. However, I would NOT suggest buying this item. I have two of these seats and my brother has two of these seats. They had a part recalled almost a year ago now and neither of us have received the replacement piece yet! I have called numerous times and spoke to many people and they cannot tell me anything other than they are very behind in getting these parts made. I have never had a problem with Graco before, but if one of their baby seats are recalled and they cannot get you the part you need in a timely fashion, I would it purchase from them. I know I will NOT be buying from them in the future. It can be used for babies as small as five pounds. However, I would NOT suggest buying this item.

Once baby can sit up well you can think about making the switch. Babies vary so much in size and it is really more of a developmental issue. You could of course "prop" your baby, but if things start shifting, while you are jogging, you won't have a happy baby anymore. As a car-seat, the limitations are: 32" or 35 pounds, which ever comes first. But this is for crash safety, which shouldn't be a problem for stroller use, as long as your baby is comfortable. Hope this helps you sort it out. ENJOY your baby!

I browsed their book, didn't find minimum only maximum(40 inches/50lbs). We switched to the toddler seat as soon as our boy could seat well without support( 7 month old) he was 26 inches tall then, he's almost 9 now and it looks like he can grow and grow and the stroller won't ever get small. I don't find the toddler seat very comfy btw, and I doubt my baby enjoys it (((( We chose this one only coz it comes with a bassinet.

Im sorry. Not sure. I had a complete different system with stroller untill she was 9 months.

I don't think you can. My daughter and son are 18 months apart and until he could sit in the stroller I just wore him and used the stroller as a single. I still do this a lot even though she's 2 and he's 6m. Your next best bet would be to get the car seat adapter and put the baby in that while the older child sits in front.

It will accomodate an infant. I use it since my baby was a newborn and she is a 6 weeks old now. I would recommend a seat pad though to keep her body and head to move from side to side. This is a great stroller, really light and ease to move around.

3 months (or less for us.. our 2 1/2 month old loves it). We bought it at the store and the label said 3 months and up (to 50/55 lbs). It reclines so that younger babies are comfortable in it. I was so glad to find a stroller that fits a young babe and is compact enough to not take up a ton of space in our small apartment.
