Do you need to have the infant insert to use this with a 6 month old?

We did use the infant insert with our 6 month old. I'm not sure we would have had to, but it made the chair more comfortable and supported her better as she was just learning to sit up. We just removed the insert a few weeks ago when she turned 9 months.

I would recommend it since a 6 month old child is not sitting very secure yet.

No - as long as your infant can sit up by himself then you don't need a special insert. We started using this with our son when he was 6 months old.

Not if they already can sit up relatively well. But it is kind of a slouchy chair, even for older and bigger kids. We sometimes stuffed a folded up blanket down behind my son's back to help with that.

I think it depends on the weight/strength of the babe. I think if they can sit in a high chair at a restaurant well, then you won't need the insert. I did purchase the regular seat pads for both kids and feel it was more secure for my youngest..

My baby doesn't need that insert so I am not sure, but I am sure it would be fine.

There is no infant insert but it is small enough to work for a newborn. Your newborn will be laying flat in the swing (not sitting quite so upright) so it should be fine. I started using this when my daughter was about 6 weeks old.

You'll need the car seat attachment until your baby is approximately 6 months old. At that point you should be able to strap them in without the car seat.

I am not sure and I haven't seen any insert available online. This is definitely too large for the newborn

The Ergo Original is not designed to have the infant facing outwards - the infant should always be facing in towards your body (whether on your front or back). If you mean wearing the baby on your front (facing inwards), then yes: the insert does not need to be used for a baby that large.

I plan to use it for a newborn. If you look at the company's web site they say it's suitable, but that it's a good idea to buy an infant insert to give more support for the head and neck. There are lots of options for those for use in car seats, strollers, etc. I plan to add that and start using it right away.

no it doesn't, sorry I am responding only now, we had an insert for our baby - the plastic piece that you put in front of the chair and slide your babies feet in that is, hope this helps.

Sure! I would recommend buying an insert for a newborn (probably can buy one at any store, doesn't have to be specific to the city mini). That will keep the baby more secure. Good luck.

No, this model does not come with infant insert. It's great for travel and the price is fair.

Burley and Tule offer infant inserts to help with head and neck support. I am looking into bike trailers and asked my pediatrician about it at his 6 month appointment, he said just get the infant insert and make sure they are strapped in well and have a helmet on. He used one with his kids.

It does, but I really wouldn't recommend it for babies under 6 Months, or those who can't sit upright on their own. Infant carriers are so much nicer for infants & up to 6 months. I switched to this seat when my son got too heavy to carry in his infant seat.

We have used it almost everyday for 5 months and counting. We have replaced the batteries on the seat for vibration twice. You can remove the baby / newborn insert and my guess is we will use it for at least 2-3 more months (7-8 total) or until she tries to climb out of it.

Yes if you buy the infant seat attachment! I am using it now for my 3 month old and my 3 year old uses a seat!

Yes, I used it for my newborn with the insert. Now at 8 months were still using. I think she'll be out of it by a year. I am very happy with my purchase.

Absolutely. The seat comes with very comfy padded inserts for smaller infants that can be removed as they grow larger.

You use a car seat when they are infants and you'll have to buy the converter to attach the car seat to the stroller. You don't use the seat until they are older.
