If ordering the "4Moms 2012 MamaRoo Multicolor Plush Swing," is this insert still needed for an infant less than 3 months old?

Yes, if you don't have the insert there is a lot of room & they wiggle. I definitely recommend it to keep them secured. Plus, it's super soft!

It depends on the size and weight of the baby. Our baby needed it until she was at least 10lbs - but she was a premie born at 5 lbs. Hope this helps!

I think an insert is needed for an infant less than 3 months old. It makes the swing more comfy and more support. I bought this for my 5 month old and the headrest was too small but for a newborn this would work great.

It probably depends on the size of your kid. Mine used it till 4 months because she is petite.

It depends on how big or small your baby is. Mine is talk so I used it only for a few weeks. I stopped using it when she was 2 and 1/2 months old. It is soft a a little cushy which I really liked for the baby. The mamaroo's fabric is a bit cold and rough...

I would say yes. I had two bigger babies and still used it until close to three months, just so they would not slip and slide down the swing. They slept better with the insert!

my baby boy is 7 months old and we just had to put the fisher price nature's touch swing in the basement and retire it... he's sitting up now and would try to reach up and touch the rotating animals and leaves at the top of the mobile area - he would also use his stomach muscles to tryto pull himself upwards and out of the swing. so i think once your baby is big enough to sit up, then you've outgrown the usefulness of a swing. my son was 17 pounds when we retired his swing and i was getting nervous with him in it (even though he was always strapped in) that something could go wrong...

Yes, this seat may be used in the rear-facing position for a newborn baby that is over 5 lbs. Infant Positioning Insert may be necessary for small infants to achieve a snug fit of the harness around your child (sold separately). However, you may find an "infant carseat" more satisfactory and/or convenient for the first six months of your baby's life, as they are portable. We moved up to the Britax Advocate 70-G3 when our baby out-grew her "infant seat". Furthermore, if expense is key and you can not aford to buy two carseats, infant seat and convertable seat, then get the convertable seat as it will last you the longest and it is the best value for your money.

My daughter is almost one and still sleeps in it, but we took out the bassinet insert as soon as she started sitting up, so it's more like a small pack 'n play. It's starting to get small for her now length-wise, so we'll be assembling her crib soon.

The whole infant insert goes right into the wash. As for the mamaroo, the fabric zips off and can go in the wash with it.

Here is the answer from a Boppy rep: Yes, you would take out the infant insert that comes with the carseat as you do not need both.

I didn't buy the insert, but the purpose is to give added cushion/comfort, especially for small babies. Like what people sometimes put in car seats or strollers to buffer the head and body. I should have bought the insert, because I think the seat texture (by itself without the insert) is strange for a baby product. It is the texture of a canvas backpack.

It does not have an infant insert, but because it is a Mei Tai you can roll the waist to shorten the body and it has a strap to cinch in the waist so that you don't need an insert. This video shows what I am talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-DlyAxI_uA

Probably not suited for a 3 month old because of the bumpers around the side. You're better off with a pack-n-play for your little one.

I just bought this and installed it yesterday for my 1 year old. It came with an "infant insert" that is basically an extra support pillow that goes under the baby's butt. It's that black pad on the seat in the picture. The manual says it is to be used for infants from 5 to 22 pounds. There was no other insert to support a newborn's head, though. If I were using this with a newborn I would look into adding one, though I worry about suffocation risk with some of those after-market inserts.

I find crib mattresses are too thick and firm than this ManmaDoo Kids matress. I really like MamaDoo Kids because its firmness is good enough for the baby and fits well in the playpen. I'm not sure if you know that babies should not put in mattresses thicker than 3 inches but this one is 1.5 inches if I remember correctly). Many people may use cribs but we thought it's better to put the baby in the playpen in the first 2 years before we move our baby to the crib. That's the reason why we bought MamaDoo Kids matress and we can use it for our baby's tummy time( day time) and it's easy to fold when we travel. If you use the playpen, maybe you should give this a try. You won't be disappointed. Our baby loves it!

I sell fuzzibunz at www.babybonuses.com and I can say that they do include a large and a small insert when you purchase. They also come with replacement elastic bands. Please let me know if you have any other questions!!

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.

Definitely! Fit well at initial (safest) set up. As babies (twins) have gotten older had to adjust seat down so infant insert doesn't fit as snugly/safely, but I also worry less now about them tumbling out after I remove tray. Depending on height of table may need to adjust seat up or down, but is very easy! LOVE our keekaroos!

The baby set is definitely not needed, and probably incompatible. We bought the baby set initially and returned it because it didn't fit our son even at 8 months. The play tray is much better and still fits him just fine nearly a year later.

Our baby came out of the NICU and they used it there. We bought it for when she came home at 4 lbs. She's now about 10 lbs and we still use the insert.

Yes. Check the weight limit to make sure your baby will fit. The seat goes down to 5 lbs, but you may want to get a dedicated infant seat for your little one. Our son came home at less than 5 and needed a preemie insert (I believe it is technically called a "low birth weight foam insert") with our Britax Chaperone. Good luck!
