How Young can the child be to run in? I have a Month old baby and wanted to know if I should use the carrier attachment or just thee stroller.

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 would use the carrier attachment at least until my child could sit up by themselves on the ground...about 6-8 months old.

I run my son to school and from school so there is only one child in it half the time and the stroller handles great, no issues. My son is 3 and baby is 3 months.

I personally didn't use mei tai carriers til my baby was older. There's ways to use it with a newborn. Check out thebabywearer.com

My tall 4 yr old fits comfortably in the stroller and he loves it- might be more of a weight issue for how much you want to push while running too:) I still think he has some room to grow in the stroller as well.

There are weight guide lines for this. My children have been very small but were in this shortly after we came home. The concern with any off the carrier are the head support and the child being positioned so they can breathe. I used mine with in the frost few weeks home. Tried to used another one I bought that has an insert for the infant but hated it. Still using this one at a yr. the best thing is that u can see the child and can put it on yourself then put in baby. Others I couldn't.

no- my older son was 22 months when our 2nd was born, we used this stroller for both of them for almost 2 yrs. My older son never had issues in the front seat with the infant carrier or when we switched our younger one to sit up in the 2nd seat.

Britax, the manufacturer of the Bob, recommends that an infant be placed in a carrier until s/he is at least 2 months old, not placed in the seat by itself, and that you just walk. From 2 months until 8 months, the child can be placed in the seat (with any support needed), and you just walk. You can begin jogging at 8 months, when the child has enough head and neck control, or as allowed by your pediatrician.

I have the City Jogger "Elite" and I got the infant car seat adapter bar. It never "clicked" for me on the adapter so I never felt too comfortable using it so I only used it once or twice with the strap that was on the adapter. With that said, I read and looked at YouTube videos and it seemed to work for them, but not for me. However, I loved the car seat especially with the snap and go stroller. I felt it was more convenient to use the strap and go stroller anyway.However, I come from a tall family and my little one is tall so in some ways I wish I would have gotten a car seat that went up to 35 inches because my girl grew out of it by 8 months. So many opinions and things to think about but it will all come together! Good luck!

I don't have the stroller here right now (got taken and left at Grandma's!) but my daughter was 36 inches at 2 years old and it was great for her, and she still uses it at 3.5 years and counting. My 15 month old uses it too, even though it's too tall for him still, but he makes it work and loves it. Even if it's a little on the tall side, it'll be in use for years I suspect.

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!

We bought this stroller because it is suitable for newborns from day 1. The stroller bed reclines to 180 degrees so your baby can lay flat. You should not jog with your baby until he or she has adequate neck support; roughly 6 months old.

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.

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.

Sorry to be first getting back to you now. I recently had a baby (hence the double stroller) and am first really emerging from the fog.My 2 and half year old is about 34-35 lbs and he loves the stroller. I know what other people have said about it being too small but my son loves it. He thinks it looks like a spaceship "pod" and likes for us to "blast-off!" together.My only complaint with the stoller so far is that it hard to hear my older son who sits in the front as we are strolling. He feels "far away". It is also difficult to get in and out of elevators and certain doors. We live in the city so this might be a problem specific to urbanites like myself.Hope this is helpful, if not too late! Sorry to be first getting back to you now.

I am still happy with most aspects of this stroller, however I don't think it was designed for a newborn nor would it be safe. Even If using a baby carrier. No way to secure it.

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!

My youngest was 12 months. He was over 20 lbs and had been walking (more like running!) for a while. He did great but within a few weeks was able to get out on his own WHILE I was biking (he is a Houdini). Scary! I would say that, as long as your baby sits up very well on their own and isn't a squirmer, they should be fine.
