can eight month old baby sleep in it?

Most likely, no. If your baby is starting to sit up & pull up on things, I would be afraid that he or she would fall out of it. The cradle was ideal for my baby when he was first born until he started getting more mobile. Hope this helps.

I think it would be too small. An eight month old would probably be able to sit up over the top of the bars, and might be able to tip it over (it's kind of top heavy). My daughter only used it until month 4.

My little girl was only able to stay in the cradle till 5 months after that she had to go to a crib since she kept hitting her head on the bars in her sleep from tossing and turning. Many babies like the extra space to move around in their sleep and for a eight month old it may be a little too cramped even though the length would not be that bad. You would be better off getting him into a crib then a cradle.

We have a delta mini crib, and the mattress seems too "fluffy" to put the baby in. Maybe when she's able to lift her head or even sit up. Right now our baby sleeps in a rock n play, and she seems to like that. You can use rock n plays until their 6 months or 25lbs I believe. Or when they can sit up.

I'm not sure of weight limit but depending on the size of your baby, I wouldn't think you would use it after 6-8 months. I agree with Michael, my child wouldn't stay in it. I think he has spent a total of 20 mins in it since I bought it.

Definitely. my son is a month now and he sleeps in it almost everyday. It's great for colicky babies.

I assume you are talking rear facing. It isn't as reclined as an infant carrier, but my 8 month old is able to nap on there for quite a while. He's taken a 2.5 hour nap before. As far as forward facing goes, it's pretty much the same as any other carseat - it looks painful to sleep in.

My daughter is almost 6 months and still sleeps in ours. I will probably keep her in it as long as she is comfortable. I know Leachco does not approve this as a sleeping device, but it has been the best thing for us. It seems like you can use it well into toddler stages. It has an adjustable Velcro strap that allows you to adjust snugness on it to allow it to grow as your baby grows. Good luck!

yes, baby can fall asleep anywhere. the purple part on top is very flexible so it bends w/ the body. make sure that when you put it on, that you fold over the top of the diaper.

Does not recline beyond about 130 degrees so probably not suitable for small babies. Great from about 8 months to 5 years and sturdy, robust construction.

Yes. My baby is 16 mon. old and still using the deepest reclined position (rear facing) so that she is comfortable if she falls asleep.The recline feature is one of the main reasons I chose this seat.

I put my baby in it a week or two before she turned three months. It was a little big but worked. Before that I would swaddle her with a halo sleep sack.

absolutely...my great-grandson is 3 months old and does fine with it and i know of a 6 month old that sleeps on it all the time in place of a crib.

Our 8 month old daughter didn't seem to have a problem! She slept for an hour and a half when we took her on a hike in the carrier. She wasn't wiggling around like she was uncomfortable! :)

Yes. I put my 1 month old in it and she loved it. She's 8 months now and still loves it but I can tell she's on the road to getting a bit to big for it.

My baby is 2 months old. She has slept in this every night so far. Right now I'm using it on stage 1 bassinet. But as she grows I will switch to stage 2, then take the bassinet out and use it as a crib that way until I feel like I can move her out of my bedroom. I would think you could use this up until 18 months old as an every night crib. But it is small, so after that I think you would want a bigger size for older infants to have more sleeping room.

Yes. Infant up to 5 months. My daughter is a light sleeper so when she turn in her sleep, it moves and wakes her up so we quit using it when she is older. The lock feature works but if you a have strong active baby, it still move.

I doubt it. At 3 months, or any months, the suit is pretty "marshmallow puffy" so it restricts movement. It's a transition from swaddling, and keep babies warm.
