Does it accommodate infants? Do you need the Britax infant head and bobby support pillow?

We suggest that you use the infant car seat for the first six months when stroller your child. As they gain control of their head and neck, you may transition them to the stroller. The head and body pillow is sold separately.

The car seat needed a bit of added head support for our infant in the first two months (he was 6lbs7oz and 18.5inches at birth). He's now 28.5 inches and 18 lbs (10 months old) and can ride in the stroller without the car seat but needs additional support or a blanket tucked around him to keep him secure if we roll on rough terrain (we frequently walk with the stroller in the woods) since the straps don't quite tighten down enough over his shoulders. We love the stroller- it's functional and easy to use and the sunshades are some of the biggest out there.

We did not use an additional support pillow and our infant fit perfectly. We used swaddling blankets for support at the very beginning. Our little man was 9 lbs at birth for reference.

No, not really. I bought a pillow but then my son seemed to be uncomfortable, he was squeezed. Don't buy pillow.

It accommodated my newborn just fine. The head can be floppy though, so I would consider a head support pillow. I didn't have one, so I can't speak for how well they hold the head off the chest, which is what happened with my baby all the time. Side support in the Bob was fine.

Yes. Babies should be able to hold their head up. There is not enough support for a wobbly head.

Yes it does. I bought this for my two year old who is on the small side, and it was too much for her. I don't know if she was too light to really sink down into pillow, but it kept her head at an uncomfortable position

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!

I am not the seller but I think this maybe a bit too high for such a small baby. My 17 mo old just now started to use it. You probably can write to the company and ask for specifications but I think this pillow is for 2 y.o. The pillow is amazing and works nicely. It does not come with pillow case.

No. You need to provide a support pillow for that My daughter has the tiny love seat which provides much more support

No!!! I didn't start putting my son in it until he was about 4 and a half months old and could hold his head up well on his own!

Yes. I bought this for my son when he was 6 weeks old. He was around 10lbs and 22 inches at the time. It provides support for his neck and head. He wasn't very interested in the toys at first, but they are starting to get his attention now. I recommend it if your child prefers sitting up like mine. However, my son holds his head up pretty well.

It's good support for my 18month old and three year old. If it was a smaller baby I'd say no it isn't the best support. My children have no problem falling asleep in their car seats. Their head doesn't seem to wobble back and forth.

I don't think it is recommended for babies quite that young. We got it for our 2 year old shortly after her birthday. When we lay her down she puts her head on it but at some point before she falls asleep her head is no longer on it. We have a 9 month old as well and the pillow is bigger than she is (she's petite). There is not a pillow case included. It is a wonderful pillow when the time comes to purchase one for your little angel.

I have a britax car seat and it worked great. The head rest comes off via velcro if you need to adjust it or anything. I didnt have a premie but used it early on. I loved it.

Yes, as long as you have a towel or something rolled up amd placed around the infants head to support their neck and head, just as you would for a car seat. This is a must have for any new parent.

Babies don't use pillows. Wait until over 1 year or, possibly 2 years old. Babies and toddlers heads are so large compared to the size of their shoulders and body that they don't require a pillow. My son is 3 and he rarely stays on the pillow for the entire night.

The "infant body pillow" comes with it. This is just the lower piece that goes around the back and sides. On the Opus Gray you can see it is the black cushion. They also sell an "infant positioning insert" separately. There's details on the britax website. http://www.britaxusa.com/accessories/infant-positioning-insert

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!

It is meant for a child who can support their own head. You may want to consider something like the Fisher-Price Newborn-to-Toddler Portable Rocker if you are looking for a chair that will support the head. The chair can be stationary or turned into a rocker. I have used it for a newborn through six months and plan on using it through the toddler years.

My son uses a support pillow for his son. If you do not use one, the babies head can flop from side to side.
