Has anyone found a solution to baby slumping to one side when riding in stroller not using infant seat? Very disappointing! Baby is uncomfortable!

I use a small pillow or a baby headrest. Im using the one that i bought for the baby carrier. Its a pillow thats shaped like a baby. With cushion around tge head and below of the armpit or side if the back.

When my son was just starting to learn to sit up, he slumped to the side too. He did better when I set the seat up straighter and attached the tray. I also grabbed our insert from our mama roo and it fit perfectly! Plus looked cute. But I'm sure the Britax insert would work too.

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!

We haven't used the stroller seat yet. Is the baby over dressed? To many blankets? May be silly questions but it may be the obvious.

I don't think I've tried, but I lie mine on its side so that the wheels balance it completely. I absolutely love this stroller. Have a 2-year-old and 4-month-old. What a great investment. And it has fit through every single door I've tried. :)

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

I did . But what I did noticed is that every time my baby would fall asleep in the car seat his head would totally go forward . I would literally extend my arm while driving and hold his head upright until we got to our destination . I later on figured out that it was this thing that would caused my baby to sleep with his head forward. I wanted to return it but the expiration expired . Good luck

It is very tricky to adjust this seat. (before I start, make sure to check the manufacturers instructions, they are the tested way of doing this). My first recommendation is get it "close" to the correct tightness without your kid in the seat, then buckle your kid into the seat. When tightening, try pulling the tightening strap down then up - I have to pull quite hard. That may help. Otherwise return it like I did - it is not a good design in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure you can but we just didn't bother with it. I already had one of those Infant headrests and with the back all the way down, just put the baby in the stroller, sans car seat. Most of our friends did this too with their babies.

I wouldn't put a baby in the seat of the stroller until they can hold their head up. Unless you're going to have them laying down, in which case you would need to significantly pack a blanket around the sides of the baby. There is virtually no side support in these seats.

I was wondering the handle comfort between the two? I have a standard umbrella stroller and other then the stroller being too short..the handles hurt my hands. But that could be because it's not the easiest to push.

Hi, I haven't had that problem. As a matter of fact I am in love with this stroller & I wish I would have bought it sooner!!

Yes had that happen several times in car seat while I was driving so did not put on next time. Also when in stroller and bike seat, I used a sunglasses cord and tied a knot which rested on neck or higher. Infant still managed to get off so working on it. Figure it like all new things is a phase and will pass.

You are very welcome :) I use it on my second baby and still love it. I hope you find a stroller you are happy with! good luck!

I have not found this to be a problem. My son's head does not slump. He sort of tilts it to the side and the seat does have a head "pillow" of sorts. I liked the upright factor because it seemed more comfy than a "C" shape that would curl his back. I also like the Radian b/c he can see more out of the sides than the other seats that I investigated.

That is one of the exact reasons I got this stroller. My daughter was always struggling to sit up straighter. We also love that the seat reverses to parent facing as well.

If you want to keep the stroller, a bicycle shop would probably be able to fix it. But since this happened the first time you used it, I would return it as defective, and exchange for another stroller. I am curious, if the reason the wheel feels wobbly , are you trying to jog or run without the front pin locked in place ?

Couple of years ago the only option was to use the stroller from Safety 1st specifically designed for this seat. Would be good if it has changed since then.For us the seat itself (the safety it provides, comfort, its size too - weight limits, baby had much more leg room - room to grow, etc..) was worth the inconvenience of having to use it without the stroller.
