How long can I put my baby in this Cradle? Can I use this until the baby is an year old ?

I would say it depends on the weight of your baby, but not for a year. I feel they are made for you to use for the first couple months in your room until you transition them into their own room in their baby bed. Hope this helps

No. Latch it in and you are done. Unless I totally missed something. It is at the perfect angle if you ask me. I don't think I would be comfortable with a newborn in it. I started using ours at 7 months....

My grandsons used this until they could roll over. It cradles the baby. My daughter used a crib but used this next to her bed when she was nursing. It is just for a short period of time but oh so useful! It is light weight so you can move it to different rooms. I would say until the baby is between 6-9 months old depending on their ability to roll over. A crib (especially if it is convertible to a toddler bed) would of course be used longer. My daughter felt this rocker was indispensable.

It is great for newborns thru approximately 6 mos or so. After that, they tend to want to sit up and it's not really designed for that.

Yes! There are many different "holds" you can place your child in. There is one way specifically for a newborn. That hold is the only acceptable way to place your newborn. As you will read in the instructional booklet, other holds should be for after they are 2 months of age because of the positioning of their hips in that position. It is important not to place a newborns hips apart without support under the thigh because this can lead to hip dysplasia since newborns hips are free floating in the socket until they are older. I really enjoy this wrap! It is worth giving it a shot and if you find something you don't like it is very easy to return an Amazon purchase! Hope this helps and congrats on your new addition!

I think the instructions said not to use the seats until the baby is like 6 months old. However, because it reclines into an almost flat position I feel you can use it on a younger child. 1 month & 10 lbs. is probably a little small... But once they are like 4 months old it's probably okay as long as the straps can be adjusted tight enough to safely hold the baby in the stroller. For a 1 month old I'd recommend using the bassinet add on or buy the car seat adapter to use that on your stroller until your baby is a bit bigger. I hope this helps!

I have this carrier. I did not use this particular one for my baby as a newborn. I had a smaller one I used for him. It is geared towards smaller babies. I used this carrier as he got older, around 6 months.

You should be able to use this for a new born. I didn't use it until my baby was 2 months old but he was a preemie and born at 4lbs. He was too small. I used it when he was about 6 or 7 pounds and it worked great.

I think 12 months but we strapped the infant carrier in if you only have one baby

We used this from the moment our baby came home from the hospital until about 7 months old. It is good for up to 25 pounds. Our baby was not too heavy, but started to crawl out of it at 7 months.

The baby needs to have full neck strength to use this stroller. It can not be used with a car seat. I'd guess your child should be about 6-7 months to use this. It has a great 5 point harness which I highly recommend. We've been very happy with this stroller. Great value and has all the features I was looking for.

I'm not sure, I'd have to look up my stroller instructions, but my baby is 4 months old and weighs about 16-17lbs (I think or more) and he still uses the bassinet. His feet aren't too close to the edge. Even if I lift the bassinet to stroller position now his feet dont get cramned too much at the end. I like this because if it is windy or raining it doesn't get him all wet. The hood of the stroller would be nicer if it was a little bigger or had a middle position. There isn't any shocksystem, but it's a stroller and I'm not jogging or going over bumpy terrain with it. I love the stroller. But I can't see some people not.

I'm currently using this with my newborn. And depending on the size of your baby and how they grow, I would assume you'd be able to use this until about 6-9 months.

Depends on the size. If the baby is still in this kind of car seat, then yes. My son stopped using it at 7 months, but that was only because we changed to a convertible seat.

You may want to play it by ear. Some babies do not like being in the car seat (like mine) so we used the actual stroller seat with the snug seat insert. If your baby ends up liking the car seat, you can probably wait until he's 4 - 5 months and put him directly in the stroller without the insert.

Hi Kelly! The owners manual doesn't recommend running with an infant until 8 months of age. We waited until our child could sit up by herself at 6 months before just using the stroller by itself. I'm not sure of your situation but, the best set-up would be a Bob Stroller with a Britax adaptor and Britax car seat for the first 6 months. After that you would just use the stroller by itself. The stroller is awesome, we used it for walking around stores when she was a newborn in her car seat and now we run with her in the stroller. It's definitely worth the money, especially of you plan on having another kid. Hope that helps! If you have any more questions feel free to ask! Travis

You should definitely get an extra mattress for this cradle, the pad it comes with is not enough for baby! We used the pad in it plus a 3 inch cradle mattress we purchased separately!
