can the band affect baby's position (ie: shift baby from a head down, back against belly position?

Hi. I'm not sure I bought this cause I stand up at work all day and my back started to hurt so I told my doctor and she recommended this.

I have not had this happen one time. My baby has been in the head down position for weeks now, but is constantly turning right side up, etc...whether I am wearing the band or not.

My daughter's physician advised her to purchase one with her 2nd baby. She used it with her 3rd baby also. Both pregnancies were much more comfortable for her. To my knowledge she had no complications from the belly band. I have recommended it to 2 other mommies to be. Their babies and deliveries went off without a hitch. Hope this helps.

I haven't had any problems with it. It works good to help support the extra weight around your belly.

No, you can not. Whether you have the baby on your back or in front they must be facing you. My baby still loves it.

No. Try the Ergobaby Four Position 360 Carrier to carry baby front forward facing. I found when baby was old enough to want to see around, hip wearing sufficed, and after that back wearing and he can see over or around my shoulder. Ergobaby is fantastic!

Yes it does. It moves as the baby moves and it's comfortable for them and makes them feel secure. My 20 month old still uses it every now and then when all his pajamas are in the dirty laundry. And he sleeps 10.5-11hrs. Hope that helps!

No, the baby has to face you. You can, however, wear the baby (facing you) on the front, on your back, or on your side (the side just takes re-configuration of the straps). My kids, even the ones who loved being forward-facing in the Baby Bjorn, did fine in the Ergo facing me. Once they're big enough to ride in the Ergo without the infant insert (once they have head control), they are high enough in the carrier to look around quite a bit, so I think this is why it worked for us. Hope this helps!

Yes! I have three kids and wished I had found this years ago. Watch the video on it too! You can put baby on their belly or back. I thought it was safe and much better than the plastic ones I already used before

Yes, but I believe you are only supposed to use the most reclined position. I think I found the official recommendation on uppa baby's website. We used the snug seat from very early on and liked it. Hope that helps!

There are two settings on the back legs that easily change the incline. In addition, there is a strap at the back that lowers the head when undone. I have been able to adjust all settings while the baby is in the chair and he's a hefty 20 pounds.

Yes there are two strap adjustments on the back of the carseat. It takes two seconds to adjust them with baby inside.

Iwould say yes but they have one thats not as tall . Iwould also set it so the baby could not roll off.

Yes, absolutely! The bands are adjustable, so you can make them as long or short as you need them to be. I've been using them for a few weeks, and haven't had to adjust the bottom sheet since.

I have a baby trend. Its a pain in the toosh to get on when the baby is in the seat though. FYI.. I haven't used mine yet.

The baby's arms move at the shoulders, her legs move at the hips, and her head turns. Her arms are bent at the elbows, and her legs are bent at the knees. This cannot be changed.

No but if your baby can sit up, they shouldn't move much. It's a fairly small tub and worked well for us.

I agree with the other replies. The seat reclines almost flat however there would be no head support. If you use it in the reclined position you would definitely need to have rolled blankets or pads to support the baby's head. If you're going to be using it frequently it would be best to purchase the car seat adapter.

Short answer: no. :). It does change positions for the handle and the seat but it does not go back down flat (at least as far as I have known). I recommend it though, nice quality with plenty of space, my daughter stores all her babies in it all the time. GL!

It's all attached using Velcro. You can adjust the tightness around and attach or remove the band above the belly.
