can this be used with a newborn?

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!

In my opinion yes it can and the instructions that come with the carrier show you how to position a baby to support the head. Its very snug and therefore will hold a newborn very securely. I used mine with my son after he was a month old and it was fine.

I have been using it with my baby since she was 4 weeks old and 8.5lbs. I would have used it sooner if I had had it. If I have another child I will use it from the beginning!

I don't know really. My grandson is 2 yo. I think it is too big for a newborn unless there is an inner pad for a baby

Yes, it is suitable for a newborn. The stroller reclines nearly flat. We took my son for a walk in it when he was six days old. We did use a JJ Cole Infant Body Pillow in the stroller to give him some extra cushioning and to help the harness fit a bit better.

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....

I plan to use it for a newborn. If you look at the company's web site they say it's suitable, but that it's a good idea to buy an infant insert to give more support for the head and neck. There are lots of options for those for use in car seats, strollers, etc. I plan to add that and start using it right away.

Yes !!! I am using it for my newborn. Perfect natural support. Worth every penny!! I wish I had this for my earlier babies.

I would not put a newborn in this. The seat does not lay flat and so they would be thrown around too much. I also bought the single citi mini which is virtually identical and the salesperson told me that it is not recommended for a child under 6 months.

Yes, I believe so. We started at 3 weeks, but I suppose it depends on the size of the newborn.

Yes, the carseat clicks into the stroller. the stroller alone should not be used for newborns.

Although you could buy an infant insert, I wouldn't recommend this for a newborn. It just doesn't recline enough for a newborn to be in a good position that supports their neck. I switched to this seat when my son was 7 months old and had good head control

This will work for a newborn if you purchase the insert for newborn is available with the carrier.

Yes, it should sutible for newborns. Although I haven't tried it on a newborn yet (my son isn't due for another 4months), I don't see why it would work. This type of thermometer is used by most pediatricians. My 2yr old daughter didn't mind having her temp checked.

Yes. It has extra support to fit in a newborn and then remove later. Just keep in mind that it is not as easy to carry around like car seats that are designed just for newborns that will click into a stroller and have a handle so you can carry the baby around in the seat. But if you are on a budget, and just want to purchase one car seat, this will fit a newborn to 65 lbs.

The new born may be too tiny for this. Second thing, some times babies will startle when you spray water on them, so the chances of slipping are a lot which is dangerous ( solution: Use a towel on top of this as it increase friction and reduces slippage)The mesh is soft enough for the new born's skin.We ended up returning ours, but got it as a gift from a friend, so ended up using it!. Folds terrible, but other wise works fine.

Yes, I used it for my newborn with the insert. Now at 8 months were still using. I think she'll be out of it by a year. I am very happy with my purchase.

I think the stroller is recommended for use for babies that can at least sit (have more head control). They make car seat adapters that can hold an infant car seat in the stroller. That is a great option for utilizing the stroller with newborns. I believe exact recommendations/specifications are on the website.

I use it for my newborn. You just have to buy a car seat adapter for the stroller.
