When to put babies in stroller without car seat

When did you start using your stroller without the car seat attachments, i think i read that around 4mnths you could start doing that...

 

I think it goes by weight

I was just wondering this myself. Can't wait to read the answers. Mine are about the same age as yours.

 

WEll, my kids HATED those car seats so we only used them the first few weeks.. I think we put them in the DuoGlider (that I've since thrown out a window LOL.) at like 12 weeks?? They were at least 10 lbs.. They were in snowsuits too so that helped hold them up. The baby in the back is in for a rude awakening tho (assuming you have duoglider) cuz that is not a comfy spot!!

How are you doing?? I talked w/ you a while back. Are things any easier on you?? How are the babies? You can put the babies in the stroller whenever YOU want to. See how they do. There isn't a "rule" for when you can do it.

 

I put mine in the Maclaren Twin Traveler at about 6 weeks! That was probably a little early -- they didn't look very comfortable -- but I had to get out of the house. And they usually did fall asleep after I'd been walking for a few minutes.

If you have a stroller with seats that recline flat, you can start anytime as long as they're dressed appropriately. If they are really small and the straps are too big to hold them in place, tuck some blankets in around them.

 

You can try it now depending on your stroller and how the seats recline. Mine were all the way down so we did it at 3 months. You can use the head rests and see how they do.

I have a Duoglider and we love it! I snapped in the carseats until they were about 8 months old. They were a little bigger by that point and sitting up so they seemed to like it. We recently went to watch my husband run a half marathon and the boys were in the Duoglider all day long. Riley like the back(so he can reach up and feel Parker's head) and Parker likes the front. They did great and seemed content and comfortable all day. I even fed them lunch while they sat in the stroller and I sat on the curb.

 

We had a Combi Twin Savvy, and started using it around 6 weeks.

 

My boys were born in December so I would take them for frequent walks when the weather got nice in April so about 4 months.

 

I had them in my jogging stroller (w/o jogging) at about 4 weeks with blankets under/around them. The stroller also had a headrest that kept them cuddled (It is the Valco run about).
