According to my research, this infant carrier is 5 to 10 pounds lighter than most of them on the market, has anyone noticed this one seeming lighter?

It is much lighter. I used this one for my 3rd child and I noticed a world of difference. Previously I used the one that comes with a stroller....never again. This one is perfect!

It really does weigh just 8 lbs. That is the seat itself not including the base which you never carry around it just stays in your car. My daughter is pregnant with her 1st baby and we were car seat shopping, it was confusing. A lady with three kids and one on the way asked my daughter if this was her first baby, she answered yes and the lady said "follow me" and she led us to this car seat. She said "this is the easiest lightest best car seat around." We bought it then and there and then bought an extra base to so my daughter coukld have a base in her cvar and one in her husband's so they don't have to move the base each time they are in a different car. My daughter's baby will be here any day now but she said the car seat and bases are installed and easy to do. We're more than happy with it!

Yes it is. I have bought this same one in september for my daughter and my daughter was only 11 months old but shes tall for her age. And I believed she weighed 20lbs. Hope this helps. :) and your baby will love it. My lil girl sure does

The description lists this item as 14lbs. I've never found it to be too heavy, but I guess you have to consider what else (including a toddler) you might be hauling. That being said we've loved that this feels really sturdy and that the handles are taller than most 'umbrella' type strollers (I'm 5'10" and my husband is 6'4"). Hope that helps.

The label says that it's 10 lbs (which is kind of ridiculous as our baby was born weighting a few oz. shy of 9 lbs!). What makes more sense is until baby is able to push of on hands and knees (which it also states, that and 'or until baby is 3 mos old').

The manufacturer just released a lighter-weight version, where the inner and outer layers are both cotton. I now have my son sleeping in that one, and he is able to maintain a comfy temperature. (If you go to Facebook and like their page, you can get 15% off your order! and if you buy 2, you get another 15% off). I haven't seen the lightweight one on amazon yet. I do still make sure to keep baby's room around 70 degrees at night though.

No it's not 10 pounds! It probably weighs 2 or 3 at most! You should be fine!

I've been unable to find the site which showed a comparison of the strollers and the weight they carry. I bought this one because it allowed for a higher weight limit than some of the others in the price range. I have an 18 lb Pug with hip and back issues who uses it primarily. However, her brother is 34 lbs and sometimes rides with her. I don't know how it would hold up over time with that much weight, but it doesn't have any problem with the 52 lbs it carries occasion.

Golly, I think it is lighter for sure. I haven't weighed it but it feels more like 5-6 lbs to me. Of course I've never worked for a carnival guessing peoples weight either. :) I 'm sure it is less weight than my hard case.

I would imagine it is not the lightest stroller out there, but I always carry my two toddlers in it (45 to 50 pounds). In my humble opinion the pros outweigh the cons of this stroller, but it is certainly not feather light. I would advice the makers to make a version out of lighter metal, but that would certainly affect the price tag. For this price, best stroller out there. It is better then even some more expensive, top brands out there (I know. Because I also own a Peg-perego.

Hi, Morgan. I have this fabric, and it is very lightweight. It's very pretty, I think, I love the colors even better than just viewing it online. Should be perfect for baby :-)

According to the manufacturer's website, 10.25 lbs., so 10 lbs. is right on the mark. It doesn't feel this heavy, though, because it's well balanced for carrying.

We own the Baby Bjorn Carrier One and we love it. it is not made to carry a baby fcing outward on the back and I have never heard of any carrier that can do this.

It probably weighs more than that. I see specs that say 4.5 lbs but I'm not certain. Bottom line is I've had many carry bags and this one is light, durable and attractive. Really love this bag.

It's not very heavy at all... I'm going to guess it at 1.5 pounds by the feel. But since it's a preemie that fits this little guy fine in my opinion.

Our baby is 25lbs now. We hike with her in the carrier. I just looked on the carrier, it's says the max weight is 25lbs.

I believe the answers citing the 5 lbs min weight are correct (as per the product manual). If I am not mistaken the inclination of the seat can be modified as well. I have not personally used on my child as an infant, but only 10 months, because I had the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio before. If that seat existed when she was a newborn I would have probably bought it for one of the cars. However the Primo Viaggio was very convenient, especially when going to dinner, as we could just take the baby everywhere in the car seat and she would be very quiet. She was not big enough or had enough strenght to be in a highchair before 7-8 months. I believe the answers citing the 5 lbs min weight are correct (as per the product manual).
