Is the back sit good for a 5 month old baby? He is about 19 lbs.

If they could sit up on their own. The equipment was a bit flimsy. I ended up returning this item and bought the Mountain Buggy +1 which was the best investment if you're willing to spend the money!

It should be fine. It reclines a bit, but not all the way flat, so as long as he's got some decent neck control or you put in a head support it will be fine. Honestly the stroller pushes a LOT better when the heavier kid sits in the back, but the back seat is the only one that adjusts. It is a really good travel stroller tho, especially if you're tight on trunk space

I think from birth is fine. Our little guy is now 13 pounds, 22 inches, and fits really well. When he was born he was early at 5 pounds and change; he didn't fit well at that time, but sometime in between everything worked out, probably all depends on length. Even when he was was tiny we put him in once for a short walk and just reclined the back so that there wasn't as much effect of gravity. The next time we tried it after that he was around 8-9 pounds and was fine. Hope that helps some.

Personally, I wouldn't put a newborn in the fully reclined toddler seat. It doesn't seem very safe and comfortable when they are so little. I have used the bassinet for my baby from 0 - 7 months and now (she is 8 months) I am using the toddler seat. I think Britax also says that the toddler seat is not for children under 6 months.

My child is 4 months old and about 14 pounds. I think we will be able to use it for another few months before it becomes too tight in our convertible car seat.

I'm not sure how big your five year old is but it seems like it might be small. I use this for my 2 year old and his sister who is 10 mos.

Yes, this seat may be used in the rear-facing position for a newborn baby that is over 5 lbs. Infant Positioning Insert may be necessary for small infants to achieve a snug fit of the harness around your child (sold separately). However, you may find an "infant carseat" more satisfactory and/or convenient for the first six months of your baby's life, as they are portable. We moved up to the Britax Advocate 70-G3 when our baby out-grew her "infant seat". Furthermore, if expense is key and you can not aford to buy two carseats, infant seat and convertable seat, then get the convertable seat as it will last you the longest and it is the best value for your money. Good luck with your little one!

Yes for 5-7 pound babies, not after that really. it's comfortable for one up to 13/15 pounds.

my son is 5 months old and he's above average with his height and I still use this . I think it should be great till he's at least 1 year of age ..

My baby is 5 months 18lbs and he has no issues. He even wears cloth diapers too and the bulkiness doesn't seem to affect him fitting in the chair.

Hello hope all is well. I bought this for my then 15 month old boy. Now is 24 month old and still fit nicely. Only one thing with the front tray is to not use lot of clothing that can squish the legs. If is a big boy I suggest to not put the tray but to snack. Its not heavy and to fold it needs practice but in general it worth the price. Two position for child to sleep and canopy that doesnt bother him at all.

The seat can technically be used for as small as a 5 lb baby. That being said, it is a big seat and I personally feel that the shoulder straps on this seat are pretty far apart and so I'm not sure it would secure a small baby very well. I started using the seat when my kids were bigger...like 9 months or so. It's a great car seat.

The chair sets straight up and does not lean back. Depending on how tall and how strong your baby is when sitting up will be your deciding factor rather than age. I would guess by 7-8 months would be okay. I love the chair. The tray as stated by others fits tight but it is not that big of a deal to me.

No. It is not designed for that and would not be safe. However, the seats recline and the two back seats are safe for infants of 2-3 monthd

My daughter is about 17lb at 5 months old and we still use it with her every day. Hope this helps!

Not really...you can put a towel under the front to push it slightly back but if you have a small infant, it really is not a good seat for them. I got it for my grandson when he was about 6 months old, but he is a big boy...wouldn't have worked as well if he were tiny.

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.

Not at all! My toddler is almost 20 months old and weigths 25.5 pounds; and the seat supports him perfectly.
