Infants in BOBs ?

I'm almost positive that I recall some of the ladies here saying that they started using their BOB strollers around 6-8 wks (obviously I would be walking, not running with them at that age).  If it worked for you, how did you do it?  Recline the seats back?  Did you add any head supports or anything?  I'm itching to take them for walks in the BOB vs the DSNG...

    I know that the BOBs have infant car seat attachments so that you can attach the infant carrier to the BOB.  This is how I plan to use the BOB for walks wwith my infants.

    We just bought the BOB this weekend.  My girls are 8 months though.  You should know that the infant seat attachment is only for one infant seat, so you cant use two infant seats with the BOB.  That's what we were told when we bought it, as my girls are still in infant seats.  I have seen people use them with their LO's at 8 weeks and they sell these fuzzy inserts.  I would want some sort of head support for them so I don't know if they sell that ot if you could use something else and put it in the BOB seat to use with it to just give your LO's added head protection.

    Yeah, we weren't planning on using an infant seat since the BOB can only accommodate one.  I was under the impression that some MoMs were able to put their infants in the BOB without a car seat.

    Exactly.  I think they do.  We probably would have if I had it when they were younger.  The weight requirements of the BOB clearly show that you can do it and I know moms who have.  One mom I know made her own makeshift head support with receiving blankets.

    I didn't realize until now that the duallie infant seat adaptor only allows for oen carseat.  A lady win my running group walked with her infants in her BOB starting when they were just a few weeks old. I'm going to have to ask her hwo she did it!

    I started taking my girls on walks in the BOB when they were about 8 weeks old. I just have those snuzzler inserts and have them fully reclined. I wouldn't take it on trails or anything, but its perfectly fine and they don't bounce at all on pavement.

    As a side note, my girls started to fuss sometimes in the BOB (they are about 10 weeks) so I actually have to swerve it side to side to create more motion to calm them down because it is so smooth.
