Question re Indie twin

lhylcnlhylcn
in Two Under 2

I know this is the double we want but i thought i had to wait until my younger one was older to get it because our car seat (Orbit) doesn't fit/isn't compatible with the stroller.  The other day i saw a woman with an infant in the stroller, without a carseat.  She had the footrest all the way up and the baby was lying back and looked pretty comfy...I didn't know you could do this...have you put your infant in one side without a carseat?  My LO is 10 weeks, my DS is 21 months.  Thanks!

    i haven't used it yet but they also have these bassinet type things that you can buy for it. i think they're $99 or something but it's basically like a moses basket that snaps into the stroller

    All the time!  When she was really little (like under a month until 2 months) we used to roll up some receiving blankets and put them on either side of her, in addition to having the seat completely flat and the footrest up.  DD did just fine that way!  

    DD was born in May and having her in the car seat to go out for walks was just too hot.  She did much better laying flat in the seat.  And my DS never bothered her either.  He was too interested in everything else going on while we were walking!  Only now do they seem to try to touch each other...and mostly it is DD who reaches over to try and grab DS's snacks :)

    The first time I did it without the infant seat was around 3.5-4 months. She did fine in it, just laying like she would on the floor. I laid the seat completely flat, lifted the footrest and snapped the seat cover (the footrest on the seat cover has snaps that hold it up like a box around a newborn. I am much more comfortable doing it now and she is able to recline slightly rather than lay flat (she likes it better when she can sit up and see more, too). I don't know how early I would have started using it without the infant seat, but it would have been too cold before now anyhow.

    I'd try the carseat - even though it doesn't officially fit as per bumbleride - it may fit just fine. I had a graco and it only basically sat on top - it didn't click on tight or anything.

    But yes - you can put an 11 weeker in there I bet. I always had the foot rest up with DD.
