I think you could get away with using it from birth if you get one of those carseat/ pushchair inserts to put in the seat. We had to get one for Frankie's carseat as she seemed lost in it when she was first born....Lemme see if I can find a picture so I can show you what I mean.

Here, its not a good picture, but this is the support I put in both my pushchair and carseat for Frankie. It helps fill the gaps! lol

ahhh, thx Rachie, I never knew there is sth like this

that looks like the perfect solution

thx a lot for that

we had a dreami carrycot and used it until Olivia was 4 months old, you can pick them up quite cheaply on ebay (the interior is fully washable)

I think maclaren has one that is from birth, I have no idea what it is like though. I got the quinny and maxi cosy but still waiting for bubba to come to try it out

we sas one from maclaren, but to unfold and fold it you must press this button and at the same time you must step on this footstep and after you have to turn this handle...

the folding mechanism is really bad!

We've got a Maclaren Techno XT that we keep in DH's boot of his car for Olivia if we're out and about without knowing we'll need a buggy (in which case I take DS in the sling).

It's a handy wee thing but the lack of suspension means it's not as comfortable ride for the little one and doesn't offer the things a pushchair like the Quinny has to offer.
