What age can babies go in a stroller seat?

As a parent, one of the most exciting things is seeing your little one grow and reach developmental milestones. One of those milestones is transitioning from an infant car seat or carriage mode to the stroller seat. However, it's important to remember that there isn't a one-size-fits-all age for this transition. Instead, it's based on your child's size and developmental stage.

During the first few months of life, your little one's muscles are still developing, so it's important that they ride in the stroller seat fully reclined. Once your baby can support their head on their own, typically around three months old, you can switch to a reclined position in the stroller seat. This position is better for their still-developing muscles and helps keep their airway open.

As your baby continues to grow and develop, you can switch to a fully upright position in the stroller seat once they can sit up on their own, which typically happens between five and seven months. This allows your little one to enjoy the scenery and interact with their surroundings while still being safely secured in the stroller.

It's important to remember that every child is different, so make sure to pay attention to your little one's size and developmental milestones when making the transition to the stroller seat. Always make safety a top priority, and consult with your pediatrician if you have any concerns.
