  How old for bugaboo pushchair ?

  flowerpower Joined on 16-Jan-2007 United Kingdom Posts 55	Contact Ok so this is a daft question but when do you start using the pushchair as opposed to the carrycot?  I have a bugaboo and E is steadily growing fast and is nearly too long for it.  He is 11 weeks at the moment.   Huge thanks in advance FP x x

  Contact It does say 6 months although I know a lot of people swap it over a lot sooner. Lily is 17 and a half weeks and still in the carrycot. I have tried to make it a bit more interesting for her by putting a cot book in there and a whoozit activity spriral on the handlebar. If you are using the car seat on the frame, the guidelines are for no longer than 2 hours which is why we don't use it. Better to use the buggy in the fully reclined position than the car seat IMO.
