Bob question

[hannahb]

This has been asked before and probably by me. Do you run with the infant adaptor? I know it's not recommended because of being top heavy but we are talking paved surface and closed to traffic.

[kjh]

You're not supposed to run while babies are little.

[hannahb]

He's 61/2 months. Has good head control but I'm still hesitant given it being top heavy.

My pediatrician told us at 2 months he could run with me as long as he is in the car seat with the adapter. I'm not off roading or anything, so the ride is just as smooth as in the car..

[Brit]

Our pediatrician have it the ok on flat smooth surfaces.

[runblondie26]

I do. I started running with DD when she was around 8 weeks, and DS around 4 weeks.

I did, but by 6 months I put them right in with no adaptor. The head control was good by then and it is way easier to push with out the extra weight of the car seat.

I just got mine, so I'll only be using it with #2, but asked my friends the same. They all started jogging with the littles in car seats early. But at 6.5 mo and because you're so speedy, I'd recline the baby and add a receiving blanket for more neck stability.

[hannahb]

Did it! Don't know why I was so paranoid. He was fine. I used the adaptor.

[kams]

Yes on smooth surfaces. So glad it went well! It is a life saver.

i did it very early on (4 weeks) and on a smooth paved path. i moved him to the stroller, reclined, at 13 weeks with our pedi's blessing provided it was on smooth surfaces.

[gummybear]

I did with the adapter, but only on paved, smooth surfaces. The ped. said it was fine.

[emuni04]

I never used the adapter and I started jogging with L at around 5ish months. She had good head control and I just took it slow and ran around our neighborhood (newer subdivision, so smooth roads and sidewalks).

I was paranoid, too. It's normal!
