Anyone else thinking of moving their baby from the bassinet to the seat attachment?
Our bassinet says “up to 9kg / 6 months” but our little girl is about 6.5kg and 3 months and is already starting to look squished in there (her arms touching the sides and irritating her in her sleep!)
I have the Nuna Mixx Next, so the seat attachment is newborn friendly anyway, because it’s completely lie-flat if needed.

We changed ours to the seat at about 8/9 weeks as he wasn't settled in the bassinet anymore wanted to look around and he was getting too big! Just make sure you have it on the lie flat option 😊 We sometimes have it next click up so it's like a bouncer angle but he's much more settled!!

Yeh we've just changed ours as have a very long girly, she is 12 weeks next week and much happier since the change!

Random question but what car seat do you have? I'm really unhappy with my nuna one and apparently other types are compatible. Do you have nuna or something different?
Awww our baby girl is called Beatrice ❤️
I have a Nuna Mixx Next pram and I use the Cybex Cloud T car seat (it came with adapters to attach to the pram, but honestly I haven’t used them very often, I find it easier to just transfer in and out!) Just bare in mind that car seat usually only lasts until they’re about 18 months because it’s an infant carrier… We’re looking to get the Axkid Minikid as our next one, which is fixed in the car, but has excellent safety ratings and reviews!

Aw love that! Thank you for your reply. Yeah I'm in two minds what to do but I'm nervous to go in the car anywhere over half an hour ATM. I've contacted nuna and they have provided some tips but tbh his chin is still down on his chest. I have a Joie spin I can try first to see if it's better

My son is 10 weeks and I am wondering the same. He seems to still enjoy lying down and doesn’t complain, although almost touching the top. The seat attachment feels a bit exposed for me at the moment, I’m going to wait a couple more weeks. I tried him in it once, and he didn’t like having the straps on him, needs a bit of practice 😅

I moved mine this week. She’s 13 weeks. I only did it because she loves looking around. She has to see EVERYTHING. And she was started to fuss for me to pick her up more often. Having her in the seat allows her to see way more and she’s happier. I also have the Mixx Next.

We’ve also just moved him (14 weeks) in our travel pram - he was literally touching both ends (feet and head) at the same time. But he is very long and already in 6-9 month clothes. Will keep him in the other bassinet as long as he is happy in it, but it’s also getting quite squishy! He is barely in it anyway as he prefers the baby carrier.

I hated the infant carrier that was part of our silver cross travel system for the same reason, chin always pushed down and just never looked comfy! We bought the joie spin when my now 3 year old was 4 weeks old and it was soo much better. For this baby we only used the infant carrier for the journey home from hospital and have used the joie spin since. Just make sure you recline it all the way x

And to answer the original post sorry 😂I am going to use the bassinet as long as possible but that’s cos this is my last baby and I am not prepared to accept we don’t need the pram anymore 😭😭 I’m sure with my 1st he was in the chair by now but my little girl still has room and is still happy in there so I’m in no hurry to change x
