Bugaboo Cameleon Owners

[Glutenberg]

At what age did you change your Cameleon from pram to buggy?

Our 3.5 month old daughter seems a bit bored lying flat on her back.

Obviously she cannot sit upright independently so the upright position is not suitable, but do you think the semi upright position is ok? Or is 3.5 months too young?

Any thoughts appreciated

My son was 4 months old and really enjoyed the change, you can always change back if you decide she isn't ready x

We changed it when our son could sit well with support, so about 5 months.

Given that you can lie the chair all the way back if you need to, you could probably change it earlier even though the instrucitons say to wait until 6m. The other option is to use it with your car seat, which is a bit more upright anyway.

We have an old Gecko (sim to Cam) for our daughter. When you change to seat might depend on how well your LO can sit up. Although my daughter could hold her own head up pretty much from birth, she wasn't sitting up well until around 6 or 7 months. We changed around 6 months to the the buggy seat, but left the seat in the semi-reclined and parent-facing position. She still likes the semi-reclined position best (now 2.5 yrs), but we went fwd facing around 18 months. The most important thing is that your child is secure in the seat/straps and there is not too much strain on the neck/back. If not, maybe try proping her head up on a pillow when she is in the pram on her back, until she is a few wks older? You could also try a different toy arch or some soft books to keep up her interest. xx

Our daughter didn't like the pram part of the Cameleon much, I'd end up carrying her in the ling and pushing an empty pram! We moved her into the buggy part at anout 4 months even though she was a small baby. Kept it seat unit semi reclined and forward facing. We put a sheepskin buggy liner in which made it cosy.

We found the seat way too big at 3-4 months, but my son hated lying flat in the pram. We therefore attached our carseat and used that instead until about 5 or 6 months, which solved the problem.

My daughter also hated the pram, changed it over at 5 months even though she was much to small for it! I also found putting a sheepskin on the buggy made it much more comfortable for her.
