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

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.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
