Question for those with b-agile or city mini
I have a b-agile, but I know the city mini is nearly identical. And the problem I'm having happens when I put DD in my friend's city mini. Basically, DD is a very petite and slight 8 month old. When I try to put her in the stroller (ie not using the infant seat bc I know sometimes she likes to stretch out), she sort of just flops all the way to the side once she is done sitting herself up. I've tried adjusting thestraps, and I've tried one of those infant whole body inserts. I feel bad for her bc she seems so uncomfortable, and there isn't much support along the interior sides of the stroller for her head and shoulders, for her to lean against.
Does anyone else have this problem? I'm worried because, due to logistical issues, we will be moving to regular car seats soon, and won't have the carrier. And, like I said, she does like to stretch out if we will be using the stroller for day-long activities.
Should I look for another stroller to use for awhile? Is this something she will outgrow very quickly? Any other ideas anyone has? Ay suggestions for light strollers if I do need to get one until she "fits" my b-agile (which I otherwise LOVE)?

Re: Question for those with b-agile or city mini
Is LO getting sleepy and leaning to the side? Because the city mini lays fairly flat and I always just would let her lay back when she got tired.

My DS was a big baby and we had him out of the car seat attachment thing at 6 months. He did "lean" to one side or another for a little bit. I don't think it lasted that long - I put a blanket on his sides sometimes. I love the city mini but I do feel it sometimes sits far back.

I didn't use it when my kids were small. It wasn't comfy for my HUGE 4 month old.

I had the same problem with the b-agile. Dd looked so uncomfortable in it, and it was too big for her even at 1 yr. I only started using it around 2 yrs old. In the meantime I relied more on our Chicco stroller

Yes, I could put it back for when she is napping. I'm talking more when she is awake and looking around, and just sitting back, chilling. That's when she leans to the side and there is no support.

I had my DS in the city mini starting at 4m. He's a peanut and never had issues. It might just be how she sits and you won't notice in the carrier since they are really cradled in there.

One of my boys was leaning to one side of the stroller. So I switched them around. It seems to be the right side of the stroller where they sorta lean to the side which is unsupported. It annoys me. My ds who I placed on that side is always leaning out of the stroller so he can see everything and doesn't affect him much. If he does lean back and I see him leaning to the sides try my best to adjust. My boys will be 15 months.

This was happening with my 6mo but I just adjusted the straps so that they're alittle snug but not too tight... She was fine after that
