Just wondering if anyone has used the Strider without a bassinette for their newborn? We had our heart set on the 4 wheeler strider, but when we were just about to hand over the money to buy one, the Baby Bunting lady told us we would have to buy a bassinette as a newborn couldn't be put into the normal seat as it didn't lie completely flat.
Is this right? Do we have to spend all that money on a bassinette that he will only be in for a couple of months? Anyone know why the seat, when reclined, can't be used for a newborn?
The website says it is suitable from birth and at the baby and child expo, when we saw the new Strider being demonstrated, it actually had a head support insert and foot muff obviously aimed at newborn babies as part of it's normal seat. The bassinette and car seat parts were on show too, but the manufacturers are obviously quite comfortable putting newborns in them, so why does the baby bunting lady say otherwise? Does she have info that the steelcraft don't want us to know, or is she trying to make a sale? It definitely backfired on her, as we didn't buy the pram that day...........

Soooo many dilemma's......just wanting to hear from others who have used the seat for their brand new bubs or who know why the seat isn't suitable......
Cheers
