Great question! I was just starting to think about that! You're a mind-reader.

We have a maclaren. I think we started taking her around in it at around 5 months old.

@chopsuey119: Which one do you have? We got the Quest. Like it so far, but the buckle kind of annoys me.

@Mrs. Yoyo: we have the volo. Not a fan. The straps and buckle bug me. I got it as a gift though and threw the box away before I realized I didn't like the 100 dollar umbrella stroller that doesn't recline. Blah. We don't use it often though. We usually carry her in the ergo. By we I mean dh

We have an UppaBaby G-luxe that I use now in the recline position (he's 4 months) for short jaunts. Anything more than about 30 minutes though I usually just opt to bring our Vista.

I think he was around 1. We didn't need one around where we live, but we got one when we went on vacation.

With my first baby, we put her in the maclaren quest at around 5 months. I used one of those body snugglers though to support her because it was still a bit roomy. She was also still always in a bit of a recline since sitting almost fully upright wasn't something she was too used to yet. I had to get used to her facing out in the stroller, but it was fine as we only used it a few times at that age.
With 2.0, she is almost 6 months and not anywhere near being in one partly because we use our double a lot now and I don't want her to face out just yet... I guess I'm baby-ing my baby a bit more the 2nd time around
