He loved to sit up by holding on to the snack tray or by himself alot, so he was really happy. We started using the stroller without the carseat the travel system came with at 3 months.

Its just for convenience that it attaches to the stroller You can put them in the stroller right away…on the lowest setting…my son hated the infant car seat.

As long as the stroller back can recline more than 45 degrees (which the metrolite does), it is safe to place babies under 6 months old directly in the stroller. You may want to use the head rest that comes with the car seat ( and sometimes the stroller) just to support the babies head if you are going to be on a bumpy surface. You will need to recline the stroller back to at least 45 degrees to make sure the baby's head does not fall forward and obstruct its airway and then you are good to go.

While he can hold his head 'well', he's going to be exhausted if he's trying to hold it up for a long time. Our kids rode in the car seat till they were no longer using the car seat. If they're reclined, they'll be fine, but they're happier to be in the car seat, facing you. Make sure its reclined.

You can see the baby better in the carseat because they are facing you, and if they fall asleep, you can transport them after your trip without waking them up or moving them around. Just my oppinion!

It's your baby, do as you please. I would say when the baby is 4 months, but some people put the baby in the stroller without the carseat as a newborn. It’s your baby, do as you please.

You can put a rolled up blanket on either side of him so he doesn't bounce around, and lay the seat all the way down. Check the manual first, to see if it says anything, but we took my daughter on walks that way. You could put him in there now.
