The Thule Baby Support is an accessory to be used with Thule strollers; it features padded sides and head support for extra comfort and security. It’s suitable for babies aged between 6-18 months.

If your child can sit on his/her own but is still struggling to hold the neck steady, then you should consider using the Thule baby supporter.

Note: Make sure the harness and waist belt are in good condition before every use.

Here’s how to set up the supporter in the stroller.

First, you install the back inside supports. Unclip the shoulder harness and get it out of the way; move the belts to the side, so that we can sit the back and the side support in the center.
There are two hooks and loop straps on the back that will wrap around the shoulder harness buckle straps, and secure at the back as a support. Next you need to let the light belts through the straps on the sides. This will help raise the light belt and give it the precision for a small child to sit. Repeat the same on the other side.
Next you install the head support. There are four hook loop straps on the back of the head support that will wrap around the shoulder harness.
Once done, you’re ready to reattach the shoulder harness. Snap in the buckles. Now we will use the straps at the bottom of the next support to pull the buckle out of the way and keep it from digging into the child.
The crotch strap of the shoulder harness also threads to the bottom of the baby support pad.

With the baby support system, your child’s body is cradled right and protected. The Thule Baby Supporter is perfect for Thule’s multi-functional child carriers.

Thule Chariot Baby Supporter says:

I bought the Chariot Baby Supporter for my child who is 11 months old, we use the chariot for biking as well as for cross country skiing. Some reviewers have mentioned that they found that it didn't hold the baby's head up once they was asleep. I would recommend using the Chariot Infant Sling instead for the first few months and at least until the child is 1 year old (it's recommended to 12 months). After that you may switch over to the baby supporter for the following months until the child can be fitted with a helmet (typically around 2 yrs).

The infant sling works like a hammock and keeps the baby at a better angle for keeping the head up and neck straight (I did use his car seat head supporter inside the infant sling when my baby was very little for additional support).
