I would try him just in the pram, trust me they don't fall out (what I was worried about lol!) You can get universal shade covers at baby factory for $50, which fits our pram well. Usually when I'm out and I have the capsule in the pram I just put a blanket over the gap and either peg it down or just push the sides of the blanket in.

we just went out he had bodysuit and jersey (light)and pants and socks with muslin pegged over the top and he was too hot..weird all the other babies who were out were wearing more an not hot!!

Dh doesnt think he will fall out just thinks he's too little to sit in there by himself without lolling around..we have a green thing designed for his carseat which would probably help though..

I peg muslin over the capsule too, but you are probably better off in your pram if walking for fitness. You could try a nice soft blanket underneath Ethan in the pram, and using the head thing from the carseat is a good idea - the pram will likely have a harness to hold him in safely. I assume it has a lying down position?

I always used to put too many clothes on Anyssa when out walking - I think it gets quite hot in the prams with the sun shade over. I found it easier to dress her in less and cover her with a light blanket if necessary. Now it is a bit cooler I find I am over dressing her again!

yeah i just worry about being too cold..like today he had short sleeved bodysuit and its my fault i thought i should just put a jersey on instead of putting a long sleeved one on...partly cause its a cold wind..then we get home...i undress some of him and he wakes up and now wont sleep..lol:) we are walking for fitness but very slow at the moment as I am still recovering from the c-section.. i will try the blanket and car seat thing and see how he goes.. Dh will never know:)

I always used a blanket over the top of the stroller, on a windy day I'd just hold it better! but probably not the best hehe. As for the dummy question, I think at 2-3 mos they can start finding the dummy and putting it back in their mouth (so long as it is attached somehow so it doesn't run too far away)

LOL I gave up on the dummies, I got sick of getting up to put them back in again, in the end I got less sleep using the dummies than letting them CIO!

In this heat a muslin would be just as effective as a proper shade cover coz it breathes so will keep Ethan as cool as possible.

Those universal shade covers also tend to keep light winds from getting in too. We used one of those carseat head things (comes with velcroed insert for small babies too) in the pram and that stopped caths head from rolling about.
