Six months (no scientific reference). But I think ticklishness is actually learned behavior, like when someone is trying to tell a joke and they start laughing before the punch line. It makes you want to laugh too. Seeing an adult making goofy faces while tickling encourages the child to laugh. They can't do that until they realize your intent, which is around six months in my experience.
So, I'm wondering, would you still endorse your stroller now that you've had a chance to use it? We bought a Combi, like the first one you tested, and it is lacking... I'm thinking of upgrading and was looking for some advice.
We absolutely LOVE the Zooper Hula that we bought. It steers nicely and it collapses easily. It fits our carseat perfectly and securely. It also looks really nice.
The only thing I could say against it is that the cargo basket is not very accessible when you have a carseat in it, and it's not overly large.
H has been ticklish for a while, he first laughed at 11 weeks. A was about the same probably longer, I don’t think it is a learned behavior because I don’t make goofy faces when tickling my kids. The time leading up to the laughing is funny though, you can tell they are ticklish because they tense up and kinda squirm a bit and maybe smile but don’t yet laugh.

I don't remember when the ticklishness begins, but nothing beats a baby giggle.

Mine started around 3 months and it was just light touches below her chin/upper chest. Adorable.

I would still recommend it.
Derek, with your skills with pulling goofy faces I would think you could get Scott to start giggling right now! Try it! You'll like it!
