Infant carrier in the back?? Has anyone tried to put the infant carrier in the back part?

I would never, NEVER put the carseat in the back of this carriage... it's just not worth it. It's not the way the carriage was made or intended for use. Accidents happen...what if you were to tip the carriage up to go up a curb and the carseat fell out?!? I saw someone's review with a picture of the carseat in the back like you are describing and I thought to myself...CRAZY! Use the thing the way it was intended. Better to be safe than sorry. If you think your older child will get bored (?) give them a book to look at or play a little game with them like I Spy or soimething. Your sister doesn't even have this model carriage...don't do it. Follow the directions; it's better than a trip to the emergency room. And if you were to use it incorrectly and something went wrong; you'd look like such an incompetant when you explained how your child/children got hurt. I'm big for following directions and using things properly. Good luck!

Not that I know of. My youngest was 8 months old when we bought it, and she sits right in the stroller. I don't think it's made to accommodate an infant carrier.

We got this for our granddaughter at our son's request. The carrier is otherwise wonderful but they were disappointed not to be able to have her face forward when it's used as a front carrier. Tried and couldn't make it happen. If you find that it can be done, let me know.

Im not sure why you couldn't use for newborns...we used an insert for the carseat and laid the seat down..however I had to return because it was too big. I ended up getting a phil &teds; navigator with double kit which I love. Although its not side by side.

It is made for front carry only. I wouldn't feel safe doing another position. It's a great carrier with great support. I could wear my little for extended hours and not have any back pain as experienced with other carriers.

Not per say. I always place the carrier in the back seat and put the seat belt through the handles. I do this for any carrier.

I have not used any other ergo carrier but my little guy does get pretty warm in the performance. I don't think any carrier could really be very cool since the baby is right up against you.

I agree, I havent placed baby outward facing on the mei tai and I dont think it would work either.... I usually carry baby on my back.....

You'll have to search for the specific accessories. They have some for particular brands (graco, chicco, etc), and then also a universal adapter. I never used it with a infant carrier, but they list the compatible seats in the details for the respective accessories.

This would work great! It's seriously the most versatile carrier we have tried. I'm 5ft and my hubby is almost 6ft. We both use it fine. It's got a good wide bottom so it supports the baby properly instead of letting them dangle. Our son loves it and he's 15 months old and still has room to grow in it.

Great quality carrier. Great for infants 3 months & up. Great back support. Very comfortable for baby aswell as mom/dad. All day wear due to the paddings. Baby is seated in his/ her own pouch, instead of against ur clothes. Younger baby's need Somen like a wrap where it's more swaddling in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend this Bjorne to moms under height 5.4 I'm selling mine for $65 on ebay as I'm too short for it so I didn't use mine for very long.

The toddler seat isn't really usable with an infant carrier. They can only use the standing option. I would actually not buy this stroller because it is wobbly and can't function as a double stroller with the carrier.

I took both carriers off the stroller and used them in the car for my cats. When I stopped somewhere I took the stroller out of the back, set it up and hook the carriers on. I had to adjust how the breaks on the back wheels went on because the pole they sent wasn't long enough.I snapped the pole that goes across the top of the carriers on upside down, so the "opening" was up instead of down how they say to put it. Less likely for it to come off while carrying it with a fur baby is in it. When I do have one of my fur babies in it I carry it so the bottom is supported.

It is not really suited for use as a carrier in general. If the baby is in it, holding it by the handle without using another hand to brace it doesn't work well. It simply tips forward and back too much. It is nice for carrying it without the baby and for lifting it onto the stroller though.

I find that it's relatively easy. I have the ErgoBaby Sport, but it goes on the same way. I think it's super easy to put on with baby in the front, a bit more tricky on the hip (though I have that down cold), and a bit more difficult on the back. I had my husband help me a few times so that I could adjust everything correctly. I have longer arms, so I can reach back and clip the back support fairly easily. I think if you go into major retailers, they'll have a sample you can try out - it took me 2-3 times, but I whip that thing on and off like nothing now. :) Hope this helps!

I started using this once she was over one year. I used a different Graco infant carrier from 0-1yr. The babies do sort of lie down/prop up in an infant carrier. Once transitioned to this carseat, she sits with her back fairly straight. It is not as straight as she will be once she's in a booster seat with no backing, but I wouldn't not consider this reclined like the infant carrier. She has never complained about this seat. She seems very comfortable and I feel safe with it.

The full car seats do not move as easily between vehicles as the infant carriers where the base stays strapped in. I would not call it "easy" to move between vehicles, but it is doable. The seat belt has to go through the bottom rungs, which is cumbersome. Or it snaps into latch connectors in the seat (also not something easily repeated daily). The older infant/toddler seats in general are not easy to move between cars. It is not as if this is more difficult than others brands.
