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!

No, and I agree with others that its best to by the safest car seat and seperate stroller. The car seat carriers are inexpensive. We had one and then bought this stroller when our child turned one, so he could enjoy facing forward.

You can't. I wish you could. But for my 19lb 4 month old who can't sit on her own and HATES the carrier because she is smooshed.. this is a lifesaver!

Yes this can be used for an infant. I used this for my newborn. When they are little you use it by them front facing you (almost like your hugging them)...the "back" will roll up a bit so it supports their little head. As the baby grown and can support his/her head you turn them around in it so they are facing out. The "back" part I mentioned earlier will fold down and snap. You can also adjust the sides to support at different weights/heights...etc... I must say after trying two other carriers....this is by far is the most comfortable. Another good point to mention is that I can literally take this on and off while baby is in my arms asleep...and lay them down to sleep. I can support up to 28 lbs (I think) AWESOME carrier!

I have! My boys are 17 months apart so I needed my Safety 1st car seat to fit and it does! I use it in the "front seat" (the one furtherest from you). Sometimes I have to push the sides in, but its a nice secure fit! It's a great stroller! Highly recommend! Congrats on your growing family!

Yes. It's possible. I use it all the time in that position with my baby. But he is 11 months old now. Not sure if you can do that with a newborn who needs a carrier.

i put my newborn in it...at 3 or 4 weeks, she was fine in it. No reason why a newborn couldnt be in it. It doesnt have to be completely flat to have a newborn . (just make sure that they are on they're back and have the newborn head supports , and are all cozy, confined and swaddled. Its all good )

I assume you are talking rear facing. It isn't as reclined as an infant carrier, but my 8 month old is able to nap on there for quite a while. He's taken a 2.5 hour nap before. As far as forward facing goes, it's pretty much the same as any other carseat - it looks painful to sleep in.

Yes! I also purchased the infant snuggler and have it positioned in the center of the trailer. It's a good size and my 13 month old (tall for his age) sits very comfortably. Also adds some extra protection to the head & neck. It's a really sweet setup!

Yes, I still carry my 35lb, three year old on my back. She still loves it. I know she will be too heavy soon, but I will still carry her until she no longer wants to be on my back!!

If you were the baby on the back, there is a strap at the chest and waist. It is a toy version of the actual ergo carrier.

Yes I think it would work. The only concern would be whether or not the 18 month old could see over baby carrier. I think they would since the middle seat is higher but it may be a concern. Also be prepared to be a circus act. I get amazement whenever I go around town with mine. Lol!

I have a baby trend. Its a pain in the toosh to get on when the baby is in the seat though. FYI.. I haven't used mine yet.

Putting baby in the ergo can be used without assistance pretty easily, with practice, but I recommend watching the video demonstration from the Ergo website, or YouTube. I found the demo very helpful to mitigate some of the complaints I read from other reviews, like getting the straps loose. The latch that ends up in the middle of your back can be a little tricky until you are more confident about the baby being in the carrier before it's all tightened and secure.

I hate carrying the heavy bucket seats with an infant in them, so I prefer this style seat with my newborn. I have an older model but it works great with my son. I use a carrier like a Boba or ring sling after getting my child out of the seat.

I haven't used this carrier for a few years (my daughter is now almost 3), but as I recall, you can unclip on the side and put the baby in facing the front. I remember this carrier being very user friendly.Hope this helps!
