seating in a doublestroller we are very happy with our sit-n-stand, but it is after all this time about to be retiered.

Yes, I believe it can. There are so many options, hence the name. Check on YouTube for videos of the stroller and I think you'll have this confirmed.

We have Chicco car seats that click in but our twins have to be facing the opposite direction in order to hear the safety "click"! We had them facing the same way once to take a cute photo but essentially one baby's car seat was just resting on the stroller! It was fine for the photo but not very safe if we kept it that way for our walk. We have been out driving and have seen a fellow Joovy Stroller owner out pushing her twins with them facing the same way but we are not sure how it worked unless one baby wasn't clicked in! Overall we absolutely love this stroller...so easy to pack up in the car and super easy to push both our boys around.

Our older grandson who will turn 6 soon and his younger brother both went from the infant carrier carseats to tge Advocate models @ one year of age and sat rear facing til til 2+ yrs of age (the older grand moved to a Pinnacle model last year when he sat too tall for the Advocate before turning 5 yrs @ approx 40lbs. We take him places often so we purchased one for our mini van too. We feel he is safe and comfortable so that justifies the price for us.

With the convertible car seats, I don't see why anyone would get safeseat. For next db I will get a snugride then use our convertible car seat. My db wanted a more "upright" seat asap and she was under the 1yo weight limit. The bucket seat becomes uncomfortable to them. You can use the covertible car seats up to 2 years rear facing, which is supposed to be the safest way to go. Then use them forward facing up to 65 lbs. So it doesn't make sense to get the largest bucket seat, besides you can't carry them in it after like 14 lbs.

The seat does not recline completely (sleeping position). It folds to about a 45 degree angle to allow the infant car seat to snap into place if the car seat is in the front position. So far we have only had the infant car seat in the back and our toddler sitting in the front part, but have set it up both ways. As for the whole stroller, it does not fold flat due to the wheels like the other reviewer stated. We just traveled across the world with our stroller, through four airports and three flights. We are very happy with the sturdiness of it and even after three gate checks it looks brand new. The seat does not recline completely (sleeping position).

I have twins and this stroller is amazing!!! You can call Bulbletide for the info on the car seats. They have an adaptor you can buy for certain brands but I never used it. The seats fully recline so I lay my boys down in their bellies to nap. They are 9mo now and we use the stroller almost daily. Congrats! And best of luck! Twins are amazing.

The reason I chose this stroller is for my 2 1/2 year old. I can put her in either the front OR the back seat. I normally put my toddler in the back and have the baby in front facing me. That makes the heavier child being directly over the rear wheels, making it easier to turn. No other stroller offers this. The buckles are big enough to buckle my toddler and her big stuffy in with her. It is almost as big as she is. Before he out grew the length of the belts, he would be to tall for it. Oh, and both seats are the same. So you can put him in either seat. Hope this helps.

I LOVE this car seat! However, I will say it is a bit challenging in the rear facing position when it comes to space. I drive a Saturn Vue, a smaller SUV and we have the car seat placed behind our passenger seat. Because it leans back a decent amount, we have to keep our passenger seat pushed up. I am a 5' 7" female and I fit just fine in the passenger seat with the car seat behind me. However, my husband who is a larger than average male, does not fit so comfortably. It will be much easier when the seat is front facing. If both front seat passengers are average size or smaller, there should be no issues. I LOVE this car seat!

I used my Peg Perego infant car seat which clicks into the wider side. However, if this is not an option for you, both sides of the double stroller recline...but not flat.

Agreed with previous comment that the seat needs to be at the most reclined position for such a young baby. I myself did not use it when my daughter was that young. She was/is small for her age and felt her infant car seat gave her a much "cozier" feeling. We just bought an adaptor to use with the UppaBaby frame.

I used Britax convertibles with both of my kids from birth just because infant seats are not safe! They were fine and my children were not big(my daughter was 6lbs 11oz and my son came home 4lbs 12oz-he was 3lbs7oz at birth). We have the new advocate for the upcoming baby ;-) The advocate even has an "infant insert" that can be purchased to improve the fit. Yes, they look small in the seat, but it does not affect the safety of the seat-at all. Think about this, a piece of plastic that goes through constant stress of in and out of the car(we have a materials engineer in the family and he was very adamant about it not being safe-too much stress on plastic). The studies about this have been buried time and time again, but there is some evidence if you search the net. Unfortunately, we were hit by a drunk driver when my daughter was only 4 mos, she was just fine in her Britax seat! When my son was 9 mos, our Corolla was sideswiped by a semi-truck, both kids were fine(they slept through it), my son in his convertible, my daughter in her Britax booster. We drive A LOT(40k miles a year) and I have never felt uncomfortable with the convertibles from birth and after our second accident we were told by the investigating officer that the Britax saved my son major injuries! I think you will be just fine going with the convertible from day one, we were and ours were "tested."

I never felt like the stroller was not stable with only one child in the front or back...however, it was more challenging to maneuver if there was only one child in the front seat. For this reason, I typically put our son/daughter in the back if I only had one of them. For the same reason, our son, who is the oldest, typically sat in the back seat. I hope this helps!

Yes...I just purchased this and I have a newborn and a child that is about to turn 4. My child wants to sit in the front the majority of the time but there is the option to buckle to a jump seat type area if we had it set up where she stood in the back...I will say this was the only combo stroller that had many different options and was light in comparison to Gracco or Chico brands

with one seat in the rear facing forward you can fold it with carseat adaptor in front. Also it folds with the adaptor in the back and no seat in front. We always take the front seat off no matter what when loading option we use unless is the adaptor. If you get this stroller i recommend having the oldest child not get used to sitting in front because it is harder to push with the heavier weight in front. We are trying to get our oldest to sit in the rear seat now and its a challenge. if you need an option for a cup holder i also have one if you choose this and we love it.

You need to buy the second seat brackets or the second seat kit in order to have this become a two-seat stroller. This is the car seat adapter that allows certain car seats to be used in place of a seat in either the first or second seat of the stroller. We bought this and it works great with our toddler and then the newborn in the carseat.. just make sure you buy either the second seat adapter kit (or second seat brackets) in addition to the stroller and this carseat adapter.

Couple of years ago the only option was to use the stroller from Safety 1st specifically designed for this seat. Would be good if it has changed since then.For us the seat itself (the safety it provides, comfort, its size too - weight limits, baby had much more leg room - room to grow, etc..) was worth the inconvenience of having to use it without the stroller.
