Any tried to put the infant carrier in the back? There was no baby in it yet, however, so I was just wondering about the weight distribution if the front was empty - will it tip backwards??

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!

I really like the seat but for the first time this evening the harness got stuck. I had to remove the seat and reset the harness behind the seat. The harness is working once again and you can make the harness so snug that it will hold a 1 pound baby doll in place. Before returning the seat or doing anything like that check to see what local places (like the local police department will do this sometimes) will install a baby seat for you for free. They should also be able to help you with a problem like a harness that isn't working correctly.

Anything is possible, but I think it would depend on the size/strength of your toddler. The base sits on the floor and is much wider than the top. Even if baby tried to run the length of the cot in an attempt to flip it, 1) I think the padded mattress would slow him/her down and 2) because the top is smaller, I don't think baby could get up to a speed that could cause the cot to tip. However, if the cot was close enough to a solid object (ex: nightstand) and baby was tall/strong enough, either the cot or object could move. There is a height max on this cot. I sold our pack-n-play and bought this new for our third kid and haven't regretted it. We have been traveling all summer and it is infinitely better than standard pack-n-plays.

No matter what I did the adapter constantly slipped, wobbled, and was unsteady I would hold the carrier down with one had while strolling... If you can take it back. Lower the back of your stroller so it is like a bassinet and depending on how young your child is use a snugglie, I actually use the infant cushion from our momma roo for our little guy.... He's getting bigger and I'm slowly propping him up more. Scratch the carrier and put your baby right in the stroller comfortably and safe.

a little bit.... i havent used it with both shade pulled forward yet, so seeing sights hasnt been a problem.,... but theres something i forgot to add in my original review... the front child's foot rest doesnt come out far enough!! i have a very short 21 month old, and she can not use the foot rest comfortably. she just hangs her poor lil feet out and over it.... I have a very tall 2 year old who cannot sit in it at all because his feet hang over and hit the wheels.... i should edit my original rating because this makes it go from 5 stars to 1, in my opinion.

Lifting and lowering the back is a pain. I rarely do it and both my 9 month old son (no longer using the carseat, he's sitting in the actual stroller) and 2 year old daughter have fallen asleep in the stroller without any problems.

Your welcome! One other thing of this highchair is that the back of the baby doesn't stay straight, that is one negative for me it stays a little inclined to the back, so baby's back also

Unless you are a regular weight lifter I wouldn't recommend it, and I am pretty sure he exceeds the weight limit, anyhow. I was no longer comfortable carrying my son for any length of time in a front carry after he was 15lbs; he's about 25 lbs and this *may* help a bit with a hip carry still. You should look for a toddler soft structured carrier (I think most are rated up to 40 lbs), or I think a Storchenwiege wrap could work. Either way, you'll have to shell out around $150-180 new for a carrier that will work for you. The structured carriers are very nice for back carries if you need to carry him for a longer period of time.

I bought this stroller a month ago and loved mostly everything about it, but came back on to see if anyone is also seeing that their toddler needs to lean forward or slouch a little when there is a carseat installed in front. My toddler needs to bend her head forward a little when the carseat is installed.

Hi, I bought this baby carrier when my daughter is 1 month old. Now she is 10 month and 4 week old. She is 20 pound. I am still using my carrier but I am not comfortable as previous. The carrier has one snap-fastener both side of down part of carrier. It should be stay more stable to keep bottom part of it wide, but when baby is gaining weight and moving her leg more stronger then snap fastener easily opens. That time my back getting ache quickly. This carrier is not good and strong for big baby. I hope this review is helpful.

A 3 month old in the front would not work. The seat does not recline and sits almost straight up. The child will need good neck and head control to sit in the front.

I have this carrier. I did not use this particular one for my baby as a newborn. I had a smaller one I used for him. It is geared towards smaller babies. I used this carrier as he got older, around 6 months.

We kind of tilted it sideways and put the "legs" in first then the back. I strongly recommend you get an ottoman with this chair if you are using it in a nursery, because of the low back and narrow with it is not as comfortable nursing purposes as we had hoped. The Ottoman would give you a way to lean back. As are regular chair is fine, comfortable and good looking, as a nursing care, I would rethink.

The tipping over issue is only seen when you hang a heavy handbag or diaper bag on this stroller. The instructions specifically ask not to do so and BabyJogger do not provide any accessory either to hang the diaper bag. The only other reason when it can possibly tip over is of someone leans on it while strolling and ends up putting their weight on the stroller. These both cases are more like an operator error and not really a design issue with the stroller. We have had this for more than a year and have travelled extensively with it. It has survived the airline handling, rough operation, heavy weight grocery etc in the bottom pocket and is doing very well.

No I have not had any issues like that. Perhaps you may want to check and make sure it is put together correctly. Or depending on the weight of the baby could be making it slant as well. Hope this helps a little.

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 )
