I don't have a snap in car seat for my infant (3 months). Will she fit ok in the front without a carrier?

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.

We are using the Baby Trend Snap and Go Universal stroller for now and got a "nice" stroller for use without the carseat. I have a Maclaren and a Citi Mini. It works really well for us.

She may be a little short for this carseat. Even if it would fit her, I would highly recommend keeping her in a seat with a five point harness until she is at least 4. We started using this seat when our daughter was about 4 and a 1/2, and even then preferred the Britax seats with a five point harness because they keep her much more secure while in the seat.

No, I had a chicco stroller prior to this and the carrier WILL NOT fit. If you put it in the "stand" part of the stroller,it would not be secure. You will need to just place the baby in the front harness "sit" part of the stroller.

I have this car seat, and a P3 also. The car seat does not actually "click" in to the stroller. It will fit inside of the seat, but not securely. You may need to buy some type of strap, or something. I suggest researching it further before purchasing.

My baby was 22" when born and outgrew his graco car seat at 4 month's and it didn't fit bc his feet could pop it off. So if your baby is long it probably won't fit

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.

Hi Ashley,Unfortunately my husband and I tried to do the same but we're unable to do so. The toddler seat cannot fit facing forward with the infant carseat on top.

I don't think so. The carrier is shaped for the baby's bottom, so if you carried baby to the front, I believe it would be uncomfortable for him or her. I will say that my son can still see and appears to be engaged when facing me.

No. This stroller is better for an older infant, I had trouble getting the straps tight enough to stabilize baby very well. Now that my two are 1 and 3 years old, it works for short trips. 3 year old is about too big.

That's how I use mine. The britax adapters with the britax chaperone seat don't quite fit easily with the baby seat in the upper/rear facing and toddler/lower/forward facing position. If you pull the front seat forward just a bit as you're setting the infant carrier in place, you can make it click into place securely.

I haven't used this seat yet in my crv.. it is fairly large. My baby came at 7 months and then was way too small to fit in this seat when she was able to leave nicu. A friend let me borrow a carrier car seat. We will probably start using this seat next month. It seems nice and easy to use but I have also read other people having issues with it fitting in non suv type cars. If you get it and it doesn't fit you can send it back. I will say that when this was sent to me, the car seat was already expired, check the date if this is a concern.

The car seat needed a bit of added head support for our infant in the first two months (he was 6lbs7oz and 18.5inches at birth). He's now 28.5 inches and 18 lbs (10 months old) and can ride in the stroller without the car seat but needs additional support or a blanket tucked around him to keep him secure if we roll on rough terrain (we frequently walk with the stroller in the woods) since the straps don't quite tighten down enough over his shoulders. We love the stroller- it's functional and easy to use and the sunshades are some of the biggest out there.

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.

No. Try the Ergobaby Four Position 360 Carrier to carry baby front forward facing. I found when baby was old enough to want to see around, hip wearing sufficed, and after that back wearing and he can see over or around my shoulder. Ergobaby is fantastic!

No. To do that you will need a rear facing only infant carseat. This is a convertible seat that can be used both rear facing and forward facing but does not have a base for the carseat to be easily removed and taken into house or snap into a stroller.

Hi, our baby was 9 months old when we got the seat, and she even seems too small for it....there are long plastic guides on the shoulder straps that i think would be too long for an infant...that's my 2 cents... i would get an infant car seat - it can get heavy but the ease of transporting the sleeping baby is well worth carrying it.Good luck!
