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.

I bought it to use with my Cosco Comfy Carry Elite. It does not lock into place, like it does on the base in the car. I have to use the straps. Somewhere in the product detail information I saw a list of the different seats and how they work with it. Mine specifically said it does not latch. Check the info for yours and see what it says. If it doesn't say, you can assume it needs the straps.One thing you might want to know is that the dual front wheels swivel freely and make it hard to steer. Also, anything you put in the basket underneath you cannot get to without lifting the car seat off. It still is useful to me, I just have to live with the limitations.

We are using the brackets in the car seat along with the front tether. We tried the seat belts but the seat still felt a little loose. We feel that way about all the seats,not just this one.

I have the City Jogger "Elite" and I got the infant car seat adapter bar. It never "clicked" for me on the adapter so I never felt too comfortable using it so I only used it once or twice with the strap that was on the adapter. With that said, I read and looked at YouTube videos and it seemed to work for them, but not for me. However, I loved the car seat especially with the snap and go stroller. I felt it was more convenient to use the strap and go stroller anyway.However, I come from a tall family and my little one is tall so in some ways I wish I would have gotten a car seat that went up to 35 inches because my girl grew out of it by 8 months. So many opinions and things to think about but it will all come together! Good luck!

I didn't use the installation instructions because they didn't work for me. I took the top straps and threaded them under the head rests and then fastened them and the bottom straps are supposed to be threaded around the seats. Didn't work for me so I tried to thread them around the seat belts but they pulled the seat belts too tight so I am still trying to figure out how to fasten them. Tried and tried to fold it back up but I couldn't do it even with the instructions so I just leave the barrier up in my car. It isn't in the way and adds 2 extra storage places. It's worked out very well for me since my dog can't go over it and she is finally staying in the back seat!

I agree with the other answer. Pulling it out straight works best for us. We actually figured out we didn't have to loosen it to get our daughter out, so we've just avoided the issue you're talking about by not loosening them each time. I think it is because there is more space on the sides than a traditional convertible car seat.

It actually is the car seat as I also have the same problem.... :( We have another car seat in our other vehicle which does not have this issue.

My seat was purchased in November 2013. I find the chest latch EXTREMELY tight and difficult to unlatch. I also find the strap you pull to tighten the entire harness very hard to get tight enough. These are the only negatives to the seat, but I wouldn't buy it again knowing what I know now. On the other hand, I bought this model because my daughter already had one (for the same child) and she recommended it.

Adding to what has already been said, make sure the piece where the toothed end of the strap joins the strap lies flat against a surface of the car seat otherwise it wont tighten securely.It works well with the foonf car seat as long as you have the rear facing wedge attached, otherwise the little wheel guards will get pressed against the wheels.

I have th same issue. This is my only issue tho. I think as long as it doesn't slide around while my babies sit on it then I can live with resetting it. Shy of using duct tape, not sure anything can be done. I think the company should create a tighter or permanent fit.... and recall the loose ones to be exchanged for a better fit at no cost. Because the toddler seat is recessed in the Ltd there is really no reason for it to be removable.

My technique is to click all the belts around the kid, then pull out away from the child on the chest clip before I pull the bottom adjuster. I find that pulling out like that tightens the lap belt section and also alligns the shoulder straps with their respective slots. Pulling the slack out is a bit easier after that. Also try adjusting the shoulder belt slots, I find that the belts slide best when the slots are one inch higher than the child's shoulder... Above or below that they tend to bind more. Adjust seasonally to account for clothing bulk...

I managed to get the front seat belt wrapped around it and clicked in place. It wasn't a sure thing but kept it from sliding forwardin braking situations. Hope this helps

I had to use a screw driver under the cover and then pry it over the cars wheel, it was very tight but it doesn't move now that it's on. I love it so keep trying, maybe two people one to hold it in place and one to do the screwdriver thing. I think having it warm is a good idea.

My son just turned 3, is the 30th percentile so you have a reference. The strap is in the closest position and I should move it forward as it seems too far back to the point where it is in line with him. With that said, it does not pull tight up on him or seem to squish anything, but the shoulder straps are adjusted perfectly. So it's not like there is slack in the shoulder straps to make it looser on the center one. I just honestly haven't moved it forward yet as we just got this car seat. I hope this helps

No, it does not lock into the click connect seats. We used it even though we have the click connect, but it didn't lock it in place. It worked for us, but not everyone may feel comfortable using it like we did. According to the Baby Jogger website there is not an adapter to fit the click connect.

I've put the harness on over the blanket and that works. Sometimes the Velcro closure under the neck pulls open as the blanket works it's way back under the harness. Tried putting blanket on over harness but ring for leash is covered.

I do find that sometimes it is hard to tighten when my son is in the seat. For some reason it seems easier if he isn't in it. If I have it tightened almost to where a need it with only a little slack it isn't too difficult to make minor adjustments once he is in it.
