I realize front facing is not provided as an option, but has anyone tried using this carrier with the baby facing out?

I used it with my baby front facing but it was a little tricky at first to get it "just right." After a couple of times I became a pro!

Front facing is OK for only short periods of time. It can cause major hip problems.

It is an option to face the baby outward. In the instructions it walks you through it. However there are product videos on youtube & I believe babiesrus that show you a few different options on baby placement & wrapping.

No, you cannot use for infants, it's for babies 15 lbs or heavier, or 3 mos or older. Baby can sit facing you on your front or back. Baby should not be worn facing out; even if this pack had that capacity I wouldn't recommend it. Research shows that facing out is not an ergonomic/healthy way for baby to sit.

Boba specs the front carry for 15-30 lbs. They do not recommend front-facing, because that position forces the baby's legs to hang down and strain her hips and arch her back. I never carried my daughter front facing because she hated it...maybe that is why. Anyway, I'd say the design of the carrier follows Boba's thinking on the matter.

Yes. Mine is installed rear-facing and will be turned around when the baby gets older. Fits perfectly in rear-facing position.

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.

Thanks for your question! Your little one can be held on your front or your back, facing inward only. Boba does not offer a forward facing position. Please let me know if you have any other questions regarding the Boba Air, I'd be happy to help! -Alyson, Boba Inc.

The quad is a great stroller, HEAVY TO LIFT, but very functional and compact for the size. However, I have a Britax Chaperone carrier and it would not fit in the stroller, but a smaller car seat may fit, depending on the orientation that you are hoping for. You would probably have a better chance of it fitting, if it was placed in the backrow sideways vs in one seat facing front / back. I don't think their would be enough clearance facing forward in one seat, it would have to go sideways, BUT I could be wrong. I didn't use my car seat, I just took out my newborn and secured her in the back seat with blankets and the seat buckle, it worked perfectly.

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.

I don't see why not. Our son usually faces out but the hood snaps on so could go either way and the rest of it is from neck down so it shouldn't matter. I haven't tried it but yes, seems like it would work facing you.

You can but it is much more comfortable for the child facing toward you. The leg holes are more comfortable than most carriers because they face that certain direction and coddle your child.

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.

You can reverse it or face it forward with the situp seat. The bassinet on the other hand can only face back in the direction of the person pushing the stroller. This is a great stroller.

No.I have tried but there is no way to get it at the right angle for both you and baby to see and it doesn't stay even after much trying. I wrapped the a traps under each side head rest and put something behind the mirror to angle it but it is just not possible. It really needs.to be on a head rest otherwise baby can't see themselves. I still have mine dangling in my car but it is rarely used because she can't see herself. But on the plus side she is doing so much better in the car even without it! I really like this mirror I just wish there was a way to use it in the center seeing as that is the safest place for a baby. Hope this helps.

Yes!! I have a newborn who sits rear facing just fine in his Graco car seat. Great stroller!!! Would definitely suggest purchasing!!

It is not really suited for use as a carrier in general. If the baby is in it, holding it by the handle without using another hand to brace it doesn't work well. It simply tips forward and back too much. It is nice for carrying it without the baby and for lifting it onto the stroller though.

Yes the baby can be forward facing. I used mine quite often that way. My daughter loved it.

Sorry, I'm not sure as I did not buy for myself. However, the person I gave it to used it when the baby was front-facing.
