Can you lock an infant carrier in either compartment or do you have to take the baby out and strap them into the carseat?

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.

You can put a carseat in either the front seat or the rear. Seat backs but be in recline position (latch on back of seats) and carseat rearfacing. It simply latches on to the trays in either seat. And yes you can put a child in the other seat (regardless of front or back). Very easy to do and change from one "mode" to another.

Well if you are lazy like me and my wife, then yes. I have a base in my car and she has one in hers. At a moments notice we can take either car with haveing to fool with the car seat. You just snap it in and you are good to go. :-) That being said, the carseat itself can be stapped in using the seat belts and only them. You don't have to use the base at all. We have done that before when my wife went in her moms car. So NO, you don't need it but it is nice to have.

Yes you can. It's a bit tight for the toddler in the back, but it is doable. My toddler liked to look at the infant in the carrier :)

You can use the seatbelt. Most cars LATCH systems are only supported until 40 pounds. Love this carseat!

I find it kind of cumbersome to use when switching from car to car. I can imagine having to carry through an airport. Love the seat, but it took a little bit for me to get it down to a science. If you have an infant u may want to use a cradle car seat instead.

Yes. You can either use the seat belt to hold the car seat in or use the latch system. It's the same with any car seat.

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.

Putting baby in the ergo can be used without assistance pretty easily, with practice, but I recommend watching the video demonstration from the Ergo website, or YouTube. I found the demo very helpful to mitigate some of the complaints I read from other reviews, like getting the straps loose. The latch that ends up in the middle of your back can be a little tricky until you are more confident about the baby being in the carrier before it's all tightened and secure.

The base is separate from the seat. The seat can lock into the base, but it can also lock into a Britax stroller. A seat comes with one base. The base has a quick release handle for easy unlocking and removal of the seat. My wife and I bought a second, separate base so that we could lock one down in the back seats of both her car and my SUV. This allowed us to quickly unlock and lift out the seat (which has a stowable carry handle) and transport our son, rather than having to unstrap him or strap him every time we exited or entered a vehicle. Note that the base can lock to a seat by either of two methods: via the seat belts; or via hooks and latches, if your vehicle has anchor brackets. (If your vehicle is so equipped, your vehicle owner's manual will have a section on this; more than likely, you will have baby seat symbols marked near your anchor points.)

Yes, I just tested it out at store and I don't have Latch either. It's a pain to initially install with the seatbelt, but seems it will stay put much better than our current base for our infant carseat. I tested a Britax as well and it was the same issue, so no difference on that based on brand.

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.

Nope. As long as you have the straps adjusted to the correct length for your situation, it's very easy to get your baby in and out.

Yes, but my baby was 4.5 lb when she was born and other long term use carseats way too big and not safe for delicate infant, so I used infant carseat which has handle and detachable from the basement so you can carry without waking a baby and it's made for instants so it fits more and much safer. I got this toddler carseat when she turn 1.

So this can be installed one of three ways one is latch one is with the seat belt can be threaded through the Lao and secured with the click safe and then strapped in by the harness, or by the seat belt over the child like a booster seat. We installed into my bmw snd our Mini Cooper via the ice safe even though the card have march because it was easy and more securs than with the latch connectors. By the way the seat is too big for infants. It is also quite heavy and large,

You use the seat belt. Booster seats do not need the latch capability as the weigjr of the child keeps it secure. Make sure your child has the approppriate weight.

No, it is not equipped with locks or latches for an infant car seat to snap into. But, by the recommended age of 6 months for safe jogging, this stroller is more than adequate with a great recline for young infants.
