Is it a big process to take the seat out of your baby jogger or did you buy another seat just for the hychair?

It takes seconds to lift the seat out. So easy. I def wouldn't pay the money for an extra seat, nor would I want to store it or lug it around. We already have two seats as we use it as a double anyway. I love love love my BJCS and can't say enough good things about it!

It's not a hassle at all. You just lift up on the two sides and just put slide it onto the hychair. It's super easy and convenient. They hychair comes folded up in a small bag. It would be cumbersome to carry an extra seat just to use for the hychair. I use it everywhere. Even at home.

No! Not at all! It's really easy! But I would buy a liner for the seat so if your child eats something really messy you can take it out an just wash that instead of the whole seat.

Yes we took the headrest out. We have a Graco Click Connect. You don't need the headrest that the car seat comes with. My baby is now 5 months and she still uses this. It's on the cool side now. Works great to keep her head up when she falls asleep. You just have to make sure you position your baby right. The head needs to fit in the headrest part with the cushion surrounding the head. The head should not actually be resting on the cushion or his/her head will be leaning forward. Then pull the little side pillows toward you and to the center so they can almost touch each other, that way it's almost under the baby's chin and his/her head won't fall forward.

Well this is the way I look at it. I have big babies (over 9lbs at birth) and my first two grew out of there other infant seats at 3-4 months old. Still being too little to sit in the cart on there own but to big for the infant seat. So to me any negatives that there might be of this seat are far outweighed by the fact that I don't have to worry about my soon to be new baby outgrowing the seat so fast.

yep, we have. worked really well to enable us to utilize the stroller before our baby could support himself well. (We weren't using it for jogging at this point - we waited until he was older.) It enabled us to ditch the car seat adapter much more quickly than we would have otherwise been able to do. It also helped him nap exceptionally well, which is a great plus!

Yes i put my newborn in the seat all the time. I recline the seat all the way back.

Yes to both. I have not converted it for jogging yet but my husband has and says its super simple. The instructions even show a woman assembling it... Funny. But the storage is behind the child's head so if you put something hard in there, just toss a towel or small blanket back there to cushion. My daughter has a blast riding. I have fun and am loving it! I highly recommend this brand.

If you have the insert (which you need unless your kid is really big or 2+) then yeah you have to take it off. It's very easy, even if you have a baby in one hand. We love it.

The carrycot is just for lying down - once your baby(ies) can sit up unassisted you should stop using the carrycot (as they could fall out). The regular 'seats' part of the stroller comes with the main stroller purchase and you remove one or both seats to use one or two carrycots instead. Then you reattach the seats when you are finished with the carrycots.

With the convertible seat, I didn't find it necessary to loosen the straps every time I took the baby out. Try getting the babe out without loosening it and see of you really need to loosen them every time which will make it easier in the long run.

I have not had a problem with the kid seat at all. It comes off, which is good. But it's not like it comes off so easily that a kid sits on it and it comes off. I would defiantly recommend this seat, you'll be happy you did. Much easier to care for then the other options.

I had the Britax brand one, but it wasn't necessary. I removed it after my LO was 1-2 weeks old and he was fine with the insert that comes with the seat.

Couple of years ago the only option was to use the stroller from Safety 1st specifically designed for this seat. Would be good if it has changed since then.For us the seat itself (the safety it provides, comfort, its size too - weight limits, baby had much more leg room - room to grow, etc..) was worth the inconvenience of having to use it without the stroller.

It's not as easy as some other seats I've used, with only one tensioner, and simple spring latches. It's definitely more difficult to remove, because there is no easy way to release the tension in the latch harness once it's snugged down.

The part with the toys hanging from it removes (I remove it sometimes when I give my daughter a bath I place on towel on the seat and lay her there for minute while I set up her bath). It snaps into brackets on the sides. The cushion/seat comes completely off so it can be washed and believe me if your baby has a blowout you'll need to wash it and it comes clean great. The frame will fold flat so you could travel with it. It's simple to put together you just need to screw the feet onto the bottom. I remember it being pretty easy. I did it myself. It's worth the money. If you have a multilevel house I'd get two of them. I wish we had another one.

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 purchased a coupe with the armrest already installed. I didn't care for the look of it initially so I asked the dealer about taking it out and was told it was difficult and time consuming, thus expensive. After looking closely, it is apparent that at least one seat would have to be removed. I wasn't interested in doing this what with all the wiring for airbags, etc. After living with it for six months though, I love it, wouldn't we without it. My Mini is an automatic so I'm not sure I would like it if it were a manual.

I purchased one for my daughter because I didn't like the way she looked sitting in the seat. The insert gave her a more comfortable fit plus it kept her cool. I used it until she was around 8 months. You can't go wrong if you decided to use it. God bless
