Has anyone had any comfort issues with a 2yr old in the front seat with an infant carrier in the rear seat?

no- my older son was 22 months when our 2nd was born, we used this stroller for both of them for almost 2 yrs. My older son never had issues in the front seat with the infant carrier or when we switched our younger one to sit up in the 2nd seat.

The only that I found to be any type of an issue (and it was not that bad) was that when using the carrier in the back I was not able to recline that front seat too far back. Just a small bit of advise, is have the heavier kid in the back. It is easier to push that way. I did it the other way once and it was harder. I also put my carrier in the front if kiddo was sleeping so I could recline the back seat all of the way so he could lay down.

I'd say yes. Our baby is more than 22 lbs and still rides comfortably in the Ergo (don't recall how long he is) - you may find that as your daughter gets heavier, *you* are more comfortable with her on your back instead of in front (and the side-carry option is nice to switch things out, though I never do that for long periods of time). We still use the Ergo in all three holds with our little guy. :)

Not that I know of. My youngest was 8 months old when we bought it, and she sits right in the stroller. I don't think it's made to accommodate an infant carrier.

I hate carrying the heavy bucket seats with an infant in them, so I prefer this style seat with my newborn. I have an older model but it works great with my son. I use a carrier like a Boba or ring sling after getting my child out of the seat.

We live in Texas and haven't had a problem with the black. I have a two yr old and newborn as well.The car seat adapter is sold seperately and it would replace the second seat until you are ready to switch it out. It won't fold all the way with two seats so I usually just take it off to fold and click it back on when I take it out. We have a van and it fits nice but you also have the stroller and then a loose seat in the trunk so it does take up a little more space.

It's great! I always put the infant car seat on the front seat so that I could see the toddler as well. However, it does make the stroller even longer to have the infant car seat on the front.

I think it depends on the size of the car seat and also the size of your older child. I find that we have plenty of room with ours (although our 2 year old is small), and my 2 year old loves being able to chat to the baby, although she has to lean forward a fair bit to do it. We have a fairly large car seat and we haven't found this to be a problem.

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.

My daughter has this and also a very cushy Graco My ride 65. Since about 6 mo sh has been equally comfortable in both. We love this car seat for use in daddy's car and also for travel. No complaints about the cushiness from our toddler.

Our little one was born 6 lbs 18 inches and we have used this car seat from the day we left the hospital. She is now 6 months and we still use this car seat and have even used this car seat to help calm her down when nothing else would work and I am not just talking about the 2:00 a.m. car rides, we just strap her in and carry it around....she just feels comfortable in the car seat I guess....but as I have quickly learned some things will work for you and your little one and others might not...so if you think it has to acute of an angle, don't buy it b/c if your little one is upset in the car seat all your going to think about is "its that stinking acute angle and that darn car seat making him/her uncomfortable", even though it might not be.

The full car seats do not move as easily between vehicles as the infant carriers where the base stays strapped in. I would not call it "easy" to move between vehicles, but it is doable. The seat belt has to go through the bottom rungs, which is cumbersome. Or it snaps into latch connectors in the seat (also not something easily repeated daily). The older infant/toddler seats in general are not easy to move between cars. It is not as if this is more difficult than others brands.

When I bought this car because my son was two years, I can not confirm that serves a baby, though the backrest is fully reclining, I'd say no problem but I'm not sure

Hard to say. My second son was very much like that but when i switched him from infant to the next seat it mostly stopped. It completely stopped when i turned his seat around. But he also got car sick really easily when facing backwards.

There is hardly any padding on the seat or backrest. When our baby was little we added a padded head rest/support (like you would use in a carseat). As she got older and have used it without extra padding she has never complained about being uncomfortable...

No, and no. It's very heavy and is best kept in the vehicle at all times. Some people prefer to have an infant carrier seat that can be clipped into and out of a base that remains in the vehicle. This is not that. Others prefer to just take the infant out and either wear baby or put baby into a stroller. I bought this for my 2yo son once he outgrew his infant seat. It's an amazing seat. And if I had to do it over, I would probably still prefer to keep baby in the infant carrier seat, then transition into something larger. But like I said, different people prefer different things.

Mine is still an infant but I do believe this will be an issue still. I got the GT though and will use a blanket to prop her up if needed. No big deal in my opinion

I believe so. My husband and I go back and forth with this carrier and we've had no issues. When he's carrying our 2.5 year old there's still a lot of strap left over on all the adjustments. It really is a great carrier.
