2011 City Mini Double Shoulder harness straps: Those of you who have the city mini, if you have older kids who don't like the shoulder harness how did you remove them?

We took off the top hooks, un-threaded the whole strap, put the waist clip back on, re-threaded through the little sliding length adjuster. You will have some strap still dangling, because it is long, but it is working for us and way easier to load and unload our twins. They would hate being strapped down! This is on the 2009 version, but I think the straps are the same. Does this make any sense to you?

We decided not to use the velcro. We read somewhere that the straps work better without it. It doesn't seem to bother her.

Technically the are removable; however, I think they are made to only adjust. I don't believe they were made to remove them because the harness straps sewn into the back portion would just flap around and there wouldn't be any way to secure it. In other words the packs are a continuation of the straps that keep entire back pack together. Hope this answers your question.

We bought ours for the city mini double and it worked well...my suggestion is to call baby jogger and let them know what model you are trying to attach it on...I did this prior to purchasing on amazon and they were very helpful and it gave us the peace of mind knowing we bought the correct version...good luck!

My baby has also gotten more and more difficult to change as she's gotten older (she is 10 months now). Unfortunately, she's been able to thrash free of the Velcro when the strap is used as a swaddle for quite a while. And if I simply use it around her waist she can undo it by hand. I don't find the swaddle strap useful for her as she rolls and scoots and arches. All that sometimes helps is giving her something distracting (like my phone or keys). In short, it's a fine changing pad, but has no magic for a larger baby who doesn't want to be changed.

I'm not sure I would call it a shoulder strap? It would be one of the chair straps extended, instead of extend this strap, I use it around the perimeter of the booster to secure the flap. I've purchased this seat 6 times for friends and family. We own 2 for our twins and think they are fantastic. Started using the seats when the twins turned 7 months. Now they are 2 and carry their seats in by the small handle. As they've gotten older we don't worry about securing the shoulder straps, and you can kind of fold the top over to fit a "lower" backed chair... Love it, we are never waiting for a booster or space for one when we dine out. I'm not sure I would call it a shoulder strap?

I had the same issue with mine. I just dint installed it. Most changing pads comes with safety straps. I changed the one it came with and bought one that is more comfortable for the baby.

I had it fit on several single strollers and balance perfectly. (Even crappy cheap ones). I don't see why you couldn't find a way to adjust it to a double stroller because the straps are adjustable. I never had to use more of the straps so I couldn't tell you for sure and I just gave mine to a friend about to have twins. Great for multiple kids though!!

The straps are in the back behind the car seat. You have to adjust each side individually. It is extremely hard to adjust when the baby is in the seat. The newer models have a pull strap in the middle front which makes it so much easier than this car seat.

Will do! :) How funny. I am now actually looking at the Graco Quattro Tour Duo for my first primary stroller, just because it's cheaper and comes with cupholders, carseat attachments, etc. I looked at the Duoglider in the store and it was horrible, but the Quattro has better reviews and supposedly folds down 20% smaller. Looking at the measurements, it SHOULD fit... never know though. I'm going to try that one out this week. The boutique I went to to look at the City Mini actually had the Quattro Duo in stock but I just totally didn't even look at it, ha.

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...

we have the city mini gt. it fits, but you have to take the two back wheels off. not a big deal- they snap on and off pretty easily and then stroller just slides in. tossed wheels in the seat area of stroller, pretty protected. bag is big/long for the stroller, so there is room to add other stuff- coats and such- before tying it up.we used this for one trip (2 flights) and it got pretty beat up. ripped in a few places. i think all of these types of bags last for about a trip or two. but its better for the bag to get beat up instead of the stroller!

Do you already have the seat? If so, please read the manual and all of your questions will be answered. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but too many people don't read the manuals and they contain life saving information about the correct use of car seats. The manual will tell you how to adjust the harness :)

Hi Jennifer! I bought the cob size harness and it did have the buttress strap. I would think that the mini would also have it as pictured. Good luck! Brenda

My maxi-cosi infant seat does not fit without the adapter from baby jogger. It is too tight. I think that will probably be the same with all double strollers because the seats are more tight than on a single stroller. I hope I could help.
