Is the "up" handle position safe for driving, or is ta "carrying only" position?

I've always had it up, not just a handle. I don't know that that is how they have designed it. I can say with honesty that it is sturdy. I tripped and fell once when carrying my oldest and she landed on the top handle and flipped over and she was perfectly fine. A little mad but well protected

Never, ever leave a carry handle up during driving, on any car seat. Your child could be cut in half or impaled with plastic. Not worth toys on bars or anything else, ever!

With all Peg car seats, the handle must not be in the carrying position. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl;=en_US&key;=0AqfLLALd7tZtdGx4NjJlTFp0WUJUU0lLZFJDX0VpRlE&single;=true&gid;=0&output;=html

Technically, I don't believe there are any seats that say it is "safe" to leave the handle up while traveling for liability reasons. However, I always travelled with it in the carry (up) position as my child had a toy bar for entertainment and it was always very safe and secure. It did not impact the safety values of the seat at all.

The manufacturer says that it should be down. However, we have left it up with our second child to hang some safe pull toys.

I pull myself up to a horizontal position using the large handles and then sit up from there. I do not invert to a vertical position. When inverted my head is at about eight o'clock. This works well for me and it is easy to return to the sitting position by using the handles.

No. The handle is used in the 90 degree position as pictured or you can turn the handle down on the cart for storage. Those are the only two positions possible.

Is always better to have a bar to protect the driver , specially when you travel. Just in case they throw the bag upside down !

No. It's not a bad carry-all because it is very light weight and stable when in the upright position. But when putting it into the car, unless you have a very large SUV it has to be laid down on its side and it doesn't have the most secure closure on the top.

I wear it weak side but pushed a little forward so I can draw with my dominant hand also. I sinks down some once on your belt and the handle has not ben an issue.

Can sitting and standing, in both situations is not a problem. I think it is the user manual. Only hand should be relaxed, and it works perfectly.

Yes, when peddling there is some compliance side to side. So, it allows a more realistic feel. You can also stand up.

It's better if you stand next to it vs. Behind or in front. It's not perfect, it will topple if you try to pull it from only one side. It has made my life easier for sure in regards to transporting my table. I like that I have the option to both carry or wheel it.

The handle is stationary which I find appealing. You can push it in front of you or pull it behind.

If you are pulling under load, handle will lock horizontally to the back. If you are pushing under load, it will be cocked forward.

We have been pulling by hand,- we go from camp site to dump station............ so guess it would depend on how far that would be for you.. Safe isn't an issue. More, how much energy do you have. Full it is heavy. The additional handle that you can buy is definitly worth it as it enables one to stand straight rather than stoop. It is a good product. They say one can pull behind car/truck as well. We have never had that great of a distance where we felt it necessary. We do like it. And would buy again.

While carrying if I am not careful back/seat falls of, it is easy to put back. While using it in the car I have never had the issue.

Not to me personally. My handles are still intact. The cross body strap is what I typically use.

The handle is just to go up or down, thats it. No other special thing about it. No safety cap. Just the handle. Nothing more to this stool

I found it very sturdy from the top handle. I read people were stating it bowed on the sides. I have had no such issues. Walmart sells thisnbag. I did my research there. Well made, sturdy and equipment is safe, secure and snug. Nothing mofes around.

I have not noticed a preferred side. The handle is just a straight stick, I don't see how it would make a difference which way you held them.
