Does the Job/Overpriced/Cheaply Made September 6, 2010
R. Armstrong (California)
Baby Jogger Car Seat Adapter - Depending on the type of Car seat you have you will use some or all of the parts included. Overall the product does what it needs to do, but is pretty cheaply made for what you are paying.
The only reason I would get this product is if you don't want a Snap&Go in addition to this, i.e. save space. Otherwise we would have kept the snap & go for the same cost as the car seat adapter. You can probably get this used, and save yourself the money of getting it new.

I love this bar!!! It has made everything so easy for popping my carseat into the stroller and going! I really wanted the city min after being able to use a friend of mine's but had already recieved a Britax Chaperone carseat as a gift. I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to use both, but the carseat adaptor bar made it to where my stroller and carseat were completely compatable. I absolutely am glad that I bought it. At first I thought that it seemed a bit pricey for a bar, but it had saved us money and trouble in the long run from having to buy a whole new set. This way I got the carseat that I wanted and the stroller that I wanted and they work together perfectly even thought they are not the same brand.
 unnecessary. the stroller alone is all you need August 5, 2010

There are two reasons to buy an adapter that allows you to put the infant carrier car seat into your stroller. The first is so that if you have a sleeping baby in your car seat, you will not disrupt him by transferring him to the stroller. the second reason is because the stroller is for more mature babies, namely those with neck control and or can sit up. If you are really concerned with issue number one then perhaps you will consider getting this. However I found that it was rare indeed that my baby was asleep in the car seat at the time I needed to use the stroller, and he always went back to sleep if we just took him from the car seat and out him in the stroller. if you are more concerned about the second issue then you really don't need to buy this. the citi mini stroller fully reclines to accommodate the youngest of babies. If you want to support the little neck consider buying an infant support insert Kiddopotamus Snuzzler Complete Head and Body Support, Ivory Terryfor a fraction of this price.
In conclusion. This product is only minimally useful. It does adapt to an infant carrier car seat, but it isn't really necessary and certainly not for this price.
LOVE IT! June 8, 2010

First of all, I LOVE the Baby Jogger stroller. Second, I'm so glad that I splurged for the car seat adaptor! It is easy to put on and take off of the car seat. It is extremely handy for anyone who has a baby that falls asleep in their car seat. And in addition to that, I love having my baby face me when I'm out shopping. Great purchase.
 Disappointment - consider your other options April 19, 2010

We have new twins, and made the investment in this City Select system. The stroller seems very nice but the car seat adapters are a total disappointment. They are poorly designed; our Grace Snugrides are a poor fit into the attachments. We have installed them correctly - an email with photos and 20 minute conversation with product support manager confirm this.
Design Flaws:
- they place the car seats farther forward than they should (could) making the whole unit longer than it needs to be and pushing the front car seat out of the front farther than it needs to be.
- attachment is very poor - the U-shaped brackets are completely the wrong shape you'd want to fit with a Snugride - I know this is a universal adaptor but our Snap N Go (see more below) does this substantially better for much cheaper.
- instructions do not provide any information about how to adjust the adaptor so that the proper fitting occurs between the black U shaped plastic support and the plastic fins on the Snugride. This required a call to BJ to confirm and I was told "we're in the process of revising those instructions to be better for the future."
- Even with conversations with Baby Jogger and photos, we can't get one of them to fully engage the spring loaded hook on the Snugride bottom with the metal bar of the adaptor - probably not a safety hazard because there are redundancies in the supports but BJ should be able to do much better for this price!
- the Snugride mounts in such a fashion that the lips/hooks/loops (whatever you call them - they are intended to secure the woven strap that goes over the top of the car seat) arent used and the adaptor strap goes awkwardly over a bulb of plastic on the side of the car seat - just shoddy design that should be better!
As I said above, we bought a used Snap N Go double to get us through the 2 months that Baby Jogger couldn't ship these adaptors because of some sort of production issue. For $29 it isn't perfect, and the City Select is a better stroller, but the attachment of the car seats is far superior on the Snap N Go and it is also a "universal" car seat fitting.
We're very disappointed to have spent $130 on the two adaptors, making about $800 for the whole City Select system, and we couldn't even use it for 2 months due to BJ issues with production and shipment (total of 3 months from time we originally paid for it). So we'll get a few more months use out of them but may still use our Snap N Go because of the more secure fitting ofthe car seats, lighter weight, and easier use.
This is my first experience with Baby Jogger, and they say this adaptor style is the same used on all their stroller for 3 years. I can't believe they can't do better for this price and that long on the market!
