Customer Reviews

Folds well, but must not make mistake in intallation.
With the car seat adapter installed the Bob stroller will fold completely and easily, but there is a mistake you can make installation that will make you think it won't.

I am usually quite adept and assembling products. That said, the installation of this car seat adapter is not entirely trivial, but if you are careful and fully follow the instructions and take time to understand them anyone can do it.

The mistake I made on my first attempt was confusing what the instructions refer to as the "arm" and the "main bar". For some reason, I got them reversed in my head. The problem is that you can continue with the installation this way and the car seat (a Britax in my case) will click into it. However, a few things are awkward with this installation (difficult to move the hood, the angle of the car seat is slightly to steep, etc). But it appears to work except that you cannot fully fold the Bob like you could before. At first I was very frustrated and assumed I had installed it correctly but that it just didn't work well.

However, I went back and carefully reviewed the instructions and realized that I has thought that the "arm" was the "main bar" and vice versa. I started the installation over from the beginning and it was much smoother. Now the car seat clicks in at a better angle, the Bob completely folds and the canopy moves easier. In hindsight it was a stupid mistake. I am writing this review to save other people from the frustration that I had.

So, now I am very happy with the adapter.

I will also point out that the kit comes with a foam block that is optional. It also slightly changes the angle that the car seat sits, but it is not necessary. It is a bit of a "hack" in my opinion. The bob does fold with it in place, but there is nothing really keeping the foam block from falling out. I am guessing I won't end up using it much.

In the end, I am giving the car seat adapter only 4 out of five stars because the installation can be difficult to understand and I think it is a shame that it is not included with the Bob itself. It is a shame you have to spend extra to be able to use your car seat with the Bob.

Finally, I will point out that this adapter does not work with all car seats. You should make sure that the car seat you have or plan to use is compatible before buying.

Love it
We bought this to go with our Chicco Key Fit car seat and it fits great. It is sturdy and easy to install.

This is a great addition to the BOB
We love the infant seat adapter! The stroller does not collapse all the way, but it collapses enough it easily fits in most trunks. The benefit of the adpater is that you only have to buy one stroller until the baby is 55 lbs.! At first, I thought the car seat had to be positioned upright and our baby's head kept falling to the side. Then, I realized that you can situate the car seat almost flat and use the straps on the side to fit through the side of the car seat (at least it worked with our Graco SnugRide). We love the adapter and the stroller. I cannot tell you how many times I've been stopped by other Moms who ask about it. The adapter is a "must have" purchase if you buy a BOB and only want one stroller.
