Can this be used with a rear facing car seat? Has anyone used it with Chico Nextfit?

I agree...it should be fine as long as your child's legs can be down far enough to make a surface for the tray. It's fairly shallow.

I have not used it with a rear facing seat but I don't see any reason why it couldn't be.

I've used it with rear facing seat for granddaughter and it was great. Graco car seat, just put soft toys on tray and she loved it

I think it would be okay if the child's legs are not bent a lot with knees much higher than the thighs. It would've been difficult with my child when he was around 1 has his knees bent a lot for rear-facing. You should check if it would work by placing a book on your child's lap to see if it stays somewhat flat. If you're not sure of the size of the product, check the company's website. I hope this product will work for your child or, if not at least, find something else that's useful.

I have a Chicco keyfit carseat, and I just push it back since it isn't removable. It's a little bulky, but it works. Besides, if I need to keep the sun out of my baby's eyes, then I just snap the solid rain cover over the mesh cover. Hope this helps!

Baby Trend's website says the Double Snap N Go works with the Chicco Keyfit 30. http://www.babytrend.com/strollers_snap-n-go/1305TW.htmlThe manual says Chicco Keyfit 30 also works, but...you can not "snap" the carseats, you use only the straps. Hope this helps. http://www.babytrend.com/pdf/1305TW_EN_1109.pdf

Hi Jessica,I have a small car myself and this car seat is really big. My husband placed it rear facing and it was a tight fit. The front seat had to be moved up to accommodate the size of the car seat, but overall it fit. We haven't tried it forward facing, but I imagine it would fit better that way. The car seat is also very heavy, I doubt you would be able to lug it around while traveling and you may have some difficulty fitting it on a plane.Hope that answered your question!

It depends ... my sister in law has a brand new Chicco keyfit 30 car seat and it fits at the top, but doesn't come all the way down around the edges at the bottom of the seat. I have an older Chicco keyfit car seat and it didn't fit at all. I was determined to make it work, so I got "Martha Stewart" on it and attached snaps to the top and bottom of the seat so I could attach the cover. It's a great cover, better than any other I have seen, so I wanted to make it work. My sister in law uses it without any modifications.

Yes. We have two of these seats for both our kids. They've been using them rear-facing from about age 6m and have both since converted for forward-facing. The seat works well both ways. We think this is a good car seat, the kids seem to find it comfortable. They only real downside for us is that they are very wide, so with two of these in the back seat there is not much room left in the middle.

I think so...I have a regular car seat n it's a little snug...so it should be able to fit the rear facing car seat...

If you end up liking this car seat then I'm glad it works out, but I irge you to try it before you take it with you. I thought I would love it and ended up hating it. I ended up buying the Chicco NextFit and have loved it.

Hi! We've never used our carseat for rear facing so I really can't efficiently answer that question . Forward facing however is a snap . My husband installed in less than 10 mins.

I have 2 of the same carseat and they both click. They have to be in an opposite direction (one carseat facing right and one facing left) if it does not work like that then it should be a problem because with a Chicco keyfit you shouldn't need an adapter. It says it on the manual. Good luck! Love this stroller.

There are instructions in the manual for both lap-shoulder belt and lap belt installations for rear and forward facing. After installation if the car seat is not at the angle you want, there is an angle adjuster you can buy.

No, only with a front-facing car seat. This same company also has one for rear-facing seats on their website.

I've used it with a 3 in 1 convertible car seat that does rear and front facing. I've also used it with an infant car seat. It's pretty big.

I have a Hyundai Santa Fe and it's rear facing for my grandson show it three months old and it works perfectly. Depending on who the seat is behind. In the case of my son (his father) who is 6 ft. 5 in. he would not be able to have it behind him as a driver because he needs the seat back so far.

Yes... I have the graco smart seat which is both rear facing and front. I had plenty of room and its a BIG car seat.

The angle adjuster definitely helps but rear facing no the seat is rather tall and will impede in a small car. I drive a Kia Soul and when we were still rear facing we had the car seat in the middle of the back seat. It's perfectly safe there and we had no issues adjusting the front seats.

We just went through this. I hated all the safety 1st strollers that this seat latches into. We used the clic system and the stroller still annoys me to no end. We ended up with the Chicco cortina together double stroller after spending a few hours at babies r us going through all the double strollers with our car seat. We found that if you recline the back seat a click or two that this car seat will fit snuggly rear facing inside. It won't click into place despite the similar attachment system it uses with its bases but it definitely won't pop out. It works nicely with the strollers sun shade and the seats sun shade, makes a great little cocoon. The only con is that the front seat had to site upright and cannot recline with the seat in back. I love the stiller in itself too. The back fully reclines to a bassinet and it handles very well with a kid in front and the seat in back. I highly recommend it
