Infant carrier in the back?? Has anyone tried to put the infant carrier in the back part?

I would never, NEVER put the carseat in the back of this carriage... it's just not worth it. It's not the way the carriage was made or intended for use. Accidents happen...what if you were to tip the carriage up to go up a curb and the carseat fell out?!? I saw someone's review with a picture of the carseat in the back like you are describing and I thought to myself...CRAZY! Use the thing the way it was intended. Better to be safe than sorry. If you think your older child will get bored (?) give them a book to look at or play a little game with them like I Spy or soimething. Your sister doesn't even have this model carriage...don't do it. Follow the directions; it's better than a trip to the emergency room. And if you were to use it incorrectly and something went wrong; you'd look like such an incompetant when you explained how your child/children got hurt. I'm big for following directions and using things properly. Good luck!

This would work great! It's seriously the most versatile carrier we have tried. I'm 5ft and my hubby is almost 6ft. We both use it fine. It's got a good wide bottom so it supports the baby properly instead of letting them dangle. Our son loves it and he's 15 months old and still has room to grow in it.

At this point, they don't make an attachable back for this one... If you're wanting a backed booster, try their convertible ones? We have the Nautilus 3-n-1 convertible carseats that go from young toddler seats (first 'forward-facing' seat) to the backed booster version. Plus, with those, you can completely remove the backs as well, in which case it would become essentially the same as this one.... Hope that helps!

I have not tried it but I think not. I have only put the stroller with the regular seat in it.

Not that I know of. My youngest was 8 months old when we bought it, and she sits right in the stroller. I don't think it's made to accommodate an infant carrier.

I find that it's relatively easy. I have the ErgoBaby Sport, but it goes on the same way. I think it's super easy to put on with baby in the front, a bit more tricky on the hip (though I have that down cold), and a bit more difficult on the back. I had my husband help me a few times so that I could adjust everything correctly. I have longer arms, so I can reach back and clip the back support fairly easily. I think if you go into major retailers, they'll have a sample you can try out - it took me 2-3 times, but I whip that thing on and off like nothing now. :) Hope this helps!

I don't think so. The carrier is shaped for the baby's bottom, so if you carried baby to the front, I believe it would be uncomfortable for him or her. I will say that my son can still see and appears to be engaged when facing me.

i put my newborn in it...at 3 or 4 weeks, she was fine in it. No reason why a newborn couldnt be in it. It doesnt have to be completely flat to have a newborn . (just make sure that they are on they're back and have the newborn head supports , and are all cozy, confined and swaddled. Its all good )

Yes according to instruction, it can work for new born but only with additional insert. As for me, I waited till 5 months to put my baby to this carrier. It is better to wait for back of newborn.

Put the carrier most of the way on while baby is laying in the crib or sitting in the carseat. Then put baby in position against your chest. Use one hand to hold baby in position (hand outside carrier) while you use your other hand to put the second shoulder strap on. Keep holding baby while you clip the top clip in the back with your free hand. It does take a bit of practice (maybe over a bed or other soft surface) but I was able to do it easily after only a few tries. I was able to safely carry my baby starting at about six pounds (she was a preemie).

I haven't but I'm sure it would work just fine as the back is strong enough to support the mother's back and the arms would give her support to hold the baby comfortably.

I personally didn't use mei tai carriers til my baby was older. There's ways to use it with a newborn. Check out thebabywearer.com

The toddler seat isn't really usable with an infant carrier. They can only use the standing option. I would actually not buy this stroller because it is wobbly and can't function as a double stroller with the carrier.

I assume you are talking rear facing. It isn't as reclined as an infant carrier, but my 8 month old is able to nap on there for quite a while. He's taken a 2.5 hour nap before. As far as forward facing goes, it's pretty much the same as any other carseat - it looks painful to sleep in.

We got this for our granddaughter at our son's request. The carrier is otherwise wonderful but they were disappointed not to be able to have her face forward when it's used as a front carrier. Tried and couldn't make it happen. If you find that it can be done, let me know.

You can only carry a baby facing you in this carrier, or on your back. I should think the carrier doesn't make that much difference with the position of baby's legs, as this type carriers always mean legs are wide open and knees bent, kind of like squatting, much the same way as if you're carrying a baby on your hips. That is supposed to be more ergonomic for the baby than legs hanging right down, less stress on the baby's back.

That's how I use mine. The britax adapters with the britax chaperone seat don't quite fit easily with the baby seat in the upper/rear facing and toddler/lower/forward facing position. If you pull the front seat forward just a bit as you're setting the infant carrier in place, you can make it click into place securely.
