City Mini Stroller and Chicco Keyfit Car Seat
I'm researching strollers and car seats. We picked the baby jogger city mini gt for our stroller. I also really like the Chicco Keyfit 30 for a car seat.
I had some questions on the baby jogger car seat adapter made for the keyfit. Do you lose the ability to fold the stroller easily? I read someone's review that she had issues with it. I also saw a youtube video of the two together and the women was showing an insane amount of wobbling back and fourth, but I'm not sure if she had it installed correctly. I was just wondering if anyone had any safety concerns with that.
TIA!

I don't know if it is the same thing, but I have the city mini with the graco adapter and I can fold it just fine. I also think it is sturdy (as long as it locks in).

I have both.... love both, but I'm curious as to why you don't use the snap and go. Dh and I were saddened when we had to retire our snap and go

I have the city mini but we did buy the snap and go for the car seat. It was just a lot easier...

I loved my keyfit with the snap and go and used them for over a year. I didn't get the adapter for the city mini but started putting DD in just the stroller at 4 months on occasion. My bff had them both too and she preferred the adapter with the city mini over the snap and go so i guess it's personal preference.

As of now we just want the one stroller, if we find that we need the snap and go, we can run out and get it.

I have another question, I read a review on a BabyGearLab.com that "the GT has a significant safety issue, the risk of back-tipping risk when the seat is fully reclined" Have any of you had this problem? It seems like such a popular stroller and I'd image it would perform differently on tests than it would in real life. Any thoughts?

Re: City Mini Stroller and Chicco Keyfit Car Seat
We used the chico w/ snap and go then switched over to the city mini. We had the adapter but thought it was kind of a pain/not easy to fold and more work then just using the snap and go initially. Once he was big enough he went right into the city mini (around 4 months I think)

I used the City Mini and Chicco adapter, never saw the need for a snap and go. I wanted to walk with the baby, and the snap and go didn't really serve for long distance walks.

Interesting. I have the snap and go and walk 3-4 miles a day with it and love it!

Hmm I don't know that is what I was told by all my friends, that it worked for errands, but not long walks. I didn't really need a stroller for errands, I either wore him or stayed home with my husband, he has a very flexible schedule in the winter. If you have a snap and go, it's great to use, but it seemed like an extra stroller that I didn't need since the keyfit fit right into the city mini. My son is almost 3 now and we still love the city mini.

I had the snap and go and used it to walk with ds and hated it. I kept stepping on the locks and locking it up. I like the city mini so much better. It's really one extra step than the snap and go (button the lock on the bottom). Other than that it performs just as a snap and go performs.

That's the exact combo I had with dd and it was great. I had the snap n go too but preferred the way the city mini handled when walking

I have never had this problem but my DD is only 16 pounds. I love the stroller. I use it with the Britax B-safe car seat which has a different adaptor that I was more confortable with.
