What are my options with Chicco key fit carrier

I have a toddler still in a stroller (the citi mini gt single) and I have the Chicco Key fit carrier carseat. When i take both kids out together, which will be all the time, I will not be able to use the snap and go. Is there a stroller that I can click the key fit onto and have my other LO sit comfortably and safely in the stroller? I looked into the adapter for the citi mini gt but my toddler will not be able to then sit in the stroller, doesn't look like there will be any room for her to sit while the carrier is clicked on top. I need to figure this out asap. THANKS for any help Chat Icon

You would need to buy a double stroller, and use the Chicco adapter on one side, or get a stroller like the city select or Uppababy vista where you can reconfigure the seating to fit the infant seat and toddler seat.

Exactly this. Or the britax bready converts to a double. Is your toddler old enough to go on the standing board if you hooked that up?

I haven't used it yet but I got the b agile double. I got the universal carseat adapter but apparently it's not really meant to be used with the double. It does fit but the carseat doesn't click in but it sits in nicely and then the straps holds it securely. I don't use a stroller often with my older one so I figured it will work well enough for when we really need it. The other options I considered that work with the keyfit are the chicco double, the sit and stand double, the city mini double, and the joovy caboose.

My toddler is only 23 months so would still need to sit down.

Question about the city select: would I need the adapter for the carseat with this stroller? I'm clueless

Yes you'd need the car seat adaptor. That would clip into one of the spaces and then you'd use the regular seat for your older child. The city select is a double stroller but usually comes with only one seat. You have to buy the car seat adaptor separately.

my dd was 15 months old when ds arrived and we got the city mini double. I picked up the car seat adapter for ds but i hated it. I had it for the single and it was great, but i felt so uneasy about using it wtih the double. I only used it once or twice and when ds was 2 weeks old we just put him directly in the city mini double seat, reclined it and had him in a body support. thats how i would walk with him. i would take the kids out for a 2 mile walk daily and had no troubles using the body support for ds. i would suggest trying that before getting the adapter for the double

here is the one we had...

ETA - ds was on the larger side...born 8lb15oz so i was comfortable using the body support

yes you would need the adaptor.
You can configure it in many diff ways. Here is a link showing them:

Chicco makes a double stroller that I really like. The Chicco Cortina Double. It takes the Chicco car seat in the front or back w/o an adapter. And it's tandem, not side by side. It also folds flat with one hand, which is awesome! My 3 year old fit comfortable in the front or the back.
