How does this work with carseats? The carseat hitches would be below the mat, so do flaps in the mat open up so you can access the carseat hitch?

The mat completely covers the carseat hitch access areas. However, the area intended for the hitches is clearly defined on both the front and back of the mat. In fact, the back of the mat even shows where to cut in order to accommodate your seat hitches. I hope this helps.

Funny you should ask.....I bought and used a carseat since I was caring for my grandson 2 days a week last summer. I had to go out to my car to see what you are talking about......you are looking at a different set of hitches. There are hitches at the base of the seat back - pull the seat forward a little and look down - you'll see them. They are easily accessible and worked fine for the carseat we got. You don't need those hitches under the mat at all.

I think your best bet would be to call Britax and ask them. I have dealt with Britax customer service before and they are very pleasant, responsive, and helpful. I would think that your carseat with base would work just fine since it utilizes the latch system...but I would double check to be sure. Good luck!

You have to buy a separate carseat adapter - there is a special for Chicco car seats. My son is over 37" and fits fine! I have the canopy in the lowest position, too, so my daughter can see over his seat better from the back seat (I use it as a double with two seats facing forward usually). No complaints about room, but there is still more room for him to grow since we can put the canopy higher!

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.

It doesn't. I just put it between my grand daughter's knees and it doesn't interfere with the carseat. Her carseat is high, if it were lower, the steering wheel would probably be able to sit right on the regular seat and then go up between the legs. But she loves it (still). the good thing about it not attaching is that when she's done, she can either push it down onto the floor or on the seat next to her.

You should probably look for something else. Pockets are not that big and the top part of the mat will tend to flop over since nothing is holding it up. This is really for infant seats to hold it up in place. The only thing that holds it in place is a piece of plastic that gets wedged into the space between the backrest and the seat.

I haven't used a carseat adapter but in order to collapse the stroller you need to pull the handles that are on the seats. So I'd suspect you have to remove any attachments prior to.

I personally am using a Graco carseat with my Sit N Stand, however I have several friends who own the double Sit N Stand (which is why I got one) and they all use different brands of carseats with it. It is obvious when you click it in, that the "Baby Trend" brand carseat would fit the best, but it does hold other brands and you can recline the seat to help snug your carseat in closer. :-) I hope that helps a little bit.

Perhaps some types of carseats don't fit in as well as Chicco Keyfit 30....but our Keyfit definately snapped into the adapter. Perhaps they have redesigned this adapter over the past year (this original question was posted a year ago). The straps came with the adapter, but you can put them on or take them off, as you see fit. When our carseat snapped into place, if you try to lift the car seat --- the entire stroller is lifted off the ground. Very secure. In fact, we never even used the straps.

We bought this model and the Chicco Keyfit 30 carseat and could not find any way for them to fit securely, even after watching the video posted in the above comment. There just simply isn't enough room for both carseats to fit securely. I also found the instruction manual for the 1305TW and if you scroll down to Bar Location Chart Chicco is not even on the list.The manual: http://www.babytrend.com/pdf/1305TW_EN_0608c.pdf

This mat does not extend into the seat back area when the seatback(s) are lowered. It has the footprint of the original carpeted mat. There may be a longer mat for the Venza if that what you want, but I did go that route. I carry a folded "tarp" in the rear area for those situations when I am carry larger or dirtier cargo.

Carseats do not snap right in. I'm not sure if they make an adapter or not. Otherwise the jogger is awesome and has tons of space to put kids or store stuff.

No. This one is specifically desingned for britax. It does not "grab" the carseat, instead, the carseat clicks into this piece. It id a removable piece that Britax carseats brings attached. I guess you will need the universal carseat adapter.

I can't say, but I will tell you that when we took this product along with our child's carseat to the local fire department to have it installed ( they perform this service for the public), they wouldn't install the mat. They said it caused the carseat to slip and was dangerous. I have also heard that used of this mat nullifies the warranty on the carseat, but I don't know if this is true.

there are actually two straps that go around the headrest. The smaller one supports the weight of the back (grey "backboard" in the picture) and the second, longer one, goes from the front of the seat to the headrest. This second one is extra long and adjustable. Both simple loop over the headrest. I feel the carseat is very stable-I've never had it slip around or move. This speaks well for the quality, because my puppy is very active in the car:)

I don't have a car seat, but don't see any reason why you wouldn't still be able to use one. The cover has openings to allow access to seat belt buckle, as Kyle stated, and the upper straps are usually placed around the rear headrests (but they can still be moved up or down despite the strap around them), it doesn't obstruct access to the car seat anchors in my Hyundai (or in my previous Honda) LOL, They market the seat cover for pets, but it will equally save your seats from infant created spills ;-)

Oh wait sorry. It comes with the stroller piece. I am not sure about the carseat. I never used it as such.
