Any tried to put the infant carrier in the back? There was no baby in it yet, however, so I was just wondering about the weight distribution if the front was empty - will it tip backwards??

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!

I carry my son in mine pretty often, but not for long amounts of time. Probably no more than 20 minutes. He is 30lbs, so not quite as big as your child. I think the Boba distributes the weight really well. I don't feel any pain when I carry him. It feels more like a weight pulling me back, like a turtle with a shell, but not to the point where it is painful. Idk where you are from, but there are baby wearing groups near me that hold meetings so that you can try out different carriers. I found a group on Facebook. That may be a way to try before you buy.

If this answers your question, the baby sits upright in the seat and there is no support specifically for the head of the child. The back of the seat is slightly higher than the front, but it will not be tall enough to support the head. I too would recommend that the child be able to hold their head up on their own before safely using this product.

I have this carrier. I did not use this particular one for my baby as a newborn. I had a smaller one I used for him. It is geared towards smaller babies. I used this carrier as he got older, around 6 months.

My wife is 5' 3" and uses it. To use as a walker the seat needs to be in the up position, this places the weight toward the front of the walker. To me this makes the walker more likely to tip forward. Hasn't happened but I've seen the back lift up at times. t

Well... TECHNICALLY, you shouldn't put the infant seat in the back. I have a Chicco KeyFit30 though, and my husband forgot to bring the infant adapter to the zoo recently. It actually fit quite nicely (sideways) in the rear while my toddler rode up front. I wouldn't recommend that as a regular configuration though, as there is no safety strap like there is in front.

Great quality carrier. Great for infants 3 months & up. Great back support. Very comfortable for baby aswell as mom/dad. All day wear due to the paddings. Baby is seated in his/ her own pouch, instead of against ur clothes. Younger baby's need Somen like a wrap where it's more swaddling in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend this Bjorne to moms under height 5.4 I'm selling mine for $65 on ebay as I'm too short for it so I didn't use mine for very long.

The seat does not recline completely (sleeping position). It folds to about a 45 degree angle to allow the infant car seat to snap into place if the car seat is in the front position. So far we have only had the infant car seat in the back and our toddler sitting in the front part, but have set it up both ways. As for the whole stroller, it does not fold flat due to the wheels like the other reviewer stated. We just traveled across the world with our stroller, through four airports and three flights. We are very happy with the sturdiness of it and even after three gate checks it looks brand new. The seat does not recline completely (sleeping position).

I bought this stroller a month ago and loved mostly everything about it, but came back on to see if anyone is also seeing that their toddler needs to lean forward or slouch a little when there is a carseat installed in front. My toddler needs to bend her head forward a little when the carseat is installed.

It is very sturdy but I would not let my baby go near or under it. A little common sense it would probably tip over.

Anything is possible, but I think it would depend on the size/strength of your toddler. The base sits on the floor and is much wider than the top. Even if baby tried to run the length of the cot in an attempt to flip it, 1) I think the padded mattress would slow him/her down and 2) because the top is smaller, I don't think baby could get up to a speed that could cause the cot to tip. However, if the cot was close enough to a solid object (ex: nightstand) and baby was tall/strong enough, either the cot or object could move. There is a height max on this cot. I sold our pack-n-play and bought this new for our third kid and haven't regretted it. We have been traveling all summer and it is infinitely better than standard pack-n-plays.

I started using this once she was over one year. I used a different Graco infant carrier from 0-1yr. The babies do sort of lie down/prop up in an infant carrier. Once transitioned to this carseat, she sits with her back fairly straight. It is not as straight as she will be once she's in a booster seat with no backing, but I wouldn't not consider this reclined like the infant carrier. She has never complained about this seat. She seems very comfortable and I feel safe with it.

Lol! I hadn't noticed but I feel like my baby was completely safe when she was smaller. She is 14 months now and I have been using it since she was 9 months about 3 days a week. She can climb out of it now and it tips so maybe that's why? Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Because the straps cross it would smash your chest. But I have seen guys wear baby on their back. Hip carry might work, but I've never tried. The big wide crossed straps and waist belt make my 25 pound kid feel like nothing, it's a good carrier.

I had the same problem. The front keeps dropping. I looked at the instructions and they show a support which goes into two little tubes. However, I never received this piece. I contacted the seller who told me that it would be sent, but it never arrived. I don't use this seat anymore because of this.

I have a baby trend. Its a pain in the toosh to get on when the baby is in the seat though. FYI.. I haven't used mine yet.
