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 believe this carrier is not for outward facing. It can't be front and back carry but only facing inwards. I have a 23 lb 16 month old and we use this carrier often!

We've taken it to the beach. Dragging it backwards with the front wheel up works best but it's not fun. We had our stroller loaded with all sorts of stuff, however, so maybe it's OK with "only" a child in it. Once you get to the wet compacted sand close to the water everything is fine of course.

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

My experience is that my daughter was never able to push this over while standing inside because as long as she was standing inside it, her own weight prevented the Babybjorn from tipping over. Also, when she got bigger and could climb over the sides to get out, it never tipped over on her. I'm not saying the Babybjorn will never tip over, but in my experience it is very difficult. Good Luck!

I am still happy with most aspects of this stroller, however I don't think it was designed for a newborn nor would it be safe. Even If using a baby carrier. No way to secure it.

Hi there,Thanks for your input. We ended up buying this rocker for our baby before he was born (he's now 9 months, so it's all packed away now). We loved it! We had no problems with it tipping. It's funny to see that I was so worried about it in my third tri-mester state :-)

Mine is still an infant but I do believe this will be an issue still. I got the GT though and will use a blanket to prop her up if needed. No big deal in my opinion

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.

Mine doesn't either, but it doesn't seem to be a problem when the weight of the baby is in there. Mine is 22 pounds and she isn't going anywhere when she's in it, even though it does wiggle a little bit without her.

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.

Unless you are a regular weight lifter I wouldn't recommend it, and I am pretty sure he exceeds the weight limit, anyhow. I was no longer comfortable carrying my son for any length of time in a front carry after he was 15lbs; he's about 25 lbs and this *may* help a bit with a hip carry still. You should look for a toddler soft structured carrier (I think most are rated up to 40 lbs), or I think a Storchenwiege wrap could work. Either way, you'll have to shell out around $150-180 new for a carrier that will work for you. The structured carriers are very nice for back carries if you need to carry him for a longer period of time.

Hi! There is still room for a toddler or child when the infant seats are still in place. I had twin babies when my son was almost two. This was the only stroller I could find at the time (6 years ago), that would work for us. It is a dream to push when empty, but it is VERY hard to push and turn with babies on board. I quit using it when the babies were 12 months old. I hated this stroller, but didn't have much choice....

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.

Hi, Kristen. I have to agree with the other reviewers who stated that your wee one is just too small to fit the seat and also would need to sit stably on her own. The float does not have support for stabilization for a 3 month old baby.

a little bit.... i havent used it with both shade pulled forward yet, so seeing sights hasnt been a problem.,... but theres something i forgot to add in my original review... the front child's foot rest doesnt come out far enough!! i have a very short 21 month old, and she can not use the foot rest comfortably. she just hangs her poor lil feet out and over it.... I have a very tall 2 year old who cannot sit in it at all because his feet hang over and hit the wheels.... i should edit my original rating because this makes it go from 5 stars to 1, in my opinion.

I bought this for my granddaughter for her first birthday, she was not walking yet and they do not live close but once she did start walking at about 13 months and still, it is one of her favoritie toys but....I am not sure if it ever tipped over when she was first walking. She is kind of tough so I don't think it would have bothered her. sorry if I am not answering your question.
