Is it normal to have some back and forth movement of the car seat when snapped into the base?

If there is, it's very slight. We had trouble installing it at first until we felt the bar between the back of the seat and the seat where the baby seat gets connected. Perhaps the baby seat didn't get attached to that bar. Your local fire department can help as well. Good luck!

We had zero movement, I would call Britax, they have amazing customer support.

I had a little trouble at first too, but now I have the hang of it. You have to bring the backrest portion all the way forward and then back slowly. You will hear it clicking. You may have to do if a few times before it locks in place. It took me a while to get it right, now I get it first try.

Hard to say. My second son was very much like that but when i switched him from infant to the next seat it mostly stopped. It completely stopped when i turned his seat around. But he also got car sick really easily when facing backwards.

Hi Rick...I bought the same chair and had the exact same thing happen while assembling it (the last step was to insert the back into the base). One side clicked into place, the other side slipped in...but no click. I examined it, wiggled it, eventually operated it from front to back and it seemed to be solidly connected...no wiggles, no wobbles. So I accepted it as fully assembled. I've been using it without any problems for about a month now...and I love it. So does my dog...he can't wait for me to get into it. The reclining mechanism is still a little stiff, but I think it will get a bit smoother in time. I think you are probably good to go, particularly if there is no wobble or looseness in the back. That second insert was just very smooth...I hope. Don

While I don't know if it specifically is or not, I'll tell you that my daughter bought her car seat in the spring of 2014. I obviously just purchased this base in the last couple of weeks. I'm sorry, I don't think I can be of any more help for you.

I have not had that problem. Push in until it snaps. I had to push a little harder than I originally thought.

It depends on what your definition of rigid is. It's rigid in terms that I don't expect it to come apart or rip. Though, as I stated, it does move around my trunk.

That's what I thought initially. Well, it snaps :) just use more force to snap it in, no worries, you won't break it :) after you use enough force, you should feel/hear as it clicks in and them it will be tight and stable.

We just installed it this last weekend! It doesn't impact our 2yo at all! You're supposed to slid the car seat into the center of the stroller when the older sibling isn't riding and I think that might be the position it's in in the picture. So far we're happy with it. The car seat does "bounce" some which takes some getting used to, I triple checked that the base was on there securely when I saw it bouncing :) and it does sit "out there" some, but everyone seems happy with the set up! Hope this helps!

Mine is a little stiff. I think it's suppose to be so it doesn't move by accident.

No. The base it stationary. Only the seat slides along the unit itself, giving the baby about 16-18" of side to side movement and full 360 movement.

No, it may be that the arm that hangs out to the right is not in or out all the way. It's used to raise and lower the seat height, but if you move it right and left it locks and unlocks the ability to lean back in the chair. I've got mine locked a lot of the time, but sometimes it pops itself out and I slip back into a leaning position. When that happens, it makes that sound. Otherwise, the only sound I hear is of the leatherlike creaking.

Just normal to turn, etc. I did not notice anything abnormal that I remember. The doll is with my granddaughter now. Her hair is a mess though.

There's a release button on the sides of the carseat where it attaches to the adaptor that you press before lifting it. It is a similar mechanism as the one for the base.

Not normal. Nothing should be shifting or clunking. And not good that it was shipped without padding. Return it ASAP.

That seems to be normal and does not affect a person sitting in the chair. In other words, it only moves up and down; not side to side.

No it isn't normal to move. I took mine back because it kept shutting off and I thought it had a safety feature for overheating when actually it was faulty and going out even when it was brand new.
