BOB single car seat adapter July 24, 2008
Very easy to assemble and took less than 10 minutes! My Peg Perego car seat sat securely on the stroller.
 Makes a great stroller even greater July 1, 2008
This is my first review on Amazon, but after buying this product and reading the other reviews I felt it was a good time to start. I purchased the BOB Revolution at a silent auction when our child was one month old, not knowing that an infant car seat adapter existed. I figured I would store it for a few months until our boy was old enough to sit in it properly. I was looking for accessories and when I saw this option I picked it up immediately. I have to say it is fantastic. Reviewers that have stated that it doesn't allow the stroller to fold completely or that it holds the seat at the wrong angle have installed it WRONG and should do it again. It has no effect on how effectively the stroller folds and it holds our Snugride seat at the proper angle. I can confirm this by looking at the window on the side of the seat.
I asked our pediatrician how soon I could start jogging with our child at our 1 month appointment. He said our boy was very strong and as long as I watched carefully during the first couple times, that I could start immediately. I have been running with him 3 times a week since he was 6 weeks old (he's 9 weeks now) and he loves it. I can watch him closely as he faces me and it allows for great bonding... not to mention helps get me out of the house and exercising at the same time. At our 2 month Dr. appointment last week, the pediatrician said our boy was developing physically and mentally at a high rate and said some of it could be credited to the time spent outside jogging. I highly recommend the BOB and the Infant Car Seat Adapter!
Love it June 27, 2008

We bought this to go with our Chicco Key Fit car seat and it fits great. It is sturdy and easy to install.
Folds well, but must not make mistake in intallation. May 18, 2008

With the car seat adapter installed the Bob stroller will fold completely and easily, but there is a mistake you can make installation that will make you think it won't.
I am usually quite adept and assembling products. That said, the installation of this car seat adapter is not entirely trivial, but if you are careful and fully follow the instructions and take time to understand them anyone can do it.
The mistake I made on my first attempt was confusing what the instructions refer to as the "arm" and the "main bar". For some reason, I got them reversed in my head. The problem is that you can continue with the installation this way and the car seat (a Britax in my case) will click into it. However, a few things are awkward with this installation (difficult to move the hood, the angle of the car seat is slightly to steep, etc). But it appears to work except that you cannot fully fold the Bob like you could before. At first I was very frustrated and assumed I had installed it correctly but that it just didn't work well.
However, I went back and carefully reviewed the instructions and realized that I has thought that the "arm" was the "main bar" and vice versa. I started the installation over from the beginning and it was much smoother. Now the car seat clicks in at a better angle, the Bob completely folds and the canopy moves easier. In hindsight it was a stupid mistake. I am writing this review to save other people from the frustration that I had.
So, now I am very happy with the adapter.
I will also point out that the kit comes with a foam block that is optional. It also slightly changes the angle that the car seat sits, but it is not necessary. It is a bit of a "hack" in my opinion. The bob does fold with it in place, but there is nothing really keeping the foam block from falling out. I am guessing I won't end up using it much.
In the end, I am giving the car seat adapter only 4 out of five stars because the installation can be difficult to understand and I think it is a shame that it is not included with the Bob itself. It is a shame you have to spend extra to be able to use your car seat with the Bob.
Finally, I will point out that this adapter does not work with all car seats. You should make sure that the car seat you have or plan to use is compatible before buying.
Perfect for extending the use of the BOB April 23, 2008
This was a bit annoying to attach, but once put on it works perfectly. We've been able to exercise very comfortably with our 4 week old. She is perfectly comfortable in the car seat (SnugRide), and the bouncing is absorbed well by the BOB's shocks - this was our only concern about using the stroller so young. The main drawback is that the stroller can't collapse all the way, but it's such a great stroller that I didn't want to wait to use it and this is the perfect solution!
